McGill has a well-established customer base in bulk sales to the landscaping, construction, and erosion-control industries, as well as bulk and bagged sales to soil products retailers.

Merry Oaks Facility Facts

Operations

McGill utilizes a proprietary modification of the aerated static pile composting process that has served as the scientific standard for the industry since it was developed at Rutgers University. Computerized-control of the air delivery and extraction system optimizes composting conditions by maintaining ideal temperatures for the specific microbes responsible for biodegradation.

McGill accepts and processes residuals from municipal, industrial and agribusiness generators. All feedstocks must be pre-approved to meet regulatory and internal acceptance protocols. 

Compost Products

McGill’s line of branded Premium Compost products includes McGill SoilBuilder, McGill SportsTurf, McGill LandscapeMix, McGill ErosionControl and McGill AG. Each has been developed to meet the needs of specific professional markets. We have over 50 authorized resellers in the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic states, including landscape supply yards, landscape contractors and erosion control companies. McGill is a proud participant of the US Composting Council’s Seal of Testing Assurance program, which dictates product quality standards and testing requirements.
