Add Topsoil and Mulch to Improve Your Sod or Seed Landscaping

22nd January 2016

To get the best results from your purchase of Superior Sod products, you will also need sufficient quantities of high-quality topsoil and mulch.

Topsoil
Topsoil is used to level out uneven ground or to add extra nutrients to the soil prior to planting. The topsoil we can order or deliver for your landscaping project comes from our partner, Mr. Parker. He produces a certified compost mix comprised of 15 percent turkey compost, black dirt and sand. The product is then heated so it can be certified weed seed free.

Without that topsoil, it can be difficult for seeds to germinate into thick, healthy grass. It also makes the lawn look more beautiful and manicured by leveling out any natural hollows or dips in the grass, which simplifies the process of laying out sod. We carry a full selection of topsoil at our farm terminal in Ogden, or we can deliver it right to your door.

Mulch
We can also provide you with a layer of mulch, which adds extra compost and nutrients to the soil. It makes a lovely border for the edges of your project, where it intersects with trees, bushes and walkways and protects topsoil from being blown away or eroded by the wind and rain.

At Superior Sod, you can buy several varieties of mulch to protect your topsoil and provided added nutrients for your plants and trees. They are all triple shredded and free from debris or foreign byproducts. We can deliver many colors and styles of mulch including:

Hardwood: Typically is made from a hardwood, such as oak. It provides a natural windbreak which prevents soil erosion for pathways, slopes, and steep banks.
Chocolate brown: A hardwood mulch that has been dyed to a chocolate brown color. The dye is guaranteed to last for a year or more.
Superior red: A vibrant red color made from non-toxic dye, it provides a splash of interest to any landscaping design.

Mulch and topsoil look great and are an important step in designing your new yard-scape. To put mulch or topsoil down before your next seeding or sodding project, you can stop by and load up anything from a bucketful to a truck full. If you prefer, we will deliver the mulch and topsoil orders directly to your site.
