What They Say About Us
Bloom is great. Organic content goals were met, and the customer is very pleased. We will use Bloom on other sites and continue to recommend it to our commercial project partners.”
Kathleen Griswold,
Project Manager, Denison Landscaping
When planting in urban sites, soils are often quite degraded. Bloom is the most potent soil conditioner available to improve soil quality. Bloom also fits well with our sustainability goals as a recycled, “buy local” product.
Earl Eutsler,
Associate Director, DDOT Department of Urban Forestry
This was our first job with Bloom and we got better results than I think we’ve ever seen, and certainly never so quickly! We did core aeration and overseeding of an existing lawn with poor, claylike soil and within seven days the tall fescue grass was jumping. Anyone trying to establish grass should consider using Bloom.
