Red pecan shells are brought in directly from farmers in southern New Mexico and are a great way to celebrate New Mexico agriculture in style. Pecan shells are a great alternative to gravel in xeriscape design, as pathways, and make terrific mulch for rose beds and potted plants. Using pecan shells rather than rock can reduce evaporative moisture loss and may help keep your yard a little cooler during the hottest days of summer. Municipal projects across New Mexico are replacing volcanic rock with pecan shells because of their advantages for sustainability, and you can too!

Pecan shells give the garden a rich, finished, professional look!
Lightweight easy to move. A beautiful dark brown nor red as depicted. I got 2 yards saved more. I can always use it next year.
I love this natural mulch! It does make a difference for keeping the soil from drying out And it looks great!
Fantastic product and looks fabulous! Thank you for the quick delivery as well.
Fast delivery, awesome service, great product!!
Great delivery and product.
We are enjoying the beauty that the pecan shells bring to our front lawn while accenting the bricks of the house.
Soilutions delivered much more than the pecan shells I ordered.
Antonio, the delivery technician and I noticed a problem with the load in his truck.
We immediately stopped and I foolishly hurried to get a tool from my yard and immediately did a face plant on the sidewalk. Antonio immediately came to my aid.
We finished the unloading with no problems.
Thank you Antonio for your wonderful service!
Neighborhood reviews glowing, excellent delivery as carefully placed for maximum efficiency in spreading. Have recommended!
