Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Prep Your Garden

Early summer is the sweet spot for yard prep. The soil is warming, but the heat of midsummer hasn’t set in yet. Tackling your landscaping now helps prevent weeds, improves drainage, and gives your plants a strong start.

Here’s how our products can help:


Mulch: Your Garden’s Best Friend

Our triple shredded hardwood mulch, dyed mulch options, and premium bark blends help your garden thrive by:

  • Retaining moisture, so you water less

  • Suppressing weeds before they take over

  • Protecting roots from summer heat

  • Adding curb appeal with a clean, finished look

Plus, mulch breaks down over time, feeding your soil with organic matter.

Tip: Apply 2-3 inches of mulch around trees, shrubs, and garden beds—but keep it a few inches away from plant stems to avoid rot.


Topsoil: A Fresh Start for Every Bed

Starting a new garden or refreshing an old one? Don’t overlook your soil! Our screened topsoil and garden mix soil are perfect for:

  • Flower beds

  • Raised beds

  • Vegetable gardens

  • Lawn leveling and reseeding

Rich, loose soil is the secret to growing healthy plants. We deliver it in bulk—no heavy lifting bags required.


Gravel & Decorative Stone: Beauty Meets Function

Gravel and decorative stone aren’t just for looks. They’re incredibly useful for:

  • Garden pathways

  • Drainage solutions

  • Erosion control

  • Modern landscape designs

Choose from pea gravel, crushed stone, river rock, and more to match your home’s style and your project needs. Durable and low-maintenance, gravel is a smart long-term investment for any yard.
