We are a third-generation family-owned and operated business founded in 1967. Paul Zeager operated a sawmill in Southcentral Pennsylvania. His son, Charles, evolved the business to include producing and selling wood mulches for a variety of applications. In the 1970’s, we developed a natural landscape mulch that was aged and blended to use around plants. The idea was to conserve soil moisture, insulate the soil from temperature extremes and limit weed growth. And today, that is still so much of what a good landscape mulch should be about.
