Anyone in herts/beds area want any topsoil for lanscaping

We want top level off front garden for parking and skips are coming in at £200 and wont get rid of it all. Seems like a rip off when it can be put anywhere and doesnt need sorting

Yeah we had a farmer freind that did that for us once before but he now says environmental laws have put a stop to that. I think he is just being lazy

We have a post up on ebay saying it free help you self. Still get the odd question how much

Good topsoil has good value if there's enough of it, should shift it if you advertise it.

He's probably at home now cleaning his car and thinking I wish I had paid somebody to go and collect the soil

Nobody will be paying attention to topsoil because they got that fed up of used duvets being offered that they unsubscribed.
