Ericaceous Lightweight Topsoil

Suitable for:
• Roof Gardens
• Intensive Green Roofs
• Podium Gardens
• Balcony Planters
• Lightweight Multi-Purpose Topsoil

Our Ericaceous Lightweight Topsoil is the industry favourite for ericaceous/acid loving planting schemes on green roofs, podium gardens and balcony planters. As with all our soils, our Ericaceous Lightweight Topsoil is scientifically verified by independent laboratory testing.

Bury Hill’s reputation for supplying a comprehensive range of lightweight topsoil is unsurpassed and our materials have been delivered to many notable projects and continue to be approved for some of the largest and most prestigious schemes that are being built today.

These additional green spaces provided by green roofs, balcony planters and podium gardens are welcomed by us humans for un-winding and de-stressing. Quality habitat is increased for insects, invertebrates, birds and the plants that we need to improve our environmental conditions. A few more benefits of these green spaces in the sky:

• Inception of rain water providing much needed relief for our drainage infrastructure
• Storage of rain water, which can be used as grey water for requirements such as toilet flushing
• Increasing the lifespan of your roof by protecting it from the elements
• Improving the thermal performance of buildings (protection from heat, insulation from cold)
• Providing a more aesthetically pleasing landscape for those living and working in high-rise buildings
• Improved air quality as vegetation traps dust particles
• Plants remove un-wanted carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis
• Cooling urban areas through evaporation of water from plants and the soils absorbing heat
• Urban food growing
