What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this topsoil for its affordability and effectiveness in lawn repair and leveling. Most highlight the low cost as a major advantage, enabling large projects without budget strain. Reviewers report rapid grass seed sprouting within days and note it spreads easily and settles well after rain. While some mention the soil is dense, moist, and occasionally contains small stones or wood fragments, most accept these as normal for budget topsoil. A few report excessive moisture or poor drainage for containers, but overall customers find it highly functional and recommend it for filling, leveling, and seeding applications.

Organic gardner ...

Would Not Recommend

The product is unnecessarily packed with too much water and the raw soil is too 'clay like' to use for deep [over 1/2"-3/4"] applications.

Product was denser than anticipated but when mixed 3 to 1 with peat moss became very decent planting soil.

Horrible

Would Not Recommend

Horrible. The mulch is supposed to be shredded it just a bag of sticks. Ordered 50 bags. Still have over 30 that look like black sticks. Neighbors are upset also.

Decent topsoil

Would Recommend

Contained “dirt” as expected. A little bit of wood chips/mulch, but not enough to be concerned about. I used it mostly as fill, so not sure how fertile it is for growing grass or other plants.

Worked for me

Would Recommend

I bought ten bags. All the bags were dark soil with little to no rocks or mulch like substances. I needed to fix edging along a newly paved driveway. After putting it down and raking in some premixed grass seed with fertilizer, I have 1/2 inch sprouts within 7 days.

My empire of dirt

It's exactly as described, 40 pounds of topsoil. Great for filling bare spots in the yard and planting new seed.
