FAQs
My shrubs in Chesapeake keep dying, and I have standing water in my yard. What materials from Robbin's can help?
These are common local issues often related to poor soil drainage and quality. Our premium, screened topsoil can improve drainage in low spots and provide a better growing medium. Adding our compost helps aerate heavy clay soils common in the area, promoting healthier root systems. For wet areas, using our mulch can help regulate soil moisture after the drainage is corrected. We recommend starting with a soil test, and our team can help you select the right blend of materials to address both problems.
Why does Robbin's test its topsoil and compost?
We test for pH levels and organic content to ensure consistency and quality. Proper pH is critical for plant health, affecting nutrient availability. Good organic content improves soil structure, water retention, and fertility. By testing, we guarantee you're getting a product that will support your plants, not hinder them. This is especially important for Chesapeake's varied soils, giving homeowners and professionals a reliable, predictable material to work with.
Do you still offer landscaping services, or do you only sell materials?
We transitioned our focus in the late 1990s to specialize as a supplier of screened landscaping materials like topsoil, compost, and our on-site produced mulch. While we no longer provide full-scale installation services, we supply the quality materials that local contractors and landscapers depend on, and we're happy to offer guidance to DIY homeowners on how to use our products effectively for their Chesapeake landscape projects.
