Top Soiling And Site Preparation | Heggie Maintenance Service Pty Ltd utilises top soil for site preparation for the most effective method of providing a suitable growth medium. Our top soiling methods increase the success rate of sites that are to be disturbed by excavation and areas unsuitable for plant growth.
 

Heggie Maintenance Service Pty Ltd highly recommends top soiling and site preparation during landscape construction, landscape installation and landscape maintenance. Top soiling is the spreading of top soil of a suitable quality over an area to be estabilished by vegetation and increases the success of establishment and performance.

Top soil is the surface layer of the natural soil profile, general characterised as being darker than the subsoil due to the presence of organic matter. It is the major zone of root development, containing nutrients available to plants and supplying a large amount of water to plants.

 
 

Heggie Maintenance Service Pty Ltd applies top soiling practices to sites that are to be disturbed by excavation, compaction or filling and to other areas where the subsoil is unsuitable for plant growth.

Heggie Maintenance Service Pty Ltd applies top soiling to the following situations:

  • Where the use of top soil is determined to be the most effective method of providing a suitable growth medium
  • Where high-quality turf is desired to withstand intensive use or meet aesthetic requirements
  • Where the subsoil’s texture, pH, or nutrient balance of the available soil cannot be modified by reasonable means to provide an adequate growth medium (for example, sands, gravels and clays)
  • The subsoil material is too shallow to provide an adequate root zone and to supply necessary moisture and nutrients for plant growth
  • The subsoil contains substances potentially toxic to plant growth
  • On slopes that are 2 to 1 (2 horizontally to 1 vertically) or flatter
