Customers have been saying great things about our Axis premier soil amendment products:

“The natural porosity and durability of Axis makes it as near the ideal soil amendment as I've seen. And I've seen them all,"  
**-Vince Patterozzi, Designer of NFL Fi****eld in Baltimore**

"Seeing is believing! As part of a golf course grow-in, the establishment of greens is imperative and Axis has now become an integral part of our program. From this point on we will be using Axis on the remainder of the greens at Stone Creek Golf Course as well as recommending it on future projects. It is cost-effective and easy to apply. Axis is a slam-dunk."  
**-Peter Jacobsen & Jim Hardy, Jacobsen/Hardy Golf Course** **Design**

“I had twelve solid weeks of NFL players practicing on my fields, with not one bare spot at the end of the season.  Why would anybody, in their right mind, choose anything other than Axis in their root zone mix... it's a no brainer."  
**-Spin Martin, Head Groundskeeper, University of Tulsa**

“I wanted to write and let you know how happy and impressed I am with the Axis soil amendment and the treatments on our lawns.  We live in the heart of rock hard red clay country.  Over the long dry summer I only watered a couple of times!  My neighbors had their sprinkler systems set every few days and still had brown patches.  Our lawn never started to brown.  I am totally impressed and figure that I saved several hundred dollars in watering costs this summer. Since we had some good rains I’ve also noticed that the lawns don’t get so squishy anymore.  The drainage is greatly improved. Axis is worth every penny.  We also mix it with our potted plants and it helps to keep them from drying out so quickly.  GREAT STUFF! Thank you very much; this is the best investment I’ve ever made in yard improvements!”  
**-Mike, Oregon City, Oregon**

Axis has been rated the #1 soil amendment for beautiful greens. Here's a recent post to learn more: [EP Minerals Soil Amendments 101 Guide](https://blog.epminerals.com/how-soil-amendments-can-improve-soil-and-reduce-water-usage-0).
