What Customers Are Saying

The Timberline top soil product has variable quality, with some customers reporting a decent soil mix suitable for basic landscaping, while others describe it as containing an excessive amount of wood chips, sticks, rocks, and other non-soil debris. The main issues include highly variable composition, presence of large rocks and sticks, poor drainage and clumping when wet, and lack of nutrients, making it unsuitable for growing grass or plants. Customers recommend using this product only for basic fill dirt or stabilization purposes, and mixing it with compost or other soil amendments before use.

Perfectly Priced

Would Recommend

The price per bag was perfect for trying to secretly redo my mother's garden for mother's day! (She caught me so it's not a secret anymore! Lol)

You get what you pay for

Would Recommend

Generally good product for the price. However, out of a dozen bags one was over 50% sand and another was 75% wood chips.

Good dirt, easy to spread. Not clumpy. Used it to fill in low spots and erosion on my lawn. Takes grass seed well.

It’s mulched not top soil

Would Not Recommend

This is not top soil at all. It’s 75% mulch. All 6 bags were exactly the same. I used this for lawn seeding. What a disaster! Lowe’s needs to refund every customer who bought this fake topsoil. It should be removed off their shelves immediately. Bad business Lowes executive management!
