A Down to Earth Application

While TXI's ES&C is primarily known for its application in the fields of masonry, highways and roads, geotechnology, and structural concrete, many newcomers may be surprised to learn that ES&C is also a fundamental ingredient in maintaining and improving productivity in the field of horticulture. TXI's ES&C is:

  • Environmentally friendly, made from natural material
  • Improves drainage and aeration
  • Non-toxic and odorless
  • 100 percent inert, inorganic
  • Will not compress, degrade, decompose, or react with agricultural or horticultural chemicals
  • Retains a high percentage of its weight in absorbed water, giving it the ability to release the water to the root system at a later time

ES&C is also extremely user-friendly, as it is:

  • Lightweight
  • Easy to handle
  • Economical
  • Readily available

Some common uses include:

  • Soil conditioner (landscape mixes, roof gardens, plants, trees, potting soil, etc.)
  • Soil amendments for turf (lawns, athletic fields, polo fields, horse tracks)
  • Decorative (ground cover)
  • Mud stopper (Horse stalls, pens, walkways, fill-in for low wet problem spots)
  • Walking trails, running tracks
  • Herbicide and fertilizer carrier
