Grade A Topsoil is our highest quality screened topsoil — ideal for lawns, turfing and garden beds where you want the best growing conditions. Topsoil Grade B is a more economical option suited to bulk filling, general landscaping and areas where a premium finish is less critical. Sandy Loam Compost Soil (BS3882) is a premium blend meeting British Standards, combining sandy loam with quality compost for free-draining yet moisture-retentive growing conditions. Topsoil Compost Blend is ideal for enriching existing garden soil and raised beds. If you are unsure which is right for your project, call us on 01635 865679 for advice.

Minimum delivery quantities apply. The minimum is usually 0.5 tonnes when ordered over the phone or 1 tonne when ordered online (1 tonne is 1000kg — not 1 bulk bag which is typically around 700-900kg). Browse products on our website to see pricing and minimum order quantities for each material. For orders below the minimum or advice on quantities, call us on 01635 865679.

Loose tipped delivery means the material is tipped directly from our vehicle onto your driveway or specified location. You will need suitable access for our delivery vehicle and a clear area where the material can be placed. The material will form a pile that you can then barrow or move to where it is needed. This is the most cost-effective delivery method for bulk quantities and is standard for all our loose materials.

We deliver throughout Thatcham, Newbury, Reading and surrounding towns and villages across Berkshire, North Hampshire and Southern Oxfordshire. Our delivery area covers approximately 30 to 50 miles from our Thatcham depot. When you order online, enter your postcode to check delivery availability and see charges for your location. For postcodes outside our standard area, call 01635 865679 to discuss options. Check our delivery information page for full details.

Sharp Sand (0-4mm) has coarser, angular grains ideal for concrete mixing, floor screeds and drainage applications where strength and drainage are important. Building Sand (also called soft sand or bricklaying sand) has finer, smoother particles perfect for bricklaying mortar, rendering and general building work where workability matters. Choose Sharp Sand for structural applications and Building Sand for mortar and rendering work.

Type 1 MOT is the most commonly used sub base material for driveways, paths, patios and general construction. It compacts well and provides a stable foundation. MOT Type 3 is a clean crushed stone without fines, used where drainage is a priority. 40mm Scalpings (6N Fill) is a general purpose fill material suitable for bulk filling and levelling.
