Topscape topsoil and subsoil can be matched to local conditions or, if those conditions aren’t suited to what you want to achieve, help you to change them. We are delighted to announce that Dean Baker has joined our team of TSM advisors bringing over 20 years experience of sourcing soils, minerals and haulage for landscaping projects into the South West of England and South Wales.

Manufactured Topsoil is an important part of most landscape projects (gardens, civil engineering, sustainable drainage systems-SuDs, and reclamation sites) where it supports the growth of vegetation. It does so by providing anchorage for plant roots, by slowly releasing nutrients, by providing oxygen, by draining excess water whilst delaying/retarding run off and by retaining moisture to sustain plant growth during dry periods.

Manufactured Subsoil is an important part of soil profile construction, supplying plant nutrients, anchorage and reserves of water. It can also play a role in SuDs schemes as it transmits rainfall to deeper layers or watercourses. It also enables the deep rooting of trees, shrubs, grasses and other plants. It can control waterlogging of surface payers and helps vegetation and crops withstand drought periods and provides anchorage for trees.
