Great gardens start with great soil. Royce Turf, supplying Surrey and Guildford since 1989, provides screened, certified topsoil and premium turf — backed by soil science, not sales talk.
Why Soil Quality Determines Everything
- Texture: Sandy loam (40% sand, 40% silt, 20% clay) = drains, holds water, resists compaction.
- Organic matter: 5–8% = microbial life, nutrient cycling, moisture buffer.
- pH 6.2–6.8: Nutrients available; locks out aluminum/manganese toxicity.
- Stone-free (≤ 20 mm): No root impedance, clean mowing.
Royce's topsoil is sourced from prime agricultural land, screened to 10 mm, tested per BS 3882:2015. Certificates on request.
Supply Options
- Bulk loose tipped: 18–20 t articulated tipper (≈13 m³) — best £/m³ for large areas.
- Bulk bags: 0.75 m³ or 1 m³ tote bags — crane/hiab offload, no mess, storable.
- Collected: Bring your trailer/tipper to Chobham depot — weighbridge ticketed.

Soil Improvement — Beyond Topsoil
- Organic soil conditioner (PAS 100 compost): 50 mm incorporated → +3% OM, +CEC.
- Mulch (bark, woodchip, strulch): 75 mm on beds — suppresses weeds, feeds soil.
- Lawn topdressing (70/30 sand/loam): Annual 3–5 mm → smooths, dilutes thatch, improves drainage.
