The Fairmount Organic Recycling Center - Philadelphia's Certified Landscapers

Our locally-made compost is packed with organic matter and beneficial microbes that improve soil structure and health. When worked into dead or thinning areas, it enhances water retention, provides essential nutrients, and stimulates new root growth. This creates a stronger, denser lawn that naturally resists future bare patches, which are common in our local soil conditions.

For effective weed suppression in our area, we recommend a coarse, shredded hardwood mulch. It forms a dense mat that blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds, a common problem in local mulch beds. Our premium mulch also retains moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering and helping your desired plants outcompete weeds naturally.

Absolutely. Mixing our compost into your Philadelphia garden beds in the fall is an excellent strategy. It enriches the soil with organic matter and nutrients over the winter, leading to healthier, more vigorous plants in spring that are better equipped to resist pests and disease, giving you a head start on the growing season.
