| Our Most Popular Landscape products Most of the Soil, and mulch products are priced between $37 - 39.00 per yard. Fish Compost, Nugget bark, Playchips are between $40 - 55 per yard. Prices are plus delivery Cedar Grove Compost - This well known product is ideal for adding life back to old or worn out soils. As landscape gardeners, one of the most common mistakes we see are folks trying to garden in bad soil! West Seattle has lots of various soil types, but sandy or heavy clay soils seem to be the most common. Especially in sandy soils, adding compost helps put nutrients back that have been lost over time, or just never were there. In addition, adding an organic product such as Cedar grove compost will help sandy soils retain moisture a bit longer by keeping them from draining quite as quickly. We do recommend that you either rototill or hand fork the compost into the soil to mix it in, but you can also put it around established plantings, as a mulch, or use it under a mulch such as Steerco or bark. We can get this bagged for you as well. We're happy to report that the quality this year has also improved and we are seeing much less plastic, debris etc. in it. Oly Mountain Fish Compost Blend of recycled yard waste product and fish by product compost, very high in nutrients, virtually no odor. Minimum 4 yard order plus delivery charge. Cedar Grove Garden-Vegetable Mix - Another fine product is this 3 part blend of Topsoil, Sandy Loam, and Cedar Grove Compost. It is a very rich soil, perfect for planting new beds, planters, flower gardens, or vegetable gardens. It is also ideal for overseeding lawns or under new sod, as it is pretty well screened and doesn't have a lot of debris in it. We sell more of this than any of our products and people have been very happy with it. We think it's the finest Garden Soil/Topsoil we've found by the yard. We also still do our Super Veggie mix, which adds another 15-20% compost to the standard veggie mix for vegetable gardens that require the extra organic material. Cedar Grove Two Way Topsoil This is a good blend for overseeding lawns, new lawns or under sod. It's a bit smoother/less clumpy than the garden mix, and is a 50/50 blend of compost and sand. Cedar Grove Bio Retention Soil A mix that's blended for rain garden use. 60% sand and 40% compost. Spring is a Great time to mulch your garden beds Mulching accomplishes several things. If you use a product like Steerco ( below ) it adds nutrients like nitrogen back to the soil as it decomposes. Equally important in Seattle, it also helps protect root zones of borderline plants over the winter, as well as helping hold moisture in the soil. Mulching in early spring before most of your perennials are up and filled in is easier and will assure you of a healthy, water wise garden over the summer months Steerco Mulch - This fine locally produced product is a blend of very fine bark mulch and composted manure. It has a nice medium brown color, not as reddish as bark mulch, so it looks very nice when used as a top-dressing/mulch in planter beds. Because it is partly composted manure, it also has around 1% nitrogen, so helps put some nutrients back in the soil. Woody plants such as Rhodies, azaelas, nandinas, viburnum and others seem to thrive with this as their mulch. We have been using this product exclusively as our mulch choice for over 5 years and have been very happy with it. It also does a fine job of helping retain important moisture in the soil during our dryer summer months. Medium Fine Beauty Bark - A northwest classic, used in many yards because of it's cedar red color. We recommend that if you do use it, that you spread some compost underneath it around your established plantings before putting down the bark, as bark by itself will not provide any nutrients to your plants. Dark Bark & Fine Bark Like the names imply, the Dark Bark is regular texture, but a more dark brown. Fine Bark is simply finer texture than the medium fine, but with the same reddish color. Cedar Grove Garden Mulch A 50/50 blend of Medium bark and Compost. Very dark nearly black in color, it adds nutrients to a mulch with bark texture, plus giving the dark color that many like. Medium or Large Nugget Bark Unfortunately not always available this year, but can be gotten if you can wait a week or so at times. Medium nuggets are about 1-1.5" or so, large are 2.5-4. Still have the bark color, but don't break down as fast as it is a chunkier product. Does run about $15 more per yard than standard bark product. Playchip Shavings Clean wood chips, ideal for use around childrens' play areas, for garden pathways, or for woodland area mulch Hardscape / Aggregate Products Most Standard Aggregate / Construction Grade products below are currently $ 40 - 42 per yard plus delivery charge Builder's Sand - Excellent for use in rototilling into heavy clay soils along with compost to facilitate drainage, in mixing concrete, or under flagstone, pavers or bricks for creating patios. A medium sand, light brown in color. Also used for children's play areas! 5/8 Minus Ledge Rock Gravel - This gravel product is widely used as a base course for installing patios, pavers, flagstone, and concrete. It is a mixture of 5/8-3/4 ledge rock gravel, and fine particulate, so it will compact very solidly with a plate compactor, hand compaction or just by driving over it with a vehicle. It makes an excellent base ( before final levelling with sand ) for putting down pavers and such, as you can level it well, then compact it and prevent future lumps, dips and holes in your paver or flagstone patio. Many people use it as driveway gravel for the same reason, and with good results. If you don't like the look of the fine particles, you can top coat it with a thinner layer of washed gravel and still have a very firm driveway or walking path surface. 1 1/4" Minus Ledge Rock Similar to the 5/8- above but with larger aggregate pieces. Good for alleyways or heavy traffic areas as it breaks down slower than the 5/8" minus, and does work a bit better in very muddy/soft areas. 5/8- 3/4" Washed Gravel ( Chip Rock ) - Your classic gravel, washed so that it is fairly clean right from the beginning. Used in driveway's, paths, etc. It will provide a fairly stable surface as it gets driven and walked on, but not a firm as the 5/8 minus will. Because of its cut, more angular shapes, it is a better choice than pea gravel for most walking paths as it will tend to be more stable. 1/4" Minus Paver Base Great product for use under pavers or stone as it will compact for the base, and then can be put on top of the compacted base for laying the final product, or simply spread and compacted for a walkway or patio area 3/8" Pea Gravel Small rounded "pea shaped" gravel. Many like it for pathways, between raised garden beds, etc. 3/4 - 1 1/2" Drain ( River ) Rock - Recommended for drainage lines, french drains, trench drains etc. Washed smaller diameter river rock, it leaves air/water gaps between it, so will allow water to filter through and percolate into the soil or perforated drain lines. Not recommended for driveways or pathways, as it doesn't pack in well, and will not be a stable surface for driving or walking. It is used for decorative purposes by many in dry/wet stream beds, small ponds, around fountains, etc. 7/8" Drain (River) rock A bit easier to work with, still good for most drainage applications, or as landscape/ground cover. ALSO AVAILABLE 2-4" Cobble Rock, 4-12" Cobble Rock, 2-4" Granite/Basalt Railroad Ballast Cobble, 10-16" Basketball (River - mostly Granite ) rock, 1/4" minus black basalt gravel, 5/8" minus black basalt gravel, 3/4" - Black Basalt gravel, 1.25" minus black basalt gravel and 1.5-2.5" Crushed Basalt, 1/4" clean Chip rock gravel ( chip seal ) For Decorative Rock Products Flagstone and Rockery Rock Please see our "Stone Products" page for a list of all our decorative stone! |
