Topsoil

Absolutely. All of Turffit’s topsoils are tested to BS 3882:2015 standards, which ensure the correct pH level, an ideal physical composition, appropriate electrical conductivity, and the maximum permitted stone content. None of their soil products contains recycled or by-product materials, so customers can have total confidence that the product is safe for the environment and free from contaminants.

Turffit’s topsoil range, including Screened Topsoil and Rootzone, is available in bulk bags for delivery. Their Screened Bedding Soil is also available in 25kg bags, though this option is for collection only. For larger orders, it’s worth calling the team directly to discuss the most suitable and cost-effective delivery format for your project.

You can order online for delivery to postcodes KY, FK, DD, EH, ML, G, and PH1–PH14 across Scotland. For other postcode areas, you can call the office on 01592 869000 to arrange a competitive delivery quote. For orders received before 12 noon, Turffit offers next-working-day delivery nationwide.

The amount of topsoil you need depends on the area and the required depth. As a general rule, for lawn turfing with Rootzone, a depth of 100–150mm is recommended. For garden beds, 200–300mm may be needed. Turffit’s knowledgeable team is happy to advise that they can help you order accurately based on your plans, soil conditions, and budget.

Turf, Soil, and Bark are delivered with no added extras for delivery or a designated day. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the order date is confirmed once the order is processed. For more specific scheduling requirements, it’s best to contact the Turffit team directly on 01592 869000 to discuss available options.

Turffit topsoils are “bunded” (stored) to allow soil-borne pests to disappear, a process that can take up to five years. They contain absolutely no recycled materials, eliminating the risk of glass, food waste, or sharps like nails and wood. All soils are regularly tested in accordance with BS 3882:2015, covering pH, physical composition, electrical conductivity, and stone content.

Yes, the collection is available. Turffit’s Screened Bedding Soil in 25kg bags is available for collection only. Customers have previously collected products directly from Turffit’s base at Scotlandwell. If you’re considering collection for bulk quantities, it’s advisable to contact the team on 01592 869000 to confirm availability, arrange a suitable time, and ensure you have the right vehicle for the load.

Turffit supplies Screened Topsoil for bedding and deeper garden areas, and Rootzone, a sandy loam mix with organic content and good drainage, specifically for turfing and seeding. The Screened Bedding Soil is not suitable for seeding a lawn. If you have a specialist project, such as a wildflower meadow needing low-nutrient soil, Turffit can recommend or custom-mix a solution to suit.

If you can’t use your topsoil straight away, store it on a hard, flat surface away from drains to prevent runoff. Cover it with a breathable tarp to protect it from heavy rain and weed seeds while allowing airflow. Avoid compacting it into a deep pile. Turffit’s soils contain no recycled waste or contaminants, so properly stored, they’ll remain in excellent condition until you’re ready to use them.
