Celebrate topsoil with us on UN World Soil Day

It’s World Soil Day – an opportunity to celebrate the vital role that soil plays in our well-being and raise awareness by sharing some key facts about topsoils:

Topsoils are full of life. They might not look like much but this little handful will likely contain more individual life forms than there are people on the planet.

Biodiversity of topsoils. From worms down to fungi and bacteria this handful of soil is packed full of biodiversity and might contain 50,000 different species. Many of these organisms are essential for plant growth and that’s why we always include naturally sourced soil in our blends.

Carbon and climate. Soils are massive stores of carbon and can play an essential role in the fight against climate change. Some of the most important soils are peatlands and that’s why we have never used peat within our blends.

Healthy soils for water. Healthy soils soak up water during rainstorms and so help to reduce the risk of devastating flooding. Adding an mulch, or soil improver to your beds and borders will help increase its organic content to increase biological activity and water absorbency.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
