Why Top Soil and Mulch are Essential for Healthy Gardens & Landscapes
Gardening and landscaping are not just about planting and watering. Two key components that play a significant role in the health and appearance of your garden are topsoil and mulch. Here at Mainland Aggregates, we understand the importance of these materials and offer a wide range to suit both commercial landscaping and domestic gardens.
Topsoil: The Foundation of a Thriving Garden
Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil and is crucial for any gardening or landscaping project. Whether you are making raised beds, filling low spots in lawns, or dealing with poor or non-existent natural soil, topsoil is your go-to solution.
Our general-purpose topsoil is a screened topsoil, rich in nutrients and high in microbial activity, promoting the growth and health of plants and grasses. Additionally, our Rotted Horse Manure may be right for you if you’re looking for a wide range of essential elements to plant growth. If you want to focus on drainage or Alpine Gardens, our 1-4mm Horticultural Grit is also a great option.
Complying with British Standard BS3882:2007, our topsoil ensures the highest quality in terms of nutrient content, handling, and preparation. Free from large stones and debris, it is easy to work with, making it an ideal choice for both professionals and home gardeners. Topsoil not only enriches soil nutrients but also improves drainage and creates a better soil texture, setting the foundation for a lush and vibrant garden.
Mulch: The Protective Layer
Mulch, on the other hand, is about protection and enhancement. Consisting of materials like bark, decaying leaves, wood chips, compost, and plant debris, mulch is spread over and around plants to protect the bare soil from erosion and retain moisture. This is particularly important during dry periods, as it helps to lock in the moisture that plants need to thrive.
Beyond its practical benefits, mulch is also a great tool for suppressing weed growth, enhancing the look of garden beds, and assisting in the growth of plants. Our selection of garden mulch, including cockle shell mulch, premium pine bark, landscape bark, and play bark, offers a variety of options to meet your gardening needs.
