Sub Soil or Top Soil Delivery: What's The Difference?

When operating a construction project, you must have all of the required materials in the quantities that you need. Without a reliable source of aggregates, timber and soil, you’ll hit snags and delays in your project. It’s also essential that you have the correct materials delivered to you. Here, we take a look at subsoil and topsoil and which type of soil delivery you will need for your project.


What is Topsoil Used For?


Topsoil is a more aerated form of soil which is highly fertile and rich in organic matter. Insects thrive in topsoil, creating a nutrient-rich environment for plants, vegetables and flowers to grow. Topsoil is used as a material to create a base for turf, flower beds and borders. Topsoil is often used for landscaping projects and garden renovations.


Subsoil 


Subsoil, as you may have guessed, is the layer of soil which is located underneath the surface layer of topsoil. This layer of soil is enriched with more iron and aluminium minerals than topsoil and is less fertile, however, it remains a vital nutritional resource for plants when roots delve deeper. Subsoil holds much more water and less air than topsoil is sticky in consistency and partly made of clay. As subsoil holds more water and is a dense material, it is popular for use in the construction industry.


Why Invest in Soil Delivery?


If you’re operating a construction project which will require wither subsoil or topsoil, it’s always worth seeking reliable soil delivery services. By having soil delivered, you can ensure that you have all of the materials required in the quantities you need.
