Biochar

Revive Your Roots with Biochar that Brings Soil to Life.

What is Biochar?

Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material created by burning forestry byproducts like branches and chips in a low-oxygen environment. This ancient technique improves soil health, locks away carbon, and lasts for centuries.

History of Biochar — Ancient Roots, Modern Uses

Biochar was first used in the Amazon to create rich, living soils. Today, we use that same wisdom—turning Utah’s forest byproducts into long-lasting, soil-building carbon.

How Biochar is Made — How it’s Made

We burn our forests’ wildfire mitigation slash in a low-oxygen kiln, transforming it into porous charcoal. This stable carbon stores nutrients, supports microbes, and lasts for hundreds of years.

Charge your biochar with compost or fertilizer — Charge Before Use

Uncharged biochar can steal nutrients from your soil. **Charge it first** by mixing with compost or fertilizer and letting it sit 2–4 weeks. Then it’s ready to feed your soil—not take from it.

Make a

Difference

Pre-charge biochar with compost or nutrients.
Mix into soil at 5–10%.
Add compost (1:1 with soil).
Soil + Biochar + Compost = Fertile Soil.

Cut Hazardous Trees

On hazardous mitigation projects we clear forest floors and cut trees that are dead and/or impact homes.
Transport Materials

After a tree is cut and sectioned, it is transported to our yard for processing.
Burn Wood

Wood that does not qualify for firewood, wood chips, or timber is used for biochar. It is burned at a high heat, doused, mixed, sifted, then quality tested.

Is BioChar Right for You?

Biochar offers a wide range of benefits for both individuals and businesses. Here are some key reasons why people around the world are using it:

Soil Improvement: While not a fertilizer, Biochar enhances soil by improving structure, boosting water retention, promoting plant growth, raising pH levels, and supporting beneficial microbes.
Increased Crop Production: Studies show Biochar can suppress diseases in plants like tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and asparagus, while increasing crop yields for chrysanthemums, tomatoes, lettuce, and basil.
Carbon Sequestration: Biochar captures and stores carbon in the soil, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.
Improved Water Quality: It helps filter pollutants from water and reduces the impact of agricultural runoff, while also enhancing water retention and drainage.
Reduction of Greenhouse Gases: Biochar reduces methane and nitrous oxide emissions from soils, contributing to lower agricultural pollution and overall greenhouse gases.
Balanced Soil pH: Biochar neutralizes acidic soils, making them more suitable for agriculture.
Waste Management: It can be made from organic waste materials, offering a green recycling method and reducing waste.
