Leader lawn soil for creating and restoring turf — fast drainage and stable structure.
TopSoil is the Leader soil specific to dense, resilient lawns. The balanced blend of blonde peat, brown peat, wood fiber, sand, and base fertiliser ensures fast drainage and uniform turf growth.
Features
TopSoil creates dense, resilient lawns even in compacted soil or after heavy foot traffic. The blend combines blonde peat, brown peat, wood fiber, sand, and a base fertiliser. This composition gives the soil a stable structure over time.
Sand prevents waterlogging even after heavy rain, keeping roots well-oxygenated. Brown peat stabilises soil aggregation and improves controlled water retention. The integrated fertiliser supports uniform turf growth during the first months.
Use TopSoil for creating new lawns (seedbed preparation) and for restoring existing lawns that show reduced density or bare patches. Suitable for annual spring reinforcement and for targeted repairs. Packaged in Italy with selected peat from the Baltic countries, batch after batch.
Why choose it
- Fast drainage: roots stay oxygenated even in clay soils, with no waterlogging after heavy rain.
