Our screened compost and compost blends are dark in color, rich in organic material and  water retentive. Plants grown in this will make you the envy of the neighborhood.
(Not sure how much you need? See our application chart)

Mulch
We have a variety of mulches, all finely ground to prevent matting which allows the water to penetrate evenly:



Enriched brown
Nitrogen enriched with ground stumps and bark, branches, leaves and other soft organic material. This finely ground, soft organic, triple ground, mix tends to take less nitrogen from the soil and away from your plants. The broken down mulch mixes with the soil, helping the soil to become the rich loamy soil found in the woods. Highly mosture retentive.
Price: $25. Per yard.  No credit cards.

Black*
If you are looking for contrast, the black color of this material will give you the look, as it sets off plants nicely. Our black mulch is more moisture retentive than most giving you plants moisture longer than other conventional black mulchs.
Price: $34. Per yard, no credit cards

Leaf Mulch
A basic chopped leaf mulch suitable for vegetable gardens.
This product is the start of our compost process, a material that has started to break down to become compost. (Leaf mulch may contain items left in fall leaves.) Availability depends on the compost process.
Price: $20. Per yard,  no credit cards

Screened woodchips
We run our woodchips through a 3/4 screen to give you an even particle size. Used for walks, edging and in play areas. Availability limited.
Price: $20 Per yard,  no credit cards

Unscreened woodchips
Wood particulars of various sizes. Used for under equipment or in the back of the property.
Price: $15 Per yard, no credit cards 


Soil Blends
Our compost and compost blends meet the state requirements of temperatures maintaining 131 F for at least 15 consecutive days with proper turning and cured for a minimum of 30 days. Temperatures taken to 140 /160 degrees kill weed seeds that are in the material while it is composting.  We can mix a soil to meet your needs, from the state retention pond filters to your back yard. Tell us what you want and we will do everything we can to accommodate you.

Screened compost garden mix
This loamy product is dark in color, rich in organic material and highly water retentive. Often used in raised beds, this product will retain moisture so your plants absorb needed nutriments and shoot  right out of the ground. We screen this product with a 1/2 screen allowing tiny chips of stone and wood to be included.  This prevents the soil from becoming compacted.  Now you will be able to get out weeds with a slight tug rather than chiseling them out of a compacted soil.  

Price: $25 Per yard.  Contractors call for pricing of 50 yards or more. No credit cards.
