What is 5mm Twice Screened Recycled Soil?
This soil is made from recycled earth diverted from landfill, screened twice through a 5mm mesh to remove large clumps, rubble, and oversized debris. It provides a finer texture than our standard 10mm version, making it easier to level and spread — ideal for general garden use, turf preparation, or filling low spots.
Common Uses:
Turf Preparation: A cost-effective sub-base for laying new turf.
Levelling & Filling: Ideal for raising levels, filling holes, or reshaping garden areas.
General Landscaping: Suitable for non-decorative beds or areas that will be covered.
Garden Renovation Projects: Perfect where appearance or soil fertility is not a key concern.
Benefits:
Budget-Friendly: A practical alternative to premium topsoil for large garden projects.
5mm Screening: Finer and more workable than typical recycled soils.
Eco-Conscious: Reduces landfill waste by repurposing clean recycled earth.
Versatile: Can be used across a variety of non-planting garden tasks.
Important Disclaimer:
This product is made from recycled earth. While care has been taken to screen the soil, small pieces of debris or stones may still be present, and colour/texture may vary by batch. Not recommended for vegetable beds or high-spec planting.
Coverage Guidance:
One tonne typically covers:
10–12 m² at a depth of 50mm
5–6 m² at a depth of 100mm
Apply in layers and rake level for best results.
