Topsoil is the top layer of soil on the Earths crust. Here in New England it has formed from the underlying rock and sand deposited from glacial times. It has been formed over many years by the natural accumulation of organic material and plowing if the area was farmed. The value is in being a growing medium with good water retention, texture, PH and ability to supply nutrients to the plants growing in it. In many situations it can be up to 5-12 inches thick. In other places with development the topsoil may have been stripped off leaving very little of the original loam like soil.

Loam is often used in the same context as topsoil but the technical definition of loam refers to a specific texture. This texture is the result of the combined amounts of sand, silt and clay that makes up most soils. The name does not imply any nutrient content or organic material being in it. We only bring this up in that the material we sell is often referred to as loam and it does have organic content. Stop by to get a sample or purchase our high quality loam or topsoil for sale.
