Start With the Right Material.
Whether you're improving soil, preparing a lawn, building a pool base or handling general construction work, each material serves a different purpose. Hover over any image for a quick description and common-use guide.
Compost
A dark, organic material with a loose, fibrous texture produced from decomposed organic matter. It is commonly blended into existing soil to improve its overall condition.
Common Uses: Amending garden and landscape soil, improving soil structure and moisture retention, adding organic matter to planting beds, top-dressing established areas, and blending with topsoil for gardens and raised beds.
Construction Sand
A coarse, naturally colored sand containing a mix of fine sand and small aggregate particles. Its varied texture provides good workability and drainage while still compacting reasonably well.
Common Uses: Concrete and masonry work, bedding material, paver and block installation, trench backfill, leveling, drainage applications, and general construction projects.
Pool Sand
A fine, relatively uniform sand with a smooth texture and light tan-to-beige coloration. Its finer consistency makes it easier to spread, grade, and create an even surface.
Common Uses: Swimming pool base preparation, leveling beneath pool liners, filling low areas, and other projects requiring a smooth, finely graded bedding material.
Top Soil
A general-purpose soil material with a fine-to-medium texture, intended to provide a workable growing layer for lawns and landscape areas.
Common Uses: Filling and grading yards, establishing or repairing lawns, raised beds, landscape beds, filling low spots, and providing a soil base before seeding or planting.
