The days are getting hotter. Time to protect all the plants and bushes you planted this Spring. To protect plants from heat, you need to add mulch. A thick layer of mulch ( at least 4 to 6 inches ) helps insulate the plant’s roots from both heat and cold. It will also help keep the soil moist.

We offer a variety of quality topsoil, mulch, compost, blends and straw for commercial and residential landscaping and gardening. Our RSSY Blends (70% hardwood fines and 30% Bloom DC Water’s Class A exceptional biosolids product) is a great alternative to compost, providing organic matter as well as nutrients to stimulate improved plant growth of all kinds including turf, flowers, trees, and vegetable gardens.

Ideas on Upgrading Your Spring Outdoor Landscape

April 4, 2023
Northern Virginia residents, RSSY, Rock Stone and Sand Yard has super ideas on ways to pretty up your Spring outdoor landscape.
 
1. Plant ornamental trees or shrubs and make them a focal point using stones, pavers and mulch.
2. Replace your old tired mulch with a red or pine bank mulch. Colored mulch is one of the easiest ways to add both color and texture to your entire yard. Next to a green lawn, colored mulch is a great contrast that our customers love.
3. Add some edging along your walkways and garden beds. If your lawn just seems to morph into your shrubbery or threatens to take over your front walk, some unique stone edging could perk up your yard. No pruning, cutting, or watering required.
4. Create a focal point that’s all About You. Time for a patio and outdoor firepit for these chilly Spring evenings. RSSY has many designs to choose from.
 
Call (703) 339-8095 or stop by the Yard and speak to our sales people about your own passionate ideas, and let us give inspiration by adding color and texture to your Spring landscape.
