TAGRO Products and Pricing
Proven safe and effective – and awarded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s highest rating for use in landscaping, vegetable gardens and indoor container gardens – all-natural TAGRO products are made from a blend of pasteurized wastewater byproducts called biosolids and other weed-free gardening components.
Potting Soil
Price: $35.00 per cubic yard
Considered the best of the best. Our Potting Soil helps potted plants develop strong root systems, which are vital to the performance of container-grown plants.
Make up: 20% “Class A—Exceptional Quality” biosolids, 20% high-quality sawdust and 60% aged bark.
Bagged Potting Soil is available to purchase at our TAGRO Facility as well as a number of regional retailers.
Topsoil
Price: $28.00 per cubic yard
Our Topsoil is a four-way mix ideal for refreshing gardens and flower beds. It is an intermediary between native nutrient-barren soils and nutrient-rich manufactured soils such as TAGRO Potting Soil. TAGRO Topsoil adds organic matter and nutrients without decreasing porosity.
Aged Black Bark
Price: $31.00 per cubic yard
Black Bark serves as a low-nutrient ground cover similar to traditional beauty bark – except that it’s black. Our Black Bark is ground finer than traditional beauty bark making it more visually pleasing to most gardeners. Black Bark contains no biosolids.
Mix
Price: $15.00 per cubic yard
What we call “Mix” replenishes soil and helps jump-start plant growth. It features excellent organic soil conditioning properties to help pamper your lawn, flower beds, vegetable gardens and more.
Blend: 50% “Class A—Exceptional Quality” biosolids, 25% sawdust and 25% screened sand.

The Environmental Benefits of TAGRO
More residents in Tacoma mean more homes, more industry – and more waste. We have learned to view the waste as a resource. TAGRO helps us take recycling to a new level as we reuse what goes down our drains to benefit your yard, garden, and our shared environment. The City of Tacoma recycles about 4,000 dry tons of biosolids each year. This helps benefit our community by:
- Supporting Home Gardens, Community Gardens, and Food Banks
- Beautifying our parks and public green spaces
- Providing education opportuntities
- Incorporating into commercial properties such as playfields and golf courses
TAGRO is natural, sustainable, and affordable.
TAGRO’s Nutrients are Released Slowly
TAGRO’s unique formulation allows plants to use more nutrients, released slower over time. This means that fewer are wasted and leached into the enviroment.
Soil Conditioned with TAGRO Retains Water Better
The more water the soil retains, the less you have to pull out the hose or sprinkler. And that leaves more natural water flow in our rivers.
Plants and Trees Grow Bigger and Better in TAGRO
More vegetation means more shade and less soil erosion near creeks and rivers, making for healthy and clear water for fish and people to enjoy.
Community Gardens and TAGRO
Premium TAGRO products are used in community gardens throughout Tacoma and greater Pierce County. The City of Tacoma is proud to support local food production, community building, and equitable food access through the use of TAGRO as a sustainable local resource.
