Ottawa’s Best Topsoil

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

Ornamental Pond Stone 6" – 14"

Ornamental Pond Stone is the essence of a natural-looking pond. Without decorative Pond Stone, your pond might look closer to a small pool rather than a pond.

With a mix of red, gray, green, white, black, and blue stones that could be considered small boulders, Ornamental Pond Stone will give so much depth to your pond and the overall landscape.

There are a variety of different and creative ways to use Ornamental Pond Stone; for example, it can be used as a standalone decorative piece or even a walkway to the pond. When it comes to the Ornamental Pond Stone, creativity is your only limit!

How to Use Ornamental Pond Stone

  • The primary use for Ornamental Pond Stone is as pond beds. The stones soaked in water have a very unique look, especially under sunlight. Another fantastic benefit is that you can easily plant various plants between the rocks for a fresh new look.
  • Ornamental Pond Stones are perfect for holding and guiding water into a small, rapid stream. That’s because they’re essentially small boulders, and stacked on top of each other, they’ll be able to withstand the pressure of the water.
  • Ornamental Pond Stone isn’t only decoration for large aquariums and small fish ponds. Because of the helpful bacteria that grow on the stones, they will help keep fish, turtles, and other water animals happy and healthy.
  • Bordering paths and walkways or simply stacking Ornament Pond Stone can add depth and uniqueness to your landscape. Be as creative as you want!

How to Build a Pond With Ornamental Pond Stone

First, you’ll have to find a good spot for your pond, measure out the hole and put it to paper, or visualize it in your hand.

Decide whether you’re going to use Ornamental Pond Stone exclusively or mix it with pebbles, gravel, or other types of stone; if you need help choosing the stone, Greely Sand & Stone can help you decide.

Please Note:  These are large stones/boulders.  You must view the Ornamental Pond Stone in person before ordering by telephone or in person.
