Our Garden Blend Topsoil is a mixture of 20% compost and 80% screened loam. This very specific mixture is the perfect balance of compost and topsoil, any more compost could potentially burn up seeds put in the product, any less compost would mean less fertilizer to aid in growth and prosperity of your plants.

Our compost is a product of cow manure “plus humus”. Composed of high organic matter, this compost is ideal for plants – providing them with a storehouse of nutrients. Compost will change marginally performing soil to fertile, rich soil and is an excellent organic soil conditioner.

The topsoil (also known as loam) that Gorham Sand & Gravel uses comes from our job-sites where it is screened by our loader operators and mixed with the compost. The end product is what becomes our Garden Blend Topsoil. Because of the fertilizer it is an excellent growing component for your gardens, lawns or any other kind of plant growing needs you may have.
