Quality Topsoil     Picked Up       Delivered

About Us

American Topsoil was started in 1988 by Ed Prigel.  Ed is a geologist and has extensive experience in agriculture as well as soil conservation.  Most people do not know that selling topsoil in an urban setting is actually topsoil conservation.  We work on farms that will soon be developed.  We remove and save the rich, top 8 inches of topsoil before the farm is developed.  Usually, the best topsoil gets ruined during development as it gets mixed up with clay and rocks and buried within the site's development.

We then sell the rich topsoil to people who need it for gardens and yard work.  We estimate that our topsoil remains just as productive and possibly even more productive being in someone's garden, compared to its former state on the farm.

Since 1988, American Topsoil has grown to employ nine people full time and several more part-time employees.  Our employees make the difference as they put their experience to work  for you everyday.

	Left:  Owners Ed & James James joined the company full time in 1993 making American Topsoil a true family business. Right:  Steve has been managing our office for nearly 15 years and is always ready to answer your questions.
	Mike & Debbie are married and both work for American Topsoil.  Mike is in charge of topsoil production at the Olathe location while his wife Debra works in the office.  In addition to working in the office, she also answers the telephones at night until 9:00pm at their home.
	Larry has been hauling for American Topsoil for nearly 10 years.  His sister-in-law, Jeanie has proven to be invaluable part of our team as well.  They both do a great job of taking care of our deliveries.
	Becky handles topsoil production at our Missouri location and George takes care of all of our accounting.
