Compost
Compost releases nutrients slowly, contributes to soil structure, and helps with water retention and drainage. Compost may be applied year-round and is especially beneficial in the fall and spring.
WM EarthCare™ Homegrown Compost, approved for organic farming, is made from Bay Area yard trimmings and residential food scraps at our Covered Aerated Static Pile (CASP) composting facility in Marin County. It is popular with Sonoma and Napa vineyards as well as home gardeners, landscapers and municipalities.
WM EarthCare™ Chico Compost is made from yard trimmings from the City of Chico's residential curbside collection and fall leaf collection programs, along with organic materials dropped off by landscapers and homeowners.
Mulch
WM EarthCare™ Mulch is made from 100% recycled, clean, untreated lumber recovered and processed at our facilities in Alameda County. WM EarthCare™ Mulch does not contain wood stumps or branches, eliminating the risk of Sudden Oak Death or Brown Apple Moth disease. Coarsely ground to 2″, screened and dyed with naturally occurring colorants, our mulch is safe for children and animals and is guaranteed to retain its color for one year.
Soil Blends
WM EarthCare™ Soil Blends act as nature's helpers where the use of natural soils is undesirable, or where on-site soil conditions are unfavorable. Each blend is designed to optimize aeration and drainage while also providing the bulk content needed to satisfy a specific landscape or horticultural application.
Hardscape
Eschew quarried rock for the environmental and economic benefits of recycled aggregate. Using aggregate from locally sourced and recycled concrete reduces the carbon emissions and expense associated with virgin materials and diverts reusable materials from landfills.
Lawn Conversion
Transform your lawn naturally using cardboard, compost and/or mulch and eliminate the waste – and back-breaking labor -- of digging up the lawn. Depending on your local water supplier, you may be eligible for a rebate.
