Landscape Materials

A Complete Guide to Landscape Materials for Your Northeast Ohio Property

Choosing the right Landscape Materials can make a major difference in the appearance, performance, and maintenance needs of an outdoor project. Since 1980, Savarino Brothers has served homeowners, contractors, landscapers, property managers, and businesses from its Oakwood Village garden center with premium bulk mulch, topsoil, gravel, decorative stone, plants, and dependable delivery.

Among the products available from Savarino Brothers, bulk mulch is one of the company’s core specialties. The current selection includes hardwood, cypress, cedar, and dyed mulch, along with newer 2026 choices such as color-enhanced cocoa mulch and triple-shredded all-bark black mulch.

Other products include regular screened topsoil, premium topsoil mix, humus, unscreened fill dirt, gravel, decorative stone, trees, evergreens, shrubs, fertilizers, and soil amendments. Many products are available in bulk, with convenient bagged options also available for select materials.

Customers can visit the Oakwood Village garden center to compare products in person or arrange bulk delivery throughout many communities in Cuyahoga, Summit, Geauga, and Portage counties.

Bulk Landscape Materials: Mulch, Topsoil, and Gravel Explained

Different Landscape Materials serve different purposes, so selecting the right product should begin with the goal of the project. Mulch is commonly used around trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, and planting beds. Topsoil supports lawn repair and planting projects, while gravel and limestone can provide drainage, structural support, driveway surfaces, and decorative accents.

Bulk Mulch

Premium bulk mulch is a major part of the Savarino Brothers product line. Mulch gives garden beds a finished appearance while helping conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth. Hardwood mulch is a versatile choice for many planting beds, while cypress, cedar, and dyed varieties give customers additional options for texture and color.

For 2026, Savarino Brothers added color-enhanced cocoa mulch with a deeper dark-brown appearance and triple-shredded all-bark black mulch for customers seeking a premium bark-based option.

Topsoil and Humus

Topsoil products are important for lawn repair, planting beds, raised gardens, grading, and other outdoor projects. Savarino Brothers offers several distinct options rather than a single general-purpose soil.

• Regular screened topsoil for lawn repair, sod preparation, planting beds, and general landscaping.
• Premium topsoil mix containing topsoil, compost, soil conditioner, pumice, and sand for enhanced drainage and root support.
• Humus for improving soil structure, nutrient content, moisture retention, and existing planting beds.
• Unscreened fill dirt for filling low areas, rough grading, backfilling, and other non-planting uses.

Gravel and Decorative Stone

Gravel and stone are durable choices for areas that need drainage, a stable base, a driveway surface, or decorative contrast. Savarino Brothers carries #57 washed gravel, #57 limestone, #8 washed gravel, limestone screenings, and other options.

The 2026 lineup also includes #3 bluestone gravel, and special-order decorative gravel is available for select projects when customers need a product beyond the standard stocked selection.

Calculating Landscape Material Volumes and Planning Delivery

After selecting your Landscape Materials, measure the project area before ordering. Accurate measurements help estimate the volume needed and can reduce the risk of ordering too little or significantly more material than the project requires.

For mulch projects, Savarino Brothers provides an online mulch calculator. Enter the shape, dimensions, and desired depth, and the calculator estimates cubic yards, cubic feet, and common bag quantities.

For rectangular areas, a standard volume calculation can also be used: multiply the length in feet by the width in feet, multiply by the desired depth in inches, and divide by 324 to estimate cubic yards.

When these products are needed in larger quantities, bulk delivery can simplify transportation and installation. Savarino Brothers provides delivery throughout its published Northeast Ohio service area and recommends contacting the garden center if your town is not listed because delivery may still be available.

For 2026, the company’s updated delivery fleet can carry up to 25 yards in a single load. Savarino Brothers also states that same-day and next-day delivery continue to be available, subject to scheduling and availability.

Choosing the Right Landscape Materials for Drainage, Soil, and Aesthetics

The best Landscape Materials depend on what you need the finished area to accomplish. A planting bed has different requirements than a driveway, drainage area, raised garden, or decorative border.

If you are unsure which materials fit the job, Savarino Brothers encourages customers to call or visit the Oakwood Village garden center. The staff can explain product differences, availability, and delivery options based on the project.

Maximizing Your Landscape Investment with Soil Amendments and Seasonal Care

The value of quality materials continues after installation. Mulch may need to be refreshed as it breaks down or fades, while topsoil and humus can be incorporated into future planting and lawn projects as needed.

Savarino Brothers also carries fertilizers and soil amendments at its garden center. Because soil conditions and plant requirements vary, customers should select these products according to the specific lawn, garden, or planting need rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all application rate.

For seasonal planning, mulch can be used to refresh beds and protect the soil surface, while topsoil products can support lawn repair, sod preparation, and new planting areas. Gravel and stone generally require less frequent replacement but may need occasional raking or replenishment depending on use.
