Sweet Peet®: The “Topcoat” Your Lawn and Landscape Will Thank You For

If you’ve ever wished your mulch could look great, help your plants thrive, and actually improve your soil over time… you’re going to like Sweet Peet®.

Sweet Peet® isn’t your typical “bag of bark.” It’s a premium, all-natural organic mulch and soil conditioner that does more than cover the ground – it actively supports healthier soil, stronger roots, and a more resilient landscape.

And here’s the best part for this season: it’s an ideal topcoat to apply now through winter to help set your lawn up for success in the spring.

What is Sweet Peet®?

Sweet Peet® is an all-natural, odorless organic mulch/soil conditioner that’s already composted and cured – meaning it’s ready to use immediately. No waiting, no “hot compost,” no funky smell!

Think of it like this:

• Mulch that beautifies

• Compost that conditions

• A soil-builder that keeps working

It holds its rich color, resists crusting, and avoids the mold/fungus issues many homeowners run into with other organic mulches.

Why use Sweet Peet®?

Because most soil is hungry.

A lot of lawns and landscapes are nutrient deficient. Fertilizer can keep them going – but it often acts like a quick meal. Sweet Peet® is more like improving the pantry and the kitchen.

What it does for your lawn and landscape:

• Continuously feeds plants as it breaks down (slow, steady nutrition)

• Improves soil structure (better root environment)

• Encourages beneficial soil life (microbes + earthworms = healthier soil)

• Balances soil pH toward near-neutral (helpful in both acidic and alkaline conditions)

• Helps retain moisture during dry stretches

• Naturally suppresses weeds by smothering weed seeds and making the surface less inviting

Where Sweet Peet® Shines: Common Uses

Sweet Peet® is incredibly versatile. Homeowners use it for:

• Mulch for gardens and landscapes

• Soil conditioner to improve fertility and structure

• Lawn seeding topdress (great over seed)

• Container gardening

• Raised-bed gardening

• Vegetable gardens and fruit trees (safe for edibles)

The seasonal advantage: Why topcoat with Sweet Peet® now?

C&S offers Sweet Peet® as a topcoat this time of year because it’s a smart way to “bank” soil health before spring.

Applying now helps you:

• Add micronutrients to the soil (beyond standard fertilizer)

• Support healthier microbial activity so the soil ecosystem is stronger

• Help your fertilizer work better when spring applications begin

• Go into spring with a lawn that’s primed instead of playing catch-up

How to apply Sweet Peet®: Simple Tips

For trees and shrubs

• Spread 3–4 inches deep across the area under the canopy (within the drip line)

• Taper it so it doesn’t touch the trunk/stems

• Reapply once a year

• If you see mounding after years, remove some old material before topping off

For flower beds and borders – apply a consistent layer to reduce weeds, hold moisture, and feed roots all season

For new plantings – when planting trees/shrubs, mix Sweet Peet® into the backfill soil to give roots a healthier start and ongoing nutrition

For lawns (topcoat application) – applied as a topdress/topcoat to enrich soil and support better growth heading into spring

The bottom line – if you want a lawn and landscape that doesn’t just look better, but actually gets healthier from the ground up,  Sweet Peet® is one of the best upgrades you can make.

It’s clean, natural, easy to use, and it keeps paying you back in soil quality, moisture retention, weed suppression, and steady nutrition.
