Prime Waste Services delivers topsoil by grab lorry across Mitcham (CR4), loose or in jumbo bags. Because the crane can lift over walls, fences and parked cars, the soil lands in the garden or on the site rather than on the pavement, saving hours of barrowing.
Topsoil is usually the last load on a job. Landscapers, driveway installers and extension builders in Mitcham order it to reinstate lawns, beds and borders once the heavy work is done. If you still have spoil or rubble on site, we can take that away on the same visit where the job allows.
Topsoil for finishing driveway, extension and basement projects in Mitcham
Driveway contractors and resin driveway installers in Mitcham often need topsoil to rebuild verges and planting strips around a new drive. Extension and basement builders need it to make good the garden after the footings, drainage and scaffolding have gone. The local ground is London Clay, with river gravels closer to the Wandle, so laying a good depth of fresh topsoil over compacted subsoil makes a real difference to how well new turf and planting take.
- New lawns and re-turfing: allow around 100 to 150mm of topsoil
- Flower beds and borders: allow around 300 to 450mm
- Raised beds and planters: fill to the required depth
- Levelling and re-grading gardens after building work
As a guide, one cubic metre of topsoil covers about 10m² at 100mm deep. Tell us the area and we will help you work out the quantity.

Topsoil delivery in Mitcham: local knowledge
We deliver across Mitcham Fair Green, London Road and the streets around Mitcham Common and Pollards Hill, in the London Borough of Merton, just across Mitcham Common from Croydon. Typical homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre and interwar housing on estates such as Pollards Hill. Terraced streets with tight parking mean there is rarely room for a skip, but the lorry can stop, load from the road and leave.
Licensed, insured and documented
We hold Environment Agency waste carrier registration CBDU480663 (upper tier, carrier and dealer) and Goods Vehicle Operator Licence OK2066087. Our drivers are CPCS compliant, CSCS registered and DBS checked, we are fully insured, and a waste transfer note is issued for every load we take away.
Frequently asked questions: topsoil delivery in Mitcham
How much topsoil do I need for a lawn in Mitcham?
For new turf allow around 100 to 150mm. One cubic metre covers about 10m² at 100mm deep, so a 50m² lawn needs roughly 5 to 7.5 cubic metres.
Can you drop topsoil in my back garden?
Often, yes. The crane can lift over walls and fences up to 7.5m from the lorry depending on vehicle and site conditions. If the garden is out of reach, we can place it as close as possible on the front.
Do you deliver topsoil in bags?
Yes. We deliver loose or in jumbo bags. Bags keep the soil contained if it will sit on a drive for a few days.
Can you take away old soil or rubble at the same time?
Yes, where the job allows. We can remove spoil, rubble or green waste and deliver fresh topsoil on the same visit.
