Best top soil for new lawn

I am importing topsoil to create a a new lawn. The base is clay, with drainage installed, with 150mm of topsoil to go on top.

Wondering which of these products would be best?

    I had a clay base and opted for a lawn mix rather than top soil. The organic matter etc is good for establishing the base.

    Based on what’s available on your region, the Premium mix is what I’d go for initially. Then perhaps next season opt for top soil or sand depending on how you go.

    Please keep us updated on your selection and progress. What kind of drainage did you install?
