Across Wrentham, new lawns, regrading after septic work and raised vegetable beds are the most common soil projects. For that reason, screened loam is a regular order in Wrentham. In short, our ½″ Screened Loam is screened topsoil for new lawns, grading and garden beds, and it is sold by the cubic yard.

Why Wrentham customers choose our screened loam

Loam is topsoil with a balanced mix of sand, silt and organic matter. That mix holds moisture without staying soggy, which is exactly what grass and garden plants want.

Screening to half an inch removes rocks, roots and clumps. So the soil spreads easily with a rake and levels without lumps. In addition, it settles evenly, which keeps new lawns from developing low spots.

Popular uses for screened loam in Wrentham

Homeowners and contractors in Wrentham put screened loam to work in many ways. Here is where screened loam does its best work:

How much screened loam does a Wrentham project need?

First, measure the area in feet and multiply length by width. Then multiply by the depth in inches and divide by 324. The result is cubic yards, which is how we sell screened loam. A new lawn needs 4 to 6 inches of screened loam. Low spots in an existing lawn, however, only need a thin layer of an inch or less.

For example, a typical Wrentham job of about 500 square feet needs roughly 6 yards at 4 inches, or 9.5 yards at 6 inches. Still, round up by half a yard for edges and settling. Or call (774) 372-1050, and we will check the math before the truck is loaded.

Delivery or pickup for Wrentham, MA

We deliver screened loam in Wrentham, MA by truck, placing the pile where you want it. Most Wrentham driveways are easy for our trucks. Still, older roads near the town center can be narrow, so tell us about tight turns or low branches when you order.

1. Book the load. Call or send a quote request with the amount of screened loam and your Wrentham address.
2. Pick the drop spot. Next, choose firm, open ground close to the work area, clear of wires and branches.
3. Protect the surface. Then lay a tarp or plywood on pavement, so cleanup takes minutes.
4. Meet the truck. Finally, the driver calls ahead and places the pile as close to your spot as the ground safely allows.

Picking up at the yard

Because the yard is in Wrentham, a pickup is a quick local errand rather than a road trip. As a rule, a full-size pickup carries about 2 yards of this material safely. So check your payload rating, and bring a tarp for the ride back to Wrentham.

When to order screened loam in Wrentham

Late summer into early fall is the best time for new lawns in Wrentham. Warm soil and cool nights help seed sprout quickly, and there is less weed pressure. Spring works well for garden beds, too. However, avoid spreading soil when it is soaking wet, because it packs down under boots and wheels.

How to spread screened loam for a new lawn

1. Rough grade. Shape the ground so it slopes gently away from the house. Then remove large stones and debris.
2. Spread the loam. Dump loads across the area and spread 4 to 6 inches evenly. Next, break up any clumps with a rake.
3. Fine grade. Drag a landscape rake or a board across the surface. As a result, you get a smooth, level seedbed.
4. Firm it up. Roll lightly with a lawn roller so footprints do not sink too deep. Avoid packing it hard, though.
5. Seed and water. Finally, seed, rake it in lightly and keep the surface moist until the grass is up.
