Dandy's Root-Zone Sand / Soil Mix
Dandy's Root-Zone is a blend of coarse gritty sand and sandy loam topsoil.
Due to the high sand content this topsoil is amazing for areas that suffer from water-logging and/or poor drainage. It's particularly good if you want a lush, green lawn but have a garden that suffers from a wee bit too much shade, loads of rainfall (who doesn't suffer from this frankly!), or need to circle a pond. It's also great for levelling off for a new lawn and for mixing into any existing soil that easily waterlogs and floods. ** PLEASE NOTE** Root Zone should be used at the root zone - so beneath turf or grass seed - it is NOT suitable for use a Top Dressing.
We do three sizes of bulk bag; a jumbo bag contains approx 1000kg (one tonne) of topsoil, a standard bulk bag contains about 750kg (same as most builders merchants, other topsoil suppliers) and a 500kg bag which is basically a half filled tonne bag!
Small bags of topsoil are 25kg and the perfect option if you want a small quantity of soil or if you have access issues and will have to carry the topsoil through your house or over any walls etc.

What you have ordered, and whereabouts you are, will determine the method of delivery, as well as the cost. When you enter your delivery address at checkout a haulage rate bespoke to your order will be generated.
In general - 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 or onto a level, solid surface such as a tarmac drive (not gravel or grass sorry).
If you're ordering goods tipped loose in bulk then an 8 wheeler HGV tipper will drop it off. If you have any questions or if you have tight or restricted access, just give us a call on 01244 257584.
Please note small items valid for free delivery will be shipped with a 48 hr courier or with Royal Mail second class service.
Here at Dandy's we often get asked to help work out quantities needed for topsoil, bark, and gravel.
Here are some quantity calculators to give you a helping hand, please note though these are just estimates and of course may not be exact - we advise you to under order so that you can always order more if you need to!
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.
Crusherrun
Use the Gravel Calculator then multiply by 1.25 (= tonnes per inch)
Natural Stone Paving
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 you need. Our packs are 18.9m2.
