Boost the Health of Your Garden or Lawn

Encourages Healthy Soil Life – Promotes beneficial microbial activity, supports natural nutrient cycling for long-term soil health

Improves Moisture Balance – Peat loam helps retain moisture without creating soggy soil and reduces drying out during hot or dry conditions.

Builds Rich, Healthy Soil Structure – Black loam adds organic matter and improves soil texture and enhances aeration for better root development.

Naturally Enriches Nutrients – Composted manure feeds plants with essential nutrients and supports steady, sustained growth throughout the season.

Improves Lawn & Garden Performance – Helps break down thatch and improve soil condition over time and encourages deep, strong root systems for healthier, more resilient growth.

The result is a nutrient-rich, well-balanced soil that helps your lawn and garden thrive from the ground up!

Soil Depth Chart

To use the chart, determine the square footage of your area and look for that number to the left side of the chart. Then determine the depth of the soil you feel is needed and find that number along the top of the chart. Where the two boxes intersect will be the approximate cubic yards of soil needed. Remember, when using the chart for soil calculations, add 20% to the yardage recommended to account for compaction.
