The natural topsoil produced by nature is actually more mineral-dense than a lot of the topsoils you can buy in the store. There are two types of topsoil you can buy:
- Blended topsoil: a mixture of mineral material and organic matter
- Organic topsoil: shredded wood and moss
If the topsoil in your yard or garden is damaged or low in nutrients, it will need to be replaced with high-quality soil. At Chiles Enterprises, we only use carefully chosen topsoil to add to your yard and garden in order to get the best results possible. We will till the ground before adding to the soil to make it easier for roots to penetrate the ground and soak up the water and nutrients.
Most residential lots are not properly leveled because they need to be slightly sloped downward so that the ground moisture can run away from your home, garage, or driveway. This is the exact reason why most residential concrete cracks over time. The moisture collects next to the foundation of the structure and expands/contracts when it freezes and thaws, causing the concrete to soften and crack.
Property leveling includes filling up the holes in the ground (for example if your landscaping features have been removed). It helps level the soil so that it doesn’t contain too much moisture only on specific areas, helps your landscaping features remain leveled and stay in the straight line and it provides many other additional benefits.
Have you ever driven by a chunk of dirt that looks like it was spray-painted bright green? This is hydroseeding. The green you see is a dye that is added so it’s easy to see where the seeds have been sprayed.
The benefit of hydroseeding is that the grass will grow extremely fast. The properties of hydroseed allow it to hold up to 10 times its own weight in water. There are also concentrated nutrients and stimulants added to the liquid spray that allows the seeds to take root before they get washed away.
If you want to get some grass on some dirt in a hurry, hydroseeding is the best way to go!
