Organic ground covers can work wonders in all sorts of landscaping projects. Available in many different varieties, their primary function is to condition the soil, improve its water retention capacity and discourage the growth of weeds.
For landscaping and gardening enthusiasts, these products hold special value. US Rock Corporation is an organic ground cover supplier in California. Here are just a few examples of the types of organics we carry:
Soil Amendments
Soil amendments are added to the soil to improve its physical properties and support plant life. Here are a few examples of our organic soil amendments:
a) Leafpost
Leafpost is composted trees leaves and tends to be rich brown in color. It’s a premium organic product screened to eliminate larger wood clippings and grinding byproducts. It works as an effective soil amendment or ground cover in various types of gardens or planting spaces.
b) Compost
This composted horse humus tends to be dark brown in color. As the name suggests, it consists of wood shavings and horse humus. Our compost undergoes extensive decomposition and is a 99% weed free amendment. It’s ideal for sod applications and flowerbeds.
Organic Soils
Organic soils are created by the decomposition of plant and animal material. Decomposition helps by creating a nutrient and mineral rich ecosystem with micro-organisms that improve soil fertility. Here are a few organic soils that we offer:
a) Garden Mix
The garden mix is dark brown to black in color. A mix of virgin sandy loam, coconut coir, and superfine leafpost, this is one of our more premium organic soils. Garden mix is perfect for vegetables, ornamental flowers, fruit gardens, and any new or existing planting area.
b) Succulent Mix
Succulent Mix is a custom organic mixture, which is dark brown to red in color. It’s an exclusive blend of our finest quality organics. Harmonized with natural drainage material, it’s also a great choice for drought-tolerant plants such as cactus, aloe, or any vegetation that requires soil with the ability to trap moisture and other nutrients.
Mulches & Barks
Mulch is a material that is layered over the surface of the soil. The aim is to help retain moisture, suppress the growth of weeds, and ultimately make the garden bed look refined. Organic mulches work best when they decompose and help improve soil fertility. Here are a few of the mulches and barks we offer:
a) Garden Mulch
Garden Mulch is essentially composted tree trimming, which tends to be brown in color. Garden mulch is most effective when applied to bare soil and around existing plants. Moreover, it works incredibly well as a water-retention topdressing and weed reducer.
b) Forest Floor
Like the composted tree trimmings, this product is also brown in color. Forest floor has a rough texture and is ideal for ‘woodsy’ designs. Besides its proven water retention and weed reducing properties, it looks absolutely perfect in any garden.
