Compost

Our compost is made in small batches with integrity and commitment to community and nutrient balance. The final product is rich in humus, nurtures beneficial micro-organisms, is free of any viable weed seeds, and contains an abundance of immediate and slow release nutrients.

We test for salts, nutrients, heavy metals, herbicides, plant vigor and soil food web biology.  More info and results here.

$90 to $60 per yard. 

Premium Soil Blend

A 50/50 blend of compost and a sandy loam. Great for raised beds, garden beds, and lawns.

We source the sandy loam from a single source to ensure consistency because we also test it for heavy metals and herbicides.  

A sandy loam helps the soil drain and resist compacting.  

These soils are made for growing food for your family, flowers, herbs, or new plantings both annual and perennial. You can use this soil wherever you need a rich planting medium.

$80 to $60 per yard.

Leaf Mulch

Protect your plants with natures natural mulch. Leaf mulch is a great alternative to traditional bark/wood mulch. It breaks down quicker, turning into a leaf humus that will nourish the soil below.

Bark and wood mulch suppresses weeds by depleting the soil.  This is useful in commercial landscaping applications where you don't want plants to grow.  

Leaf Mulch will nourish the soil as it breaks down. However it needs to be put on thicker in order to suppress weeds. It is excellent for vegetable gardens, perennial gardens and deciduous trees.
