Our soils are derived from prime arable land and are only despatched after it has been conditioned for 2 to 3 years.
The soil is screened to remove lumps and over-sized stones.
Bulk loads of screened loam are stored under cover which enables Rolawn to supply large volumes of workable topsoil, regardless of weather conditions.
The new British Standard for Topsoil (BS3882:2007) stipulates that soil suppliers must ensure testing is undertaken every 5000 cubic metres. Rolawn's sampling protocol is already in place to comply with these requirements due to take effect in late 2007. Samples are tested to establish textural classification (percentage of sand, silt and clay), pH & salinity values, PTE levels, stone content, nutrient levels and organic content.
The screened topsoil is blended with a peat-free soil conditioner in our purpose built topsoil blending and bagging plant.
Bulk (loose) loads of top soil are delivered in rigid or articulated tipper vehicles in load sizes from 10 tonnes to 29 tonnes.
Blended Loam can also be delivered using a walking-floor vehicle where there are height restrictions on site.
Rolawn topsoils are also available in tote bags (dumpy/builders bags) and 20kg bags.
