Soils, Fill, Screened Compost and Loam/Top Soil Product Details

What is it? Soil is a product that has been excavated. There are many types of soils and soil types will vary based on what soil type was excavated. It can include soils that are loamy and more organic, sandy or rocky.

How is it made? If it is called screened or processed, then it is has been manufactured by being put through a screener. Fill is generally just excavated material being sold as is and the material type will vary.

Is the size accurate? Screener screens have a square pattern to them. If the material is smaller than the screen size in one direction then it will fit through the screen. For example. If loam or compost is being made and it is going through a 5/8″ screen then any product smaller than 5/8″ in any direction and that same piece is larger than 5/8″ in any direction, it will fit through the screen. Therefore it is common to see material larger than the screen size in the product.

How to choose the right material? Some soils can be used for multiple applications, but some applications will require specific materials. It is important to read the descriptions of the materials below to select the right product for your project.

What is the difference between loam and topsoil?
Loam and topsoil are often used interchangeably, but there’s a key difference. Topsoil refers to the top layer of soil, typically rich in organic matter, while loam describes a specific soil texture with a balanced mix of sand, silt, and clay. Loam is considered ideal for gardening due to its excellent drainage and nutrient retention, but not all topsoil is loam.
