Buffalo's Finest Clay is Given the Boot


After years of work and countless hours in the yard, a new customer of ours became fed up with the lack of productivity in her gardens. She selected beautiful plantings which were properly installed and maintained. But her garden beds never grew-in to the flourishing collage of colors as she had hoped. This season, she finally gave up on weeding, as the compacted clay in her garden beds held roots too firmly in place. The solution was easy to see: In order to fix the garden beds - we had to fix the soil. Whether building a patio, getting an education, or planting a tulip, a good foundation is essential for best results. By removing the thick layer of nutritionally barren clay and replacing it with an aerated compost, soil and sand mixture, plant roots will be free to spread and absorb all the nutrients needed to support a vibrant and healthy plant.

We hope to have an update on this one next season!
