Quick answer

Under Turf Soil is a rich, matured organic soil base designed specifically for laying new turf. It is lighter and easier to work than dense soils, so it spreads, levels and compacts easily by hand or machine. Its light texture drains well while holding essential nutrients, and organic elements retain moisture to reduce watering. Lay about 100–150mm under new turf.

About the product

Built for new turf

All new turf requires soil to embed its roots into to establish fast effortless growth. Under turf soil is a rich organic soil base that has matured and designed specifically for laying turf over. It is significantly lighter and easier to work with compared to more dense soils, making it a breeze to level both by machinery or by hand. Whether you’re a professional landscaper or a DIY enthusiast, this soil simplifies the process of preparing the perfect turf base.

One of the key attributes of our soil is its light texture, which promotes excellent drainage while still holding onto essential nutrients. Proper drainage is crucial for healthy turf development, as it ensures water flows efficiently through the soil without creating waterlogging, which can damage the roots.

Our soil is designed to provide the optimal balance of air, water, and nutrients, which encourages healthy root establishment and growth. Organic elements in the soil help retain moisture, reduce the need for frequent watering, and provide a natural nutrient supply to your turf, keeping it healthy and lush.
