Welcome to Paygro

About Us

Paygro , originally a division of the Mead Paper Company, was developed in 1972 to compost cattle manure from the Ohio Feed Lot. Since, Paygro has evolved into a major supplier to the horticultural, lawn, and garden industries with a diverse line of over 50 products. Paygro has a processing operation which bales and bags soil and mulch products.

Garick acquired Paygro in September 1998 to expand into the packaged bark and soil industries.
