Product properties

Substrado® Topsoil Aqua has a unique ability to buffer 10% more water in the inner-city environment than regular topsoil. Thanks to the composition and high organic matter content of Substrado® Topsoil Aqua, nutrients are available for the plant. The product contains volcanic rock with pores and cavities that can retain large amounts of water. This makes the plant more resistant to extreme drought. Excess water is also drained quickly, reducing the risk of flooding.

Since the product is lightweight, it is very suitable as a growth substrate on basement floors, roofs or in areas sensitive to settlement.

Quality

Substrado® Topsoil Aqua is nearly free of perennial weeds and components foreign to the soil. It is produced and delivered with the BRL 9335-4 quality mark. The product also meets the value for clean soil and the requirements of the Standard RAW 2020: 'cultivation soil application area A1 + B1 + C1'.
