Red Topsoil

Red topsoil is a nutrient-rich, naturally colored soil prized for its distinctive reddish hue, which comes from a high iron oxide content. This material is typically sourced from the uppermost layer of earth, where organic matter and minerals are most concentrated, making it ideal for supporting healthy plant growth.

The vibrant red color not only adds visual appeal to landscaping projects but also indicates a well-draining soil structure, which helps prevent waterlogging around roots. Red topsoil is commonly used in residential and commercial landscaping, garden beds, lawn installations, and as a base for sod. Its organic content supports robust root development, while the color can enhance the aesthetics of flower beds and public spaces. While red topsoil is excellent for most planting applications, it may require blending with compost or sand for specific plant needs or to improve drainage in heavy clay areas.
