Soil Improver Conditioner

Description

Dandy's Soil Improver Conditioner is perfect for existing soil that just needs a good old boost to bring it back to life.

For Sandy Soil:

Add our black, friable compost which is completely organic and chemical free.  Just give it a mix at the start of the Spring and you'll have beautiful root growth boosting soil ready to plant into.  The green matter retains moisture and continues to rot down releasing nutrients into the soil. 

For Clay Soil:

Our Composted Mulch Fines are fab for improving drainage and for lightening up heavy clay soils.  Composted mulch fines are a cross between a a mulch and a compost - so light and nutrient packed, but very woody! This is a great one to mix into heavy soil and it's also great for whacking down onto your beds and borders over the Winter, prepping you well ahead of time for the growing season come Spring.

We can supply you with 3 sizes of bulk bag:

  • Jumbo Bulk Bag which contains approx 1000ltrs (one cubic metre)
  • Standard Bulk Bag contains about 750ltrs (same as most builders merchants)
  • Midi Bulk Bag contains approx 500ltrs

Economy Delivery is currently between 3 - 4 working days. You can also select a delivery date that suits you after this.

Express/Next Working Day may be available depending on your location; please select an option at the checkout (this will vary during Christmas and over bank Holidays).

We use a variety of delivery vehicles and haulage firms to complete our deliveries.

If you live in or near Chester, we'll deliver to you ourselves with a HGV crane, if you live elsewhere in the UK we'll use a pallet network who will use a manually operated pallet truck to move the pallet of bag(s) to the kerbside, onto a level, solid surface such as a tarmac (not gravel or grass sorry).

Bulk Bag and Pallet shipping is free to Cheshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, parts of Manchester, parts of Merseyside and Liverpool - outside of this area prices start at £11.95. Parcels, samples and individual small small bags are shipped with Royal Mail and therefore are not free delivery.

Quantity Calculations

Topsoil and Sand

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 X 1.2 X Depth (inches)... then divide your total by 36 = tonnes required

Bark, Mulch and Compost

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.05 = cubic metres per 2 inch/50mm depth

Garden Lawn Turf

Length (m) X Width (m) = amount of rolls needed.  We advise that you order 10% extra so that you have plenty for offcuts.

Natural Stone Paving

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 you need.  Our packs are 15.25m2.

Gravel and Slate

Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 

m2 x 0.04 = tonnes per 1 inch/25mm depth

Crusherrun

Use the Gravel Calculator then multiply by 1.25 (= tonnes per inch)

Conversion:

1 tonne = 1000kgs / 1 Jumbo Bag

1 cubic metre = 1000ltrs / 1 Jumbo Bag

Samples

Order Samples here.

Samples are sent with Royal Mail 2nd class service so please allow 3 to 5 working days (please allow extra during Royal Mail Strikes).

Samples are chosen at random and naturally occurring products may vary slightly in shade and particle size, from load to load.

This is a small amount of product that will fit in your hand, approx 100gms per sample.

Product Disclaimer

Weeds

We do not chemically treat our products for weeds. Weeds thrive in warm, wet weather and especially in very fertile soils and composts like our own. Although every care is taken to remove weeds during our screening process we can not guarantee that weed seeds are not present in the soil or compost that you receive. To keep your topsoil organic we suggest pulling up common weeds, when and if they appear, instead of using chemical weed-killers. Or purchase some of our anti-weed prevent membrane and some gravel or mulch, for an easy weed-free garden!

Gravel/Stone Size & Colour

Images are for representation only.  All products that Dandy’s supplies are naturally occurring products and may have slight variations in colour, size and content, individual rocks, stones or cobbles made be broken or misshaped because of this. Sizes of products specified are approximate and can vary.  Naturally occurring products such as slate, natural stone paving or gravel are sourced from quarries and so can often differ in appearance slightly from load to load.

Excellent service

Dandy’s service was great and the top soil that replaced the developer’s top soil at a new build was transformational for the relayed lawn and borders. Plants grew instantly and are establishing themselves well beyond expectation.

Great service, fast delivery and quality products

I’ve had a couple of bulk deliveries of different products from Dandy’s now and can’t think of a single negative.
The range is excellent and online ordering is simple and straightforward. Delivery is quick and every driver that’s delivered has been friendly, professional and really helpful in dropping the bags in the best possible position despite that being difficult due the mass of overhead cables.
The products I’ve received so far have been really clean and great quality.
I have a fairly big garden and a small allotment plot to improve and will definitely be back for more.

Amazing

I shopped around for both soil conditioner and top soil and I wasn’t convinced that some main stores could provide the quality I was after, nor be value for money. I took a chance and ordered from Dandy’s. Delivery was top notch, the product has changed my garden for good - after months of trying to find a way to improve clay soil. I am very happy with the result and the price I paid. Would 100% recommend.

Good product

The soil improver looks and feels the part, time will tell if it does the job. Delivery was very poor. Jumbo bag delivered to the wrong address, driver did not look at the street sign, just his sat nav. Had to wait a further day before redelivered to correct address.
