		LIVING MULCH™ Is a blend of premium hardwood bark mulch and our OMRI Listed® organic compost. With the addition of the compost, Living Mulch™ provides nitrogen to counter the carbon demand of the hardwood bark mulch therefore it is not robbing needed nitrogen away from your plants. Quality compost will improve the nutritional and physical characteristics of your soil, making Living Mulch™ more beneficial than hardwood bark mulch alone. Living Mulch™ stays dark longer and provides a stunning contrast to your plants, while being weed and insect free. For more information about our compost visit the Composting page. Apply at a depth of 2 to 3 inches.

		PREMIUM BLENDED TOPSOIL You can buy no better topsoil than ours. We purchase only the best regional topsoil and blend it with our OMRI Listed® organic compost. The addition of the compost gives your plantings a nutritional boost that regular topsoil does not. We power screen and shred our topsoil which removes most of the clumps for easier spreading.


		RAIN GARDEN/BIOSWALE SOIL A Rain Garden/Bioswale is defined as a landscape element designed to remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water. Rain Gardens have become very popular in residential areas. These areas not only enhance the landscape, but more importantly reduce stormwater runoff and filter pollutants, thus improving water quality. In most cases the soil will need to be replaced or at least amended with sand, compost and sometimes other ingredients. We have the equipment and facilities to custom blend these specialty soils as needed.




		POTTING MEDIA Our organically enriched potting media is derived from our Thoroughbred compost and Loblolly Pine Fines. The advantages include good moisture retention while providing excellent drainage, a nutritional source that can reduce your fertilizer cost and reduce transplant shock. This rich and consistent media can be custom blended to your specific needs. Use as you would any soilless potting media, to achieve higher yields and more vibrant colors. You will find that you will need to water less frequently and the amount of fertilizer needed will decrease.


		PLAYGROUND AND SURFACING CHIPS This uniform and clean wood chip material has multiple uses, including playgrounds and walking surfaces. You’ll find this material to be light in color and provide a consistent surface. Apply at a depth of 2-3 inches.
