Blower Topsoil

Q: Do you blow topsoil?

Yes!

We have a specially formulated mix that we can blow in. It’s a mix of 70% compost and 30% sand. We call it blower topsoil. It has been used in a variety of applications.

Does this sound like it would work on your project?

Here are some scenarios this product has been used for successfully by our customers:

- Installing rolled sod, spreading grass seed, or hydroseeding directly on top.
- Blown in raised planter boxes and gardens areas.
- Blown in to low spots of an existing uneven lawn.
- Blown in to flower beds to raise up and provide good growing media for plants.
- Blown in to create raised flower beds for planting.

At Aardvark Bark, we know that not all topsoil is created equal—and not all installation methods are efficient for every job. That’s why we offer Blower Topsoil, a premium soil solution delivered and installed through our high-powered blower trucks. This service is perfect for homeowners, landscapers, and contractors looking for fast, clean, and even topsoil distribution across gardens, lawns, slopes, planter beds, or hard-to-reach areas.

If you're preparing a new lawn, revitalizing garden beds, or filling in low spots, blower-applied topsoil can save you time, labor, and hassle. Let’s dig into what makes our blower topsoil such a smart choice for your next outdoor project.

What Is Blower Topsoil?

Blower topsoil is high-quality, screened topsoil that we install using a pneumatic blower system. Instead of dumping soil in piles or hauling wheelbarrows by hand, we blow the soil directly where you need it—whether it’s a backyard, rooftop, commercial planter bed, or slope.

The blower application allows for fast and uniform spreading of topsoil, even in tight spaces or challenging terrain. The result is a smooth, level layer of rich soil ready for planting, seeding, or mulching—without the backbreaking labor of traditional methods.

At Aardvark Bark, our blower topsoil is:

  • Screened for consistency

  • Free of large clumps, debris, and contaminants

  • Available in standard or custom blends

  • Perfect for residential, commercial, and municipal projects

Why Choose Blower-Applied Topsoil?

Blower topsoil isn’t just about convenience—it’s a game-changer for landscapers, contractors, and homeowners alike. Here’s why:

1. Clean and Efficient

Traditional topsoil delivery often results in large piles that must be manually spread, tracked through yards, or hauled by hand. With blower topsoil, there’s minimal mess and no need for wheelbarrows, rakes, or heavy equipment. We blow it in precisely where it belongs, saving hours of manual labor.

2. Even Distribution

The blower system ensures a consistent and uniform layer of topsoil. This is ideal for areas where grading is important—such as new lawns, garden beds, or raised planters.

3. Access Hard-to-Reach Spaces

Have a narrow side yard, a backyard behind a fence, or a sloped embankment? No problem. Our blower hoses can reach over 200 feet from the truck, delivering topsoil to spaces that other trucks or equipment can’t access.

4. Less Compaction

Because we don’t drive on your lawn or garden beds, the soil remains loose and uncompacted—ideal for plant root growth and healthy soil structure.

5. Faster Installation

Blower-applied topsoil can be installed in a fraction of the time it takes to spread soil by hand. That means quicker turnaround for projects and less disruption to your property.

Common Uses for Blower Topsoil

Our blower topsoil is suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial applications. Whether you’re creating a lush backyard lawn or finishing a large public park, this versatile soil delivery method gets the job done right.

Lawn Installation & Repair

Blower topsoil provides a smooth, level surface for new sod or grass seed. It’s also ideal for top-dressing existing lawns to fill in low spots and promote healthy turf growth.

Garden & Flower Beds

When building or replenishing raised beds, planters, or flower gardens, blower topsoil allows for fast and even coverage that supports healthy root systems and vibrant blooms.

Slope Stabilization

Need to add soil to a hillside or embankment? Blower topsoil can be applied without damaging the slope or compacting the ground—perfect for erosion control and native planting projects.

Green Roofs & Rooftop Gardens

Our trucks can deliver topsoil up several stories to install or refresh rooftop gardens. Lightweight, custom-blended soil mixes are also available for projects with load-bearing requirements.

Commercial Landscaping

Blower-applied topsoil is ideal for large commercial jobs where speed, accuracy, and minimal disruption are key. Whether you're working on a housing development, retail center, or municipal green space, we’ve got the tools and crew to handle it.
