Aguinaga Grinder




Here is an inside look at the heartbeat of one of Aguinaga's large green landscape material grinders.
 
Maintenance is carried out daily to make sure the moving parts of this equipment are lubricated and all material reducing components are properly tightened before this one thousand horsepower machine is turned loose on inbound material.
 
With the machine canopy closed on top of the mill you see here, trimmed shrubs, branches, leaves, and tree trunks are dumped in a funnel like surround by CAT front wheel loader tractors.  The result is as much as 600 cubic yards of material per hour being ground and then ready to begin the composting process.

Soil Analysis for Locally Grown Strawberries

Many of us drive by local agriculture on our daily drive. 

What you may not know is that Aguinaga not only supplies everything from various cover mulches to specialized soil amendments, but also is actively involved in the Agriculture industry supplying amendments that enrich the soil and aid in robust growth and positive results.

Here Roger Aguinaga - president of Aguinaga Green and Garn Wallace of Wallace Labs, inspect roots of strawberry plants to evaluate their condition. To do this, soil is analyzed as well as plant tissues in order to evaluate the plant uptake of nutrients and any requirement or deficiency that may be evident.

There is no soil that can not be amended



Seldom is any soil found in an ideal condition for general planting.
Aguinaga regularly analyzes soil samples provided to us by surrounding theme parks and cities, landscapers, and our local customers.
Usually the simple blending of amendments will correct deficiencies such as soil compaction, condition the soil relative to porosity, aeration, and percolation - and as well augment low levels of nutrients.
With few exceptions there is virtually no soil that can not be amended.
