Bottom Line
While Scotts® Premium Topsoil provides good results for filling and leveling lawns, especially for Zoysia grass, it falls short as a topsoil due to the high content of debris and rock. It's recommended to inspect the product for debris and pests before purchasing. Be aware of price fluctuations and consider alternative solutions for clay-heavy areas or if significant weed growth is a concern.
