Compost, Mulch & Soils
Rich, Blended Soils That Will Grow On You.
Living Mulch is a 50-50 blend of mature compost and hardwood mulch. It combines the properties of slow-release fertilizer found in manure compost with the insulating properties of hardwood mulch. Both elements assist in water retention and evaporation reduction.
Garden & Lawn Blend is composed of Manure Compost, Sandy and Clay Loams and a small percentage of Granite Gravel Dust. It is rich in nutrients and minerals which build the microbial content, which in turn, incorporates these elements into the humus complex of your garden or lawn.
Mulch & Compost that’s locally made.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Planting services to set you trees up for success.
Even the best trees won’t thrive if they are planted incorrectly. They need to be set up for success.
We have the equipment, knowledge and years of experience planting trees in the Hill Country. When we plant trees, we include a cubic yard of compost of large trees (lesser amounts for smaller trees) as well as root stimulating fertilizer pellets as part of this service. We can also provide deer-proof tree surrounds if requested.
Many of our trees have 48” root balls weighing several hundred pounds. We can handle these large trees very efficiently and with a minimum of damage to lawns because our skid steer has rubber tracks which do not leave ruts like wheeled equipment. But, keep in mind: tree planting is kinda like making an omelet for breakfast….you have to make a mess before the pretty stuff shows up. One of the lessons learned in kindergarten (Sam is a 1948 graduate of Mrs. Watson’s Private Kindergarten School of Denver City, TX) is that when you make a mess, you clean it up yourself. We follow her training when we plant your trees.
Our billing rate for tree planting services is $125 per hour with the clock running from the time we load your trees until we finish your installation at your site. This rate includes Sam & a helper plus the equipment & accessories needed for the job. If rental equipment may be needed, it’s cost will be a ‘pass-through’ item. Normally, planting takes about one hour per tree once we get the equipment and trees unloaded.
