What’s the difference
between Premium Bark and BeautiBark™?
Rexius carries 2 "premium" barks, Premium Bark-o-Mulch
(Fir) and Premium Hemlock Bark. Both premium barks are
uniformly processed mulches that are 3/4 inch minus in
sizing. These give you a smooth finished appearance in
the landscape. BeautiBark™ is a fir bark that is a
fine grind. It performs well and looks nice, but may not
be as consistent of a product as the premium grades.

What soil should I use?
Rexius has recently re-designed its soil mixes in order
to perform well for specific uses. We carry three soils
that have three different uses as stated below.
- Flower n' Garden
Planting Soil (100% organic) – Use for flower and
vegetable gardens.
- Tree-n-Shrub Planting Soil (100% organic) – Use
for planting shrubs and trees.
- Premium Turf Start – Designed
specifically for laying sod or planting seed lawns.
All Rexius soils can be blown in place or blown with seed
injected in only one simple application. No more wheelbarrows!

Are commercial fertilizers
used in your compost and soil?
Rexius has made large strides in recent years to make
as many as possible of our products 100% organic. All Rexius
mulches are 100% organic including the compost and soil
products such as Flower n' Garden Planting Soil, Tree-n-Shrub
Planting Soil, Garden Compost, Garden Mulch, Chicken Compost
and Steer Plus. Only Turf Start, Patio Potting Soil, and
ClayBust-R- II™ are fortified with synthetic fertilizer,
in addition to organic sources of nitrogen, in order to
perform well for their particular use. Rexius fortifies
the 100% organic products with a few or more of the following:
bone meal, blood meal, kelp, feather meal, cotton seed
meal, organic minerals, mycorrhizal fungi, and a variety
of manure composts depending on the need and use for that
soil or soil amendment. A wide diversity of organic sources
is necessary to bring in the many different species of
microbes needed for healthy plant growth. All of our soils
and compost products are lab tested for nutrition and mineral
balance, and tested for proper biological balance in their
soil foodweb.

How do I know how much product
I need?
If you have an idea how deep you want to spread your mulch
or soil, all that is left to figure out is your total square
feet of coverage. Start by measuring each individual area
by itself by stepping off the length and the width. Each
stride you make is approximately 3 feet in length. Multiply
the length x width and you get the total square feet for
that particular area. Repeat the step for each area to
be covered, then add all the totals for your grand total.
(Note: Do not add all lengths and multiply by the total
of all widths. You will not have a correct total.) Give
our Service Representative a call with your total square
footage or use our coverage chart to figure total volume.
(i.e. 1 cubic yard covers 108 square feet, 3 inches deep)

How much volume can my pickup
hold?
A full size 3/4 or 1 ton pickup can hold 3 cubic yards,
slightly rounded, but product weight must be considered.
Most full size pickups can handle 3 yards of mulch, 2 yards
of compost or 1 to 1.5 yards of soil product. If hauling
rock product, a full size can handle between .5 and 1 cubic
yard. Never load more than what is reasonable or what your
vehicle is specified to carry. A smaller compact pickup
will haul about 1/2 what a full size pickup will carry.

How much does a yard of product
weigh?
Weights for our products will vary from winter to summer
because of the moisture content in the product. Typically,
mulch products will weigh between 500 to 800 lbs. per cubic
yard, 1000 to 1600 lbs. for compost, 1300 to 1600 lbs.
for soil mixes and 2500 to 2700 lbs. for gravel products.

How much is a cubic yard?
One cubic yard is a three dimensional cube that measures
3 feet wide, 3 feet long and 3 feet tall.

How much is a "unit"?
One "unit" equals 7.5 cubic yards.

Why should I buy from Rexius?
For one, Rexius stands behind all our products for their
intended use. Rexius products are lab-tested to insure
that they will perform to the highest standards in the
industry. We don’t take shortcuts or cheapen our products
for the sake of "the sale". In addition, our
service is second to none. We pride ourselves in the way
we treat our customers. We realize that our customers deserve
a quality product and good service, and if problems do
arise, we do everything possible to address them promptly
and fairly. We are open to any comments or suggestions
that you may have to improve our performance.

Do you sell firewood?
At one time Rexius sold large amounts of firewood each
year and offered delivery service by the cord. In recent
years, as supplies for raw materials declined and use of
wood for heat declined, we restricted our sales to fuel
pellets. These are available at our direct sales yard at
1250 Bailey Hill Rd., Eugene.
