We deliver this mix to gardeners in Lake Charles, Sulphur, and Moss Bluff every week. Here's what they use it for.
Raised Garden Beds
I tell people to fill 12 to 18 inches deep and plant the next day. No waiting. No amending. Ready as delivered.
Elevated Planters
This blend runs lighter than straight topsoil, so it won't crush planter walls or deck boards. Drains fast and holds nutrients between waterings.
Square Foot Gardens
Square foot gardening depends on consistent texture. Our blend has the same structure from top to bottom. No clumps, no dense spots that choke roots.
Herb Gardens
Basil, rosemary, thyme, and cilantro all need quick drainage. This mix drains fast and doesn't over-feed, which keeps herbs flavorful instead of leggy.
Container Gardening
Works great in half-barrel planters and large pots. Lighter than straight topsoil. Drains far better than anything in a bag at a big box store. And bulk is cheaper per yard.
School Gardens
Schools and community gardens in Lake Charles and Sulphur order from us regularly. Easy for kids to work with. Productive from the first season.

Raised bed mix is blended for one job: growing food and flowers in containers and raised beds. The ratio of topsoil, compost, and sand gives you drainage, nutrients, and structure right out of the truck. No mixing three products yourself.
The native clay around Moss Bluff and Westlake drowns roots in raised beds if you use it straight. This mix solves that problem. It drains well in our heavy rain seasons but holds enough moisture to keep plants fed between waterings through the summer.
Bulk delivery makes the math simple. One cubic yard fills a 4x8 bed about 10 inches deep. We deliver it to your driveway and you wheelbarrow it in. Costs less per cubic foot than any bagged garden soil at the store.
