Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How do I improve drainage in heavy soil?

Organic matter is key—compost, manure, garden blends. Silver Spring's clay loam with piedmont clay improves gradually. Raised beds speed results.

Answer

What soil is best for raised beds?

Get a raised bed blend with topsoil, compost, and perlite or similar. Silver Spring's native clay loam doesn't perform as well in frames.

Answer

When is the best time to add soil?

Spring and fall work well. In Silver Spring, target after Apr 10 in spring or before Oct 30 in fall. Don't work saturated soil.

Answer

How often should I add new soil?

Annual compost addition keeps raised beds productive—1–2 inches per year. Mulched in-ground beds need less frequent soil additions.

Answer

Do I need to test my soil?

It helps. Silver Spring soil often runs neutral to slightly acidic. A simple pH test tells you if amendments are needed. Extension offices often test cheaply.

Answer

Should I remove existing soil first?

Skip removal in most cases. Till existing soil and blend in new material. Taking it out is only needed for contaminated sites.

Answer

Do I need landscape fabric under soil?

Fabric isn't ideal under growing areas. Cardboard smothers grass better and biodegrades. Use fabric under gravel, not gardens.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Slope topsoil toward drainage areas at minimum 2 percent grade for proper water movement. Use a level and tape measure to verify slope before planting, sodding, or seeding the area.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Spread topsoil in 2 to 3 inch lifts when filling areas deeper than a few inches. Thick layers compact under their own weight and create drainage problems for years. Build up gradually for best results.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The top 6 inches of soil contains approximately 90 percent of all root activity for most landscape plants. Quality topsoil in this critical zone matters more than what lies deeper below.

The Unique Landscape of Silver Spring

Silver Spring, Maryland garden prep is less frustrating when the soil level is even and easy to rake. Spring rain and freeze–thaw cycles can leave beds lumpy and wash out low spots, and a refreshed top layer helps projects finish neater. Great for gardens, borders, and any spot where you want a smoother grade and better planting layer. On slopes, shape a gentle contour so water moves through without cutting channels. Delivered soil makes it easier to do the job once and move on to planting.
