Ordering Soil
The right soil for your project is available at the click of a button. Simply collect the container depth, length and width information for your planter or garden boxes, then utilize our Volume Calculator to get an accurate estimate on how much soil you will need! We recommend 3-4 inches of soil depth for open landscaped areas once the grade has been reached. This will provide ample coverage while providing a healthy environment for your sod and shrubbery. Our bulk soils are available for pickup at our Cochrane, or Calgary locations. We can also deliver bulk products right to your site. When ordering in the CLS Landscape Bag, we use increments of 0.5 Cubic Yards, with one full bag equalling 1 Cubic Yard. Check out our Delivery FAQ page for more details.

Soil Mix Components 
Loam is a medium-textured soil composed of almost equal parts sand and silt, with just a little less clay. Sand provides aeration and drainage, while the clay is high in nutrients but not as permeable as sand and silt. Silt has greater moisture retention than sand, fewer nutrients than clay, but helps the sand and clay mix together more readily. Compost is the end product of decomposed organic matter. The compost we supply is made of straw, horse, and chicken manure. Compost provides essential nutrients to the soil, which helps your plants and vegetables grow healthy and strong. Peat Moss and Perlite are incorporated into soil mixes for their water retention properties, slowly releasing water to your plants’ roots.
