Topsoil for New Builds: What You Need to Know

Most new homes in Calgary come with minimal topsoil and compacted subgrade—great for foundations, terrible for lawns.

What New Builds Typically Need:

• 4–6 inches of screened topsoil

• Proper grading away from foundation

• Soil amendment before sod installation
