Environmentally friendly Jackpot Topsoil is the newest product available at Cold Creek Nurseries. The private-label topsoil is a collaboration between Cold Creek Nurseries, Humble Acres Organics and G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking.

The partnership has been years in the making. Cold Creek’s Landscape Maintenance crews have been using G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking in Graniteville to haul yard debris from jobs. In the spring of 2020, the nursery began carrying I Can’t Believe It’s Chicken Manure Compost, which is produced by Humble Acres Organics in Blackville, S.C. 

Now, the three companies have joined forces to create a quality product that is environmentally friendly and locally made. Cold Creek owner, Bill Tiszai, explains: “Jackpot Topsoil is a full-circle process.” 

To create the topsoil blend, Cold Creek provides yard debris to G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking, where it is composted and sand is added to provide good drainage. Then, Humble Acres Organics mixes in their nutrient-rich chicken manure compost and bags the product. It is then delivered to Cold Creek Nurseries, where it is sold to customers and used by the Cold Creek Landscape Design and Maintenance departments.

G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking President, Lisa Wilson, says: “Rather than adding yard debris to a landfill, we are able to compost it and create a product that can be put right back into the earth. Composting allows these materials to break down in a matter of months rather than years of sitting in a landfill.” 

Tim McCormick, owner of Humble Acres Organics, adds: “Our chicken manure compost is an excellent addition to the topsoil blend because it provides more calcium, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium than other manures, which aids in exceptional plant growth. All of our Southern soils need more calcium.”

Tiszai says: “We are proud to offer a superior product that is made locally and reduces our environmental impact.” 

Jackpot Topsoil is available for purchase in 50-pound bags at Cold Creek Nurseries. It is also available for bulk delivery and installation.
