The Problems Start Below the Surface

Most of what holds parks & recreation turf back is a soil problem: structure, water, and biology. Build the soil and the rest follows.

  • Heavy foot traffic and compaction
  • Limited or no irrigation
  • Tight maintenance budgets
  • Sandy or depleted soils
  • Struggling mature trees
  • Inputs that must be safe for the public

Turf + sod

  • Sod installations
  • Worn turf renovation
  • Athletic and open fields

Beds + plantings

  • Plant mixes
  • New plantings

Trees

  • Tree planting
  • Mature tree care

A beach community with extremely sandy soils treated roadside areas that had no irrigation. The treated areas looked as good as, or better than, irrigated areas, and old oak trees on the verge of dying put on new growth.

“We are a beach community with extremely sandy soils and have always had issues keeping enough nutrients to help the plants and vegetation stay lush. These are very harsh environments for growing without extensive irrigation. We tried Mirimichi Green products in areas where no irrigation exists and grasses must be moved on a regular basis. It was always questionable if those areas would survive the summer months. After using the carbon-based products along the roadways, the results were incredible and instantly noticeable. The treated areas looked good, if not better than some of the areas that are regularly maintained and had irrigation. In addition, we treated old oak trees that were on the verge of dying. We soon saw massive new growth (even on limbs we would normally prune) and bright green leaves. We are now using several products in new plantings around the island.”

FAQ

Questions From Parks & Recreation Pros

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Call (910) 602-1681 or browse all FAQs.

Is it safe for people and pets?

Yes. CarbonizPN is made from compost and USDA Certified Biobased biochar, and is safe for people and pets. Follow the label for application guidance.

Does it help where there’s no irrigation?

Customers have seen treated, non-irrigated areas outperform irrigated ones. Biochar holds water and nutrients where roots can reach them.

Can it help struggling trees?

Yes. Apply about 2 lbs. per inch of caliper. One municipality saw old oaks on the verge of dying put on new growth after treatment.

Can I use it with my current program?

Yes. Mirimichi Green products are powerful enough to stand alone, and they are safe to use alongside fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides.

Where can I buy it?

From 1,400+ distributor branches nationwide (best for most pros), online in small quantities, or by the supersack pallet with freight quoted to your site.
