Rochester sits along the Cocheco River corridor at a modest 232 feet of elevation, where sandy loam soils drain quickly after the region's nearly 49 inches of annual rainfall. That fast drainage makes organic mulch less of a luxury than a necessity for keeping moisture where ornamental plants can actually use it. Known proudly as the Lilac City, Rochester has a genuine culture of ornamental gardening, and the glacially influenced terrain across much of Strafford County means quality screened topsoil is a frequent need for raised beds and uneven lawns. Our deliveries reach neighboring Somersworth and Dover, as well as Portsmouth, where customers face these same sandy drainage and seasonal soil challenges across a wide range of residential and commercial landscape projects.
