Fresh, Fertile Bedding Soil for Healthy Gardens
If you’re setting up a new flower bed, vegetable garden, or raised planter, the key to vigorous, healthy plants starts with the right bedding soil. At JBS Express McKinney, we offer high-quality bedding soil that’s rich in nutrients, well-balanced for optimal drainage, and ideal for all types of garden beds. Whether you’re planting herbs, tomatoes, or colorful blooms, our mix is made to help your garden thrive from the roots up.
Why Good Bedding Soil Matters
Your garden bed is only as good as the soil it’s built on. Our bedding soil is a custom blend of topsoil, organic matter, compost, and light materials such as peat, perlite, or coir, which enhance aeration and water flow. This blend is ideal for above ground garden beds, raised planters, and traditional garden plots.
We’ve taken the guesswork out of choosing the best soil for garden beds by focusing on what plants need to grow strong:
- Balanced pH to support root health
- Improved soil texture to prevent compaction
- A mix of nutrients from manure, compost, and mineral elements
- Excellent drainage for beds that don’t stay soggy
- Supports seed germination and strong root growth
What’s Inside Our Premium Bedding Soil
At JBS Express McKinney, our bedding soil is a blend of natural, locally sourced ingredients that promote soil health and long-term plant growth.
- Topsoil – Provides mass and structure to support roots.
- Compost – A rich source of nutrients and organic matter needed by plants
- Peat moss – Helps with water retention and aeration
- Sand – Improves drainage and soil flow

This balanced mix is ideal for a variety of applications, from a kitchen garden to above-ground flower beds, and is safe for use with houseplants, herbs, perennials, and vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, and leafy greens.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between bedding soil and topsoil?
Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil and may need additional nutrients or structure for the plant’s optimal growth. Bedding soil is a customized mix specifically designed for planting—it includes topsoil, organic matter, and materials such as peat or vermiculite to enhance performance.
Can I use bedding soil in above ground garden containers?
Yes! Our bedding soil works well in above-ground garden boxes and containers. It provides the drainage, structure, and nutrients that your plants need.
Do I need to add fertilizer to bedding soil?
While our mix contains organic matter and compost, you can boost your results by adding organic fertilizer during the growing season, especially for hungry crops like tomatoes and squash.
How much bedding soil do I need for my garden bed?
A 4×8 raised bed that’s 12 inches deep needs about 1.3 cubic yards of soil. We’ll help you calculate the correct amount based on your foot measurements.
Does bedding soil help with drainage?
Absolutely. Our mix is designed to hold the right amount of moisture without becoming waterlogged. This supports healthy root systems and reduces the risk of rot.
What soil is ideal for raised garden beds?
A mix of bedding soil, compost, loam, and materials like perlite or vermiculite is ideal. Our blend is specifically designed to be a perfect growing mix for raised garden soil.
