Topsoil is a type of soil that is commonly used in gardening and agriculture. It is the uppermost layer of soil on Earth, which can be 4 to 12 inches in depth. Topsoil is rich in organic matter that holds moisture and nutrients for healthy plant growth. Here are some of the common uses of topsoil:

• Filling raised beds: Topsoil is a good choice for filling up raised beds.
• Repairing eroded spots: Topsoil can be used to repair eroded spots in the lawn.
• Filling in holes: Topsoil can be used to fill in holes in the lawn.
• Planting a new lawn: Topsoil can be used as a base layer for sod or seed installation.
• Overseeding a lawn: Topsoil can be used to top-dress damaged areas.
• New builds: Topsoil can be used for new builds like new lawns, new garden beds, or replacing a previously paved area with plants.
• Areas affected by soil erosion: Topsoil can be used in areas affected by soil erosion.
• Damaged and heavily used areas of lawns: Topsoil can be used to care for damaged and heavily used areas of lawns.

It is important to note that topsoil on its own is not a great growing medium. It can be quite compacted and hinder root development. However, it can be mixed with compost or manure to help plants thrive. Garden soil is another type of soil that is similar to topsoil but has extra organic matter mixed in, like compost, peat, bark shredding, or fertilizer. Garden soil is ready to use in the garden, while topsoil is best used wherever soil is lacking.
