Black Loam

Black loam is a very black screened soil with a peaty texture. Best used for top dressing for seeding lawns as it holds moisture and has very little weed growth. Also, it is often used as a top dressing for flower gardens to give a dark look if you have chosen not to use mulch. Of course, mulch is always your best choice for weed control.

Gro-Turf®

Gro-Turf® is a screened rich blend of composted materials that is high in organic matter and beneficial soil microbes. It can be applied with or without seed in a topdressing program. Gro-Turf® has excellent moisture retention, which promotes water holding for overseeding. Gro-Turf® has been specifically designed to attack and break down thatch, a layer of both living and dead plant material that accumulates around the base of grass plants. This helps to eliminate heavy thatch build-up, which encourages root grow-in and nutrient transfer - keeping your lawn looking healthy and green!
