Natural Red Oak

The by-product of a lumber mill that produces red oak flooring. When fresh, the color is a light almost orange-brown color that will darken over several months. It has the ability to "mat-down" making it more resistant to washing away, and therefore can be used on slopes up to 45 degrees. It will also tolerate more leaf removal.

Cypress

From the white wood of the cypress tree and is bark free. Because cypress wood is porous, soft, long lasting and dries out quickly, it is considered by many as the premier play area material.

Compost Mix

Compost Mix is a 100% compost product (THERE IS NO SOIL IN THIS MIX). It is a mixture of humus and mushroom compost and is a slightly alkaline plant food and fertilizer that is ideal for tilling into the soil for flowerbeds or vegetable garden plots. It does not contain topsoil and should be liberally tilled into the soil (ideally 50/50). Many garden growers also use it as top dressing mulch.

Hummus

Mushroom compost with a neutral pH. It has outstanding water absorption quality, permitting absorption of 80% of its weight (by contrast clay allows only about 15%). Humus is a premium soil amendment used in preparing holes for planting vegetable gardens, ornamental shrubbery and flowerbeds or as a topdressing when seeding or sodding your lawn.
