The Best Topsoil in Ottawa for Beautiful Lawns and Gardens

Anyone lucky enough to have a yard or garden will know it takes some maintenance and care to keep it looking its best. Fortunately, there are many products out there which can help. Adding topsoil to your garden and lawn is one of the easiest and most effective ways to encourage growth and keep your plants, grass and trees healthy.

Topsoil provides the nutrients and minerals your plants, vegetables and shrubs need to flourish and grow into healthy, happy plants. Healthy topsoil is essential to creating lush, vibrant lawns and gardens that are the envy of the neighbourhood. Get your garden off to the best start by choosing Greely’s high-quality topsoil. Our topsoil is carefully screened and composed of the richest organic matter to encourage the lush growth of your plants and lawn.

Greely’s Topdressing Soil™ is the perfect mix for gardening! Our proprietary blend of topsoil, mushroom compost, and black peat can be used for a variety of purposes – use it when creating new gardens or flower beds, topdressing lawns, planting trees and shrubs, or rejuvenating existing gardens and flower beds. Greely’s Topdressing Soil™ is also approved for use in organic growing, for the ultimate in pesticide-free lawns, gardens, fruits and vegetables.

Greely’s Screened Topsoil makes a great base for your raised planters, seeding new lawns or fresh sod. This screened topsoil has been enhanced with humus peat to increase water retention, something your plants will thank you for. We screen our topsoil to eliminate clumps and debris, encouraging better root growth. It is said that screened soil makes trees grow taller & fuller, and fruit & vegetables will produce more fruit.

What is Topsoil Used For?

Topsoil is an important soil layer used in many gardens and landscapes. It provides plants with the necessary nutrients, minerals, and oxygen to help them grow and thrive. Topsoil also helps with drainage, retaining water and moisture for plants, and providing the necessary environment for microorganisms to survive. Topsoil is also essential for controlling a garden or landscape’s temperature and humidity levels, ensuring plants get the conditions they need. Topsoil can also be used as a natural mulch or cover material to protect soil and plants from erosion.

  • Topdressing lawns
  • A nutrient-packed base for new gardens, flowerbeds, seeding and fresh sod
  • A great boost of nutrition in existing soil and gardens
  • A healthy home for valuable microorganisms
