Overview
About The Ground Up
Founded in 1994, The Ground Up (TGU) began with a simple goal: to supply the industry with the finest quality mulches and soils. Over the years, that mission evolved into a full-scale operation rooted in sustainability, innovation, and excellence. Today, we manufacture premium mulches, soils, and compost designed for performance and environmental responsibility, producing the highest-performing products at a market-competitive price while maintaining an unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship.
At TGU, we transform green vegetative waste into nutrient-rich mulches and soils, keeping thousands of tons of material out of landfills every year. Beyond manufacturing, we operate a wholesale nursery and a state-of-the-art packaging facility, serving contractors, garden centers, municipalities, homeowners, and plant enthusiasts across Texas. We believe in building lasting relationships across the green industry, supporting everyone from co-ops and small-scale farmers to DIY gardeners. Our success is rooted in integrity, consistency, and a promise to always overdeliver—where quality products and sustainable practices grow together.
