Soil (Unscreened)
Applications & Uses
Unscreened Soil
Unscreened soil is a natural, unprocessed earth material that has not been sifted to remove rocks, roots, or debris. This means it retains its original composition straight from the ground, making it a cost-effective option for large-scale fill and grading projects where soil purity and texture are less critical.
The lack of screening means unscreened soil may contain clumps, stones, and organic material, which can affect compaction and uniformity. While this makes it less suitable for topdressing lawns or planting beds, it is ideal for backfilling, raising ground levels, or filling in low spots on construction sites. Its affordability and availability make it a popular choice for contractors and property owners needing bulk fill material. However, for applications requiring a smooth, consistent finish or for planting, screened soil is recommended.
