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.

Looks Rich, You Decide

It looks dark and rich, but when I use it, it seems that grass does not want to grow in it. It takes a long season of rain and weather to allow grass to grow in it. I am not certain why that is.

Dry, rocky and debris - do not buy

Would Not Recommend

Horrible top soil … filled with rocks, debris and sticks. What little soil there was was clearly very dry. We bought this in addition to another cheaper brand and the other topsoil was clearly superior and stayed dark and dry for days longer than this one too.. disappointing I may have added more rocks and crap to my yard after spending hours cleaning it up…
