Sustainable Landscaping is here!
If you’ve been paying attention to today’s landscaping trends, you’ve probably noticed that sustainability is taking center stage. Homeowners and professional landscapers alike are realizing that what we put into the ground matters just as much as what grows out of it.
That’s why we’re leading the charge on sustainability here in Ohio. From offerings like organic mulch for homes and gardens to larger green infrastructure projects for businesses or municipalities, we’re here to help Ohio create greener, healthier landscapes and ecosystems.
How Kurtz Bros. Supports Sustainability Practices
Sustainable landscaping isn’t just a trend. It’s a practice that helps outdoor spaces thrive while giving back to the environment. That’s why we prioritize natural materials like compost and mulch in favor of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides.
Organic mulches and compost come with all kinds of benefits:
- Both compost and mulch feed your soil, which improves soil health, feeds plants, and helps them grow stronger without the need for chemical fertilizers.
- A good layer of mulch improves water management dramatically by locking in soil moisture. It cuts down on the need to water while keeping soil and nutrients from washing away.
- Healthy soil bolstered by mulch and compost doesn’t require you to lean on synthetic fertilizers or pesticides—and that means no toxic runoff, cleaner waterways, and happier pollinators.
Sustainable soil is a simple idea: When we care for the earth, it takes care of us right back.
The Kurtz Bros. Commitment to Eco-Friendly Solutions
We don’t just talk about sustainability. We work hard to help you live it. Our products and services offer sustainable solutions for all of your landscaping needs.
Compost That Feeds the Earth
We offer several different varieties of compost that are screened and ready to use for everything from topdressing to backfilling or topping off garden beds. While benefits differ slightly among each type that we offer, all of our compost products offer an eco-friendly way to enrich your soil, improve soil structure, and improve water retention.
Our offerings include 100% organic composts as well as blends made from recycled yard waste, leaves, and composted ingredients from local farming operations, which not only makes for a rich finished product but also prevents tons of waste from entering the landfill system.
Mulch Made From Reclaimed Wood
When it comes to mulch, we offer a broad variety of options, most of which are made from reclaimed hardwoods. It’s another key way that we use recycling to keep waste out of landfills and produce a product that makes your lawn and garden greener and healthier. On top of that, our colored mulches use organic dyes so that you can get the look you want without worrying about introducing pollutants to your local ecosystem.

Recycling and Waste Dropoff
Speaking of keeping waste out of landfills, we make it easy for you to dispose of yard waste like leaves, grass, tree trimmings, shrubs, brush, and wood waste. You can drop off untreated, unfinished lumber scraps and yard waste at one of our many drop-off locations throughout the Cleveland, Akron, and Canton areas.
From there, we can turn it into mulch or compost. This prevents waste from polluting the environment or clogging landfills while creating a useful, sustainable product that promotes healthier lawns, gardens, and ecosystems.
Building Greener Infrastructure
We go beyond eco-friendly products like much and compost. Kurtz Bros. is also deeply involved in green infrastructure solutions designed to better manage stormwater. Our solutions include bioretention systems, custom soil blends, vegetative rooftops, rainwater harvesting, and more.
Rather than using conventional pipes and drainage systems, which can cause erosion and excessive runoff that pollutes local bodies of water, these technologies treat stormwater at its source. It’s a valuable way to preserve wildlife habitats and create greener, cleaner spaces for both recreation and everyday living.
