Read Custom Soils is New England’s most experienced precision soil blender. The company operates from a state-of-the-art blending facility in Carver, MA, a second blending facility in Central Massachusetts, and a quarry in New Hampshire.
Read is New England’s leading provider of lightweight planting soil for green roof installations, stabilized stonedust for nature paths and pedestrian walkways, bioretention/raingarden soils, a proprietary blend ideally suited for challenging urban tree planting, and specialized soils for athletic fields.
Read is also the region’s leading provider of golf course materials, consistently serving over 400 courses throughout New England. Read offers multiple varieties of topdressing sand, bunker sand, rootzone mixes, divot mixes, colored sand, and our most recent golf product, Kiln Dried Topdressing Sand, all meeting USGA specifications.
The company’s newest soil solution comes through a partnership with Standard Biocarbon - introducing a purpose-made, single-source premium biochar product to the market. At over 90% carbon, this is a pure, premium-quality biochar. The porous structure of this material improves the soil’s water-holding capacity and provides surface area on which soil’s biological community can grow and thrive. This enhancement leads to healthier and more resilient trees, turf, and plants.
Read is dedicated to delivering superior quality products that are backed by years of experience and consistency, ensuring all projects succeed. Unlike others in the industry, Read provides in-house and independent testing to ensure that every delivery meets product standards and specifications.
Read Custom Soils is a division of the A.D. Makepeace Company of Wareham, Massachusetts.
