Garden Supplies

At Reds, selection and quality are our top priorities. Whether you're looking for seeds, soils, fertilizers, tools, or information to keep your lawn and garden healthy and looking terrific, we have everything that you'll need in the Garden Shop.

We carry only the finest brands of bulk and bagged topsoil and soil amendments, mulches, pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and seeds; we do not carry gimmicks or products we know to be ineffective and a waste of money. Among the many quality products you'll find at Reds are Bayer Advanced™ disease and pest control solutions, Scotts® lawn care products, and Miracle-Gro® plant foods. Reds has also formulated our own custom blends of fertilizers and grass seeds for the conditions we face here in northern Illinois and the surrounding areas.

Choosing which fertilizer or grass seed to take home, how much to apply, and when to put it down can be challenging. That's why we're here! Come in or call us with your problems and questions – we can help!

Fertilizer by the Numbers

The three numbers on plant fertilizer bags represent nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (in that order) and how much of each is in the blend. Remember up, down, and around: Nitrogen, number one, goes up for a healthy green. Phosphorous, number two, goes down to the roots, and potassium, number three, promotes all around good health. Ask the plant pro at Reds which combination is right for your plants and specific gardening problem.

We are now carrying recycled tire mulch. You never need to replenish it. It is very soft and great for play areas. It helps take tires out of landfills and it gives us a great soft mulch that does not disappear.
