We sell top quality LIVING soil, topsoil and compost delivered to your home in large bulk tote bags. Our soils have been carefully blended and crafted with actual organic and living soil components to insure that the soil is the best possible.
Our soils, topsoils and composts are inoculated with a live culture of beneficial soil microbes to insure high concentrations survive to revitalize your lawn or garden. Each year we kill large amounts of soil microbes when water our lawns
with chlorinated city water and by overuse of chemical fertilizers. Our dry Alberta clay based soils are very low in Microbes due to low organic content.
Don't look at garden centres or those other colourful big bags of soil you see around the city, the stuff they sell is most made from peat moss and sawdust with a bit of soil, compost and sand thrown in to colour it like dirt. this stuff is usually devoid of living soil microbes and organisms..sure it looks nice, but it's the garden equivalent of junk food, with very little nutritive value or microbes.

Have you got a old tired horse pasture that will not bounce back. Grass will not grow no matter how long you keep the horses of of it ? Does it have bald patches, dips, pits, mounds and erosion gullies. Infested with weeds and unwanted grass, plants and other vegetation ?
We offer a unique set of solutions to replace, restore, repair and rejuvenate your tired old pasture. We can reseed new grass directly into existing sod/turf with our no till seed drill to revitalize your old grass/graze with excellent results.
In most cases the soil and plants in your pasture are loosing vitality. Intensive use by horses can result in the depletion of nutrients, loss of critical soil microbes and a build up of toxic salt in the soil. Once this happens, the soil must be treated and fixed as the soil will not support regeneration of grass until that is dealt with.
Did you know that almost all so called "horse graze" mixes sold on the market were designed for cattle, NOT horses . Horses require less carbohydrates and sugars for proper health. Use of high sugar or high protein graze mixes developed for dairy cows or to fatten cattle or can cause severe health issues for horses. We carry 3 of the world's best horse grass mixtures. |

Simply the best firepit available in North America.
Sick of smoky firepits ? look at this proven design that burns hot with a minimum of smoke. Very high user satisfaction in both style, design and function. This is the original design everyone is trying to knock off. Solid heavy thick steel construction, built to last a lifetime unlike local cheaper knockoffs that are made from thin rolled steel that burn through in less than a year.
How do you tell if it's a knock off ? simple if the unit is painted (often black) it's a cheap imitation. Sojoes burn very hot and the paint will simply burn off so they are not painted like cheap thin steel chinese units that fall apart in less than one season.
Remember, you get what you pay for, if the unit you see looks similar but is half the price, there's reason why. Sojoes last for a lifetime.
On the market since the 1960's

A quick overview of our services and productsOld Lawn Renovations We are able to offer a number of solutions to fix your old, tired lawn:
Top Dressing - Top dressing with compost or top soil for lawns, acreage's, parks, commercial lawns, and sport fields. Rejuvenates old tired and compacted lawns. We can reseed, recondition the soil and fertilize all at the same time. Adding high quality liquid compost infusions or "compost tea " which is amazingly beneficial to your tired old lawn.
The soil microbes in the infusion will restore beneficial soil microorganisms that fix nitrogen, aerate and digest organic matter important to plant health. We kill large volumes of soil microbes every year by using chlorinated city water for watering our lawns and also by starvation when we remove the cllppings, often the only source of organic matter our lawns will ever get. Lawns top dressed with compost or treated with compost tea infusions respond very well and do better than lawns where chical fertilizers are used. Chemical fertilizers send the lawn into overdrive and deplete the soil quickly, the lawn then deteriorates and can't be restored by adding more seed or yet more damaging chemical fertilizers. Once a lawn gets to this state both the soil and lawn require a major renovation to restore it.
Verticutter / Slash Seeding - Need your old lawn reseeded ? Our top of the line Lawn Renovator/verticutter performs a number of functions at the same time on your existing lawn, such as dethatching, aeration, seeding below the surface and resurfacing old lumpy compacted soil. Verticutters also cut through the matted surface roots (stolons) that reduce water penetration and create and hold the brown thatch layer that makes your lawn look dry and brown. Thatch is not caused by lawn clippings, it is made up of dead roots and turf plants which are high in tannin and cellulose that are difficult to decay. The verticutter cuts and works up this layer with rows of vertical slicer blades and deposits new seed under the surface. This unit will do an awesome restoration of your old lawn..plus we can seed with lower maintenance Eco Grass at the same time for a more Eco logically friendly lawn. Much more cost effective way to renew your lawn than replacing it with new soil and sod.
Eco Grass Sod - New this Year ! We are now offering a new fine fescue sod that is both Eco logically friendly and much less maintenance than traditional Kentucky Blue Grass (KBG) sod. More Drought tolerant and requires less fertilizer, water and care than KBG sod.
Note: We are not a sod farm, all of our sod is for installation by our company only, we do not offer sales for do it yourself installs.
Hydroseeding - We do our hydroseeding different than most other companies. We use very high grade seed and very large seed ratios , up to 6 times the amount our competitors use. We also treat the soil with amendments and add organic enzymes and nutrients.Why do we do this ? Hydroseeding is mostly done as cheaply as possible with low grade cheaper seed, no additives and low seed volumes to keep the profit ratio higher for the applicator. Poor results are very common in Alberta as we have high clay and alkaline soil which reduces germination success. Our applications always use a lot more seed for near sod like results. The soil treatments we use are unique and basically destroy the binding and alkaline agents in clay ..this makes a huge difference Organic Restoration and Reseeding - This is a unique process and produces very dramatic results for old lawns. It also works well for old unproductive horse pastures.
The process involves using a high volume of liquid Organic amendments like ultra enzymes, soil softener, compost tea, microbe infusion, natural sugars, soil enhancer's, PH balancing products and many other cutting edge natural biological enhancements that fix, revitalize and restore microbial activity to old exhausted soil. We often reseed the entire lawn with Eco Grass and top dress it with high organic mass compost as well...the result is a dramatic pulse of organic activity and explosive growth of both the old lawn and new seed. People with 50 year old near dead lawns have been amazed that their old lawn looked like new in a matter of weeks. The new lawn will be much lower maintenance and require less water, herbicides and fertilizers.We can combine any of the processes above to solve specific needs including both top dressing and hydroseeding over old lawns or Verticutting slit seeding and top dressing for enhanced results.
