Ponzani Landscaping in St. Clairsville this year started utilizing a process to recycle lawn waste from the past years jobs.

They hired an outside firm to grind up the yard waste. The firm brings in a huge tub grinder and runs the debris through the grinder twice to make it into a finely ground shredded material that is added to the topsoil.

This addition enriches the soil with nutrients and conditioners and recycles a product that previously would have been dumped, burned or buried.

The process makes Ponzani’s topsoil a much better product to use for landscaping and recycles many tons of debris that formerly would have had to be discarded.
