Contractor Grade Topsoil

One of Lake and McHenry counties best resources for successful gardening is the use of FWA’s reclaimed topsoil. The soils are nutrient rich with natural fish fertilizer which improves soil health and increases soil fertility by providing the primary nutrients necessary for plants to thrive. Proceeds are used to further preserve your Chain O’Lakes & Fox River.
