VIRGIN LOAMY SAND TOP SOIL

Product Information

Virgin Loamy Sand is ideal for backfilling, anywhere deep areas need to be filled without organic matter. Use the Virgin Loamy Sand to amend organic matter like compost to make your own soil mix composition.

Often, Loamy Sand is referred to as Topsoil, however, this is a misnomer. Topsoil is the top several inches of the soil that is comprised of the parent rock material and organic matter that has broken down over time. If the topsoil comes from a flood plain, it will also include additional clays and silts that have been carried down through rainwater.

Topsoil is not something that is readily available for purchase today. When you purchase topsoil, you are purchasing a combination of sand, silt, and clay which goes by the names of Sandy Loam, Loamy Sand, or Sandy Clay Loam depending on the percentage of sand, silt, and clay in the soil. These soils will contain very little organic matter. The soil will either be recycled material from construction sites or extracted from soil pits or hillsides. Lyngso’s Virgin Loamy Sand comes from a hillside excavation, therefore, is not a recycled material and the rating varies from a Loamy Sand to a Sandy Loam classification with some percentage of clay content.
