Soil is the most important resource for growing everything in your yard correctly. Knowing more about the Soil Structure, Soil Texture or the amount of Organic Matter in the soil will give you the proper information about plant selection and maintenance.

Soil Amendments will help improve the condition of the soil over a period of time. Don’t think that over night your soils are fixed. It took thousands of years to get the soil in your yard so be patient. Soil Amendments are available from us in many different forms, Compost, Peat Moss, Cow Manure and Planting Mix.

We sell Fafard Premium Peat Moss and Soil Amendments. Used by garden professionals, Fafard’s line of Professional Growing Mixes are formulated to maintain the proper balance of water and air that is essential to the good growth of plant material.
