Why Good Top Soil Is So Important

Our area of north central Wisconsin is not noted for its great top soil. Yet great lawns require great soil. Most of the topsoil in the area is acidic and very low in organic matter, which is what holds the nutrients, microbes, and moisture that plants need to grow healthy and be durable. In short, its usually rather poor stuff for growing grass.

Its not practical to do soil testing of delivered topsoil, as then its too late, and testing at the source is not practical either. The one week time lag in soil testing means the soil you tested is not the soil that will be delivered.

As the sources for topsoil can vary from week to week, even from the same suppliers, its impossible to have a reliable source of consistency and high quality, except for one source; Mark's Bobcat Service! We have found a predictably reliable source of consistently very high quality, near neutral PH, nutrient dense, all organic topsoil that they supply for all of our lawns in a given delivery area.

Unfortunately trucking fees associated with longer travel distances from the source of this excellent topsoil may make it unavailable to some distant areas.

This special topsoil grows the finest healthiest lawns you have ever seen. Its simple micro-biology; poor soil = poor grass, great rich topsoil = great grass. Just ask any farmer or gardener about the importance of high quality topsoil. The same applies to lawns.

Its a fact; all dirt is not equal. All dirt will not grow satisfactory, long lasting, healthy lawns. Plant your new lawn in great topsoil and get a great, easy to care for lawn.
