THE BEST LANDSCAPES START HERE
Nobody brags about their supplier; they brag about their yard, their job site, or their finished project. We get that, and honestly, that's just how we like it. Champion Mulch and Landscape Supply started in 2008 as a small operation with one truck, helping snow removal crews around Dayton keep their gear running through the night. We were the ones answering the phone at 2 a.m. during a blizzard, not because we were forced to, but because that's just who we are.
Customers started asking for salt, then mulch, then topsoil, and more. We said yes every time. We opened our first landscape supply lot in 2012 and just kept going. We didn't look back. Today, we're the largest landscape supply company in Southwest Ohio, with four locations serving Dayton and Cincinnati. We grind and color our own bulk mulch, and we carry top-notch topsoil, fertilizer, decorative stone, hardscape materials, salt, ice melt, and professional-grade landscape supplies for every season.
We've grown into one of the largest mulch manufacturers and salt importers in the region, but we haven't forgotten what it's like to be a small-business owner trying to make ends meet and deliver results on a tight budget. That understanding is built into everything we do. Whether you're a landscape pro who needs a reliable supplier to make your crew look great, or a homeowner who wants a yard worth showing off, we're here for one reason - to make you look good.
