Ceres has two sister companies that are leaders in arboriculture management. The Ground Up (Texas) and Ceres Mulch (Minnesota)—are premium manufacturers of high-end mulches, specialty soils and composts, all created from vegetative and agriculture waste. Our soil products are now expanding on a national scale and are being used by the University of Texas for re-forestation efforts after large wildfires and are endorsed by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
In New Zealand, Ceres runs a full-scale recycling operation able to recycle roughly 87% of all demolition materials that come out of buildings such as concrete, steel, masonry and wood.
Our materials recycling businesses are synergistic with our disaster recovery services. These centers enable us not only to be good stewards of the environment and minimize waste streams, they also allow us to keep a dedicated stable of heavy equipment such as large grinders and screens that can be employed after a wind, flood or seismic event.
The Ground Up is Texas’ premier producer of high-end mulches, composts and specialty soils and is a quality distributor of nursery plants throughout the Houston area.
TGU takes in clean vegetative and agricultural waste in the form of unwanted trees and brush as well as organic fruit and vegetable wastes and reduces this material through mechanical grinding. Following strict quality control standards, the material “ages” in place and undergoes further processing that leaves rich organic material full of minerals and nutrients which replenish soil and plants.
