Success Stories

Environmentally Friendly, Economically Sound

There’s no debate about the fact that our natural resources are a precious commodity. So when innovation and technology can be combined to preserve them, it’s a benefit to everyone. Kurtz Bros., Inc. specializes in developing leading edge technologies for the beneficial reuse of materials that might otherwise end up in already bulging land-fills. The value of this important work cannot be understated as Americans generate over 210 million tons of trash per year. Working closely with Ohio State University and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Kurtz Bros., Inc. produces a variety of products used in the landscape and construction industries.

Providing recycling solutions to large corporations and municipalities Kurtz Bros., Inc has helped Ford Motor Company, the City of Cleveland, the City of Columbus, International Steel Group, the City of Akron, and others reduce their impact on the environment in a safe, economical way.

In a recent success story Kurtz Bros., Inc. supplied specially engineered topsoil for the roadside improvement associated with the widening of Som Center Road. Seeded in the heat of summer and without irrigation, noticeable turf grass establishment could be seen within just ten days.

As illustrated, high rates of germination and rapid establishment of turf grass have been achieved using Landscaper’s Blend Top soil from Kurtz Bros.


In addition to Landscaper’s Blend Topsoil, Kurtz Bros., Inc. produces EarthPro™ topsoils, mulches and compost, several popular sizes of aggregate from recycled concrete and brick and more.

Currently, Kurtz Bros., Inc. is developing environmentally beneficial solutions for local and national Green Building Coalitions and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Building positive working relationships with these organizations, their engineers, and the contractors completing projects, Kurtz Bros., Inc. hopes to find economic alternatives to building and road construction methods that will benefit the public and the environment.
