Services
Bulk Soil Delivery
Our Garden Blend Soil and Top Soil products provide optimal growing conditions for gardens and landscaping projects. The Garden Blend, developed by our horticulturists, contains ideal organic matter for immediate planting. Top Soil improves existing soil structure while adding volume to low areas. Both products support healthy root development and moisture retention for residential and commercial applications.
Fertilizer Application
We offer specialized fall fertilizers formulated to nourish lawns through winter dormancy. Our staff provides personalized recommendations based on soil type and grass species. The application process ensures proper nutrient absorption while preventing over-fertilization. This seasonal service helps maintain lawn health and promotes strong spring regrowth through scientifically balanced mineral content.
Playground Safety Surfaces
Our Playground Chips and Play Sand create safe, durable surfaces for children's play areas. Playground Chips, made from splinter-free spruce wood, provide cushioning while resisting displacement. Play Sand's fine texture retains moisture without clumping. Both options meet safety standards for impact absorption while offering natural aesthetics that complement outdoor environments.
Tree & Shrub Selection
We provide diverse tree varieties including fruit-bearing species and shade trees suited to local climates. Our selection includes apple, cherry, and nectarine trees alongside ornamental shade options. Each plant undergoes quality inspection to ensure healthy root systems. Customers receive planting guidance and maintenance tips for optimal growth in Utah's growing conditions.
Mulching Services
Our mulching solutions include Nutri-Mulch, Shredded Red Fir Bark, and dyed wood chips that enhance soil health and moisture retention. These products suppress weeds while regulating soil temperature extremes. The mulching process replenishes nutrients depleted during growing seasons, protecting plant root systems through winter while improving landscape aesthetics with consistent coloration.
