If your yard has heavy clay, compacted dirt, or soil that just won't grow anything — garden mix is the fix. Our blend is 70% topsoil and 30% compost, mixed to give your plants the structure and nutrients they need to actually take root and thrive in Calgary's climate.
What's in it
70% screened topsoil combined with 30% compost creates a balanced growing medium — the topsoil gives structure and weight, the compost adds organic matter, improves drainage, and feeds your plants naturally. No fillers, no contaminants.
What it's used for
- Raised garden beds — fills and enriches new beds so plants establish fast from day one
- Planting beds and borders — amend into existing soil to break up clay and improve growing conditions
- New lawn preparation — spread as a base layer before seeding or laying sod
- Top dressing — replenish nutrients in tired, compacted, or depleted soil
- Container and box gardens — lightweight enough for containers, rich enough to grow vegetables
- Areas with poor soil — especially effective in Calgary yards with heavy clay or sandy base soil
Why Calgary yards need it
Calgary soil is notoriously clay-heavy. Clay drains poorly, compacts under foot traffic, and chokes roots. A layer of quality garden mix worked into your beds makes a noticeable difference in how fast plants establish and how well they hold through the season — and through Calgary's freeze-thaw cycles.
How much do you need?
For a 3-inch layer over a planting bed, you need roughly 1 cubic yard per 100 square feet. Use our free calculator to get the exact amount for your project.
