Soil building systems, clay, and dirt are all valuable landscaping components. Systems like those from Soil Building Systems (SBS) offer customized, often organic, soil amendments like compost and specialized mixes to improve soil structure, fertility, and water retention. Clay, while sometimes dense, retains water and nutrients well, and can provide structural support. Dirt, especially screened black dirt, is a cost-effective base material and can be blended with compost and SBS products to create rich planting mediums. Combining these elements allows landscapers to tailor soil conditions to specific plant needs, creating healthy and thriving landscapes.
