Reliable Landscapers in Salem, OR 97317 - Recology Organics

Our compost is rich in organic matter and beneficial microbes that revitalize tired soil. When mixed into your existing lawn or used as a top-dressing, it improves soil structure, increases nutrient availability, and enhances water retention. This creates the ideal foundation for new grass seed to germinate and for existing grass to thicken up, naturally crowding out bare spots common in our local climate.

For drainage issues, we recommend our premium garden blend or a coarse compost. Adding generous amounts of this organic material to your soil helps break up compaction, increases pore space, and allows water to percolate down more effectively. This amends the dense clay common in the area, reducing surface pooling and creating a healthier environment for plant roots.

Absolutely. While our mulches are great for moisture retention in garden beds, using a coarse woody mulch in problem drainage areas can help reduce soil erosion from surface water flow. For lawns, a fine compost mulch can be used as a nutritious top-dressing to improve soil health. We can help you select the right mulch or compost product for your specific Salem yard challenge.
