When it comes to landscaping success in Alabama, one factor makes all the difference: the soil. Whether you’re planting flowers, laying sod, or building out a garden bed, the foundation you use will determine how well everything grows and lasts. At High Country Landscape Supply, we offer a carefully selected range of soils and sands to help local homeowners, contractors, and landscapers get the job done right.
Let’s break down the options and how to choose the best soil for your specific project.
Screened Top Soil: A Versatile Classic
Our Screened Top Soil is a go-to solution for general-purpose landscaping. It’s free from large rocks and debris, making it ideal for leveling your yard, creating raised beds, or prepping areas for sod or seed.
Best for:
- Leveling uneven areas in your lawn
- Prepping flower beds or garden plots
- Laying new sod
- Mixing with compost for added nutrients
Because it’s screened, it offers better consistency and easier spreading than raw fill dirt or unscreened materials. Think of it as the blank canvas for your landscaping masterpiece.
White Masonry Sand: More Than Just for Bricks
Our White Masonry Sand is a clean, fine-grade sand often used for mortar, but it’s also great for more than just hardscaping. Customers love it for use in children’s sandboxes, under pavers, or even as a soil conditioner when mixed in with clay-heavy Alabama soil to improve drainage.
Best for:
- Paver base and leveling sand
- Mortar and masonry projects
- Soil drainage improvement
- Sandboxes or play areas
It’s soft to the touch, clean in appearance, and easy to work with.
Premium Garden Soil: A Nutrient-Rich Boost
The Premium High Country Landscape Supply Garden Soil is a step above your average dirt. It’s rich, dark, and full of organic matter — perfect for flower beds, vegetable gardens, and raised planters. If you’re starting a new garden or reviving old beds, this is the soil you want.
Best for:
- Vegetable gardens
- Flower beds and containers
- Raised garden beds
- Seasonal replanting and soil refresh
This soil holds moisture well while still offering proper drainage, helping your plants thrive in every season.
What About Fill Dirt and Compost?
While we don’t currently list fill dirt or compost blends, here’s how they’re typically used:
- Fill dirt is unscreened soil used to fill holes, raise land elevation, or build up areas before applying topsoil. It’s not ideal for planting.
- Compost is decomposed organic matter used to boost the nutrient content of soil. It can be added to our screened topsoil or garden mix for even better results.
If you’re not sure what blend is best for your needs, our team is happy to help you customize a solution.
