Mulch & Dirt

There are many benefits of mulching, including fewer weeds and less erosion, but the most important advantages to mulching in our area are more moderated soil temperatures and conserved soil moisture. Mulch can also decrease the incidence of soil-borne diseases by preventing soil-borne pathogens from splashing onto leaves when it rains.

Organic mulches are preferred over inorganic mulches because they break down and release nutrients back to the soil, which plants can then take up. They can also improve soil structure by adding organic matter. Because organic mulches break down, they need to be replenished periodically (usually about once a year).

Start projects with the best topsoil for results you can be proud of. High-quality topsoil helps ensure you and your clients end up with beautiful, lasting landscaping. It’s more than just dirt. Quality topsoil enhances almost every other investment you make in a landscaping project.

Topsoil is the upper, outermost layer of soil, usually the top 2 inches to 8 inches. It has the highest concentration of organic matter and microorganisms and is where most of the Earth’s biological soil activity occurs.
