topsoil-torontoDo you have an upcoming landscaping project for your home or business? If so, there are a few things it will most likely call for. There will be tools like shovels, of course, and maybe even heavy machinery, depending on how ambitious you’re getting. You’ll also need various plants, soils and aggregates.

However, one thing every project absolutely must have is topsoil. Toronto homes and gardens usually have topsoil for their first couple feet before the earth’s surface. This is the way nature intended it. Even in areas where humans haven’t interfered, you’ll find a good few feet of soil that is made up of clay, sand, organic matter and other ingredients. Throughout this topsoil, there are also pockets of various gases and water. Of course, it took thousands upon thousands of years for Mother Nature to create this soil by hand. Fortunately, if you call Essential Garden Supplies, they’ll have Toronto topsoil you can purchase and apply in no time at all.

What you can’t do is go without topsoil. Experts have long known that this important form of soil is essential for nutrient retention. It’s porous enough that water and gas can seep through, but also good for retaining it. Your vegetation can then make use of these nutrients for healthy growth.

At the same time, this soil defends against the risk of erosion. Without topsoil, wind and rain won’t threaten to strip nutrients from your yard, starving the vegetation.

Now that you understand just how important topsoil is, it’s a good idea to call (416) 853-3000 so the team at Essential Garden Supplies can help you get your hands on some at a great price.
