Premium Ultra Fine Soil – Double-Screened Garden & Planting Mix for Windsor-Essex

Premium ultra fine soil is a double-screened, finely processed garden soil blend designed for applications where standard screened topsoil is too coarse. Where regular topsoil is screened to remove large rocks and debris, ultra fine soil goes through an additional screening process that removes smaller stones, root fragments, and clumps — leaving a consistently smooth, dark, nutrient-rich growing medium.

The result is a soil with a texture closer to potting mix than field topsoil. It holds moisture evenly, allows roots to penetrate easily, and blends seamlessly with existing garden beds without creating pockets of different soil density.

When Ultra Fine Matters

Standard screened topsoil works well for filling, grading, and general landscaping. Ultra fine soil is the better choice when you need consistent particle size and workability — particularly for seed establishment, raised bed filling, and garden renovation where you are planting directly into the new soil rather than just building grade. The finer texture also makes it significantly easier to spread and level by hand.

Key Applications

• Raised Garden Beds: The ideal fill for raised vegetable and flower beds. Fine texture promotes even root growth and makes planting and transplanting easy. Mix with compost at a 70/30 ratio for optimal growing conditions.
• Lawn Renovation & Overseeding: Spread 1/4 to 1/2 inch over existing lawn before overseeding. The fine particles make excellent seed-to-soil contact, dramatically improving germination rates compared to coarser topsoil.
• Flower Beds & Perennial Gardens: Top-dress existing beds or fill new ones. The dark colour and fine consistency create a clean, professional-looking planting surface.
• Sod Preparation: Level and smooth the final grade before laying sod. Ultra fine soil fills minor depressions better than standard topsoil, reducing bumps in your finished lawn.
• Container & Planter Fill: Works as a base component for custom container mixes. Blend with perlite and compost for planters and window boxes.

Important Note

Because ultra fine soil is more finely processed, it can compact more readily than standard topsoil when walked on or saturated. For garden beds, avoid working the soil when wet — wait until it crumbles freely in your hand. For areas with heavy foot traffic or poor drainage, standard screened topsoil is the more practical choice. Store unused soil in a dry area; the fine particles will absorb water quickly if left exposed to rain.
