Redwood Products

Pine/Fir/Cedar Products

Sequoia Label Products

There are five decorative bark products differing only in particle size. These products are derived predominantly from pine and fir trees. These products contain very little wood and are graded for both minimum and maximum particle size in each category. All are used as ground cover to provide all the mulching benefits as well as esthetic value.

Small Decorative: 1/4" - 3/4" particle size. Used effectively in smaller areas and containers. Minimum rate of 3 cu. yds. per 1000 sq. ft.

Medium Decorative: 3/4" - 1-1/2" particle size. Suggested for use in medium to large planting areas. A rate of 5-6 cu. yds. per 1000 sq. ft. is good.

Large Decorative: 1-1/2" - 2-1/2" particle size. For use in larger planting areas or open space. Less likely to blow in windy areas. A rate of 6-7 cu. yds. per 1000 sq. ft.

Walk-On Bark: 1/8" - 1" particle size. A fibrous material containing some granular bark and cambium wood. Usually more economical than other decorative bark but used at the same application rate. Texture will vary with moisture content. Provides a forest fragrance.

Pine Ground Cover: 0" - 1" particle size. A pine bark mulch material. An excellent material for walkways, rose gardens and pathways.

A Landscape Revolution - Colorscape II is made from recycled wood chips and maintain their luster up to five times longer than typical wood chips or mulch. Colored with natural elements, these chips resist fading and discoloration.

True Colors - Colorscape II is available in a variety of colors. Standard colors include Cherokee Red, Miners Gold, Cherry Brown and Forest Green. Colorants can be mixed to match corporate colors or to compliment architecture.

Colorscape Chips: 1/2" to 1 1/2" particle size, Used effectively in all planting areas to enhance esthetic value.

Colorscape Mulch: 0 - 1" particle size. An appealing ground cover for walkways, rose garden and slopes. This fibrous material locks together and stays in place in windy areas.

The following products listed by description are derived from the sempervirens species of the Sequoia Redwood tree.

SINGLE GRIND REDWOOD BARK: This is a fibrous, stringy textured, dark red colored product. It is very good for general mulch application. Particle size range is 95% from 1" to 3" with some fibers being longer.

REDWOOD SHAVINGS: This product is derived from the surfacing of lumber at the sawmill sites. This lightweight wood material is about a 1/2” particle with some fines. Used primarily for general landscape soil preparation and as an organic amendment for container mixes.

REDWOOD SAWDUST: This product has a very uniform particle size with 95% passing 1/4"sieve size. This sawdust is sawmill source in origin. This grade of material is ideal for use in fine textured nursery mixes.

REDWOOD COMMERCIAL MIX: This is a blend of redwood wood and bark material which has been ground and screened and averages 3/8"particle size. Nitrogen and iron have been added for fortification. This product is used as a soil amendment where uniform texture and longevity of organic material is desired. An application of 4 to 6 cubic yards per 1000 square feet is standard.

SUPER SATURATOR
An organic chemical agent

Super Saturator is an organic compound which is non-ionic, biodegradable, and non-toxic.
A long-chain hydrocarbon compound containing chemical solvents and coupling agents with wetting and re-wetting agents. Years of development have made this the most effective product of its kind!

WHAT DOES IT DO?
When added to water, it instantly causes a molecular change, reducing the surface and interfacial tensions from approximately 115 to 75 dynes.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
I. Pre-wetting organic materials: Bark, sawdust, peat moss, mixes - 1-3 ounces per cu. yd.
II. Pre-wetting straw for mushrooms: 2 gallons of agent per 1000 gallons of water.
