Q: Isn't Topsoil and Fill dirt the same thing?

 

A: NO! Fill dirt contains many organics such as large rocks and tree roots.

This should only be used for filling voids such as old swimming pools or dried lake beds.

The salt content of fill dirt will not allow any vegetation to grow.

Topsoil, on the other hand, is ph balanced, screened and contains a maximum organic content of

13%. Topsoil is ideal for gardens, flower beds or lawns.
