Benefits of Using Topsoil
Quality topsoil is the foundation of any successful garden. We sell some of the finest topsoil available in Britain today.
Our topsoil is top quality and nutrient-rich, perfect for lawns, gardens and flower beds. Every bag combines minerals with organic matter in a balanced way to encourage robust plant development and good root growth.
Our topsoil is unique in part due to its well-balanced soil structure. It drains naturally whilst retaining enough moisture to let roots effectively reach deep into the ground.
Gardeners love our topsoil for its versatility for turfing, seeding and planting. Whether you’re laying new turf, sowing seeds or transplanting, our topsoil is the foundation for success.
The fine, consistent texture of our topsoil is perfect for creating beautiful flower beds and borders. It’s easy to work with, so you can shape your garden design exactly how you want, and your flowering plants will produce plenty of blooming flowers.

Creating Beautiful Flower Beds with Topsoil
Turn your garden into an outdoor oasis with Valley Contractors’ topsoil. It’s the perfect base for flower beds and borders that will wow your neighbours and bring you joy all year round.
Start by preparing the site. Clear the area of weeds and debris, then spread a layer of our topsoil to a depth of at least 150mm. For even better drainage and soil structure, mix in some sand. This depth gives plants room to develop strong root systems so they establish quickly and thrive for years to come.
The secret to beautiful flower beds is choosing the right plants. Pick a mix of flowers, shrubs and maybe even small ornamental trees to create interest and year-round appeal. Combine plants with different flowering times to have colour all year round, and mix different heights and textures for a professional look.
Beyond the beds, our topsoil is great for laying lawns that provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation and entertaining. Our Lawn Lay Topsoil creates a perfect seedbed for new grass or the perfect base for laying turf, resulting in a healthy, lush lawn that can handle wear and tear.
To finish off your flower beds, consider adding a layer of mulch or decorative stones as a final layer. This adds to the aesthetics of your garden and provides practical benefits like moisture retention and weed suppression.
We have a range of decorative gravels, slate and chippings to suit any style of garden, from modern minimalism to traditional cottage gardens.
With Valley Contractors’ topsoil and decorative aggregates you have everything you need to create a garden that’s beautiful and practical – an extension of your home where memories are made.
Tips for Successful Gardening with Topsoil
Good soil is the foundation of great gardening. Valley Contractors’ premium topsoil gives you the perfect start for any garden project.
Before you begin:
- Clear away all weeds, rocks and rubbish
- Loosen existing soil to 15-20cm deep
- Add one of our premium topsoil products
Want fewer weeds? Add mulch or landscape fabric after your topsoil. This simple step saves hours of weeding later.
Water wisely. Our topsoil holds moisture well, but plants need regular watering during dry spells and when first planted. Water deeply but less often to encourage deep roots. Always check the soil before watering to avoid drowning your plants.
For extra plant power, add our PAS100-certified organic compost or a good fertiliser. This helps hungry plants like vegetables and flowering annuals that need extra nutrients.
Planning a big garden makeover? Our bulk bag topsoil makes large projects affordable. Whether you’re building raised beds or redesigning your whole garden, we have enough high-quality soil to complete your project. The result? A beautiful outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.
