Testimonials
"We compared BLP starter soil #1A with another brand's starter soil. The difference was shocking. The starts in the BLP soil were strong, consistent and very healthy looking while the starts in the other brand's soil were weak, uneven and under-developed. We will never mess around with any other soil. Beautiful Land Products has been proven to be the premiere soil supplier for any serious grower.
Competing brand vs. BLP starter soil (right)
— Bethany Fischer, Iowa Grown Market
“Beautiful Land Products is an Iowa gem. I feel so lucky to be farming so close to the facility. The C3, organic soil mix from BLP is the go-to soil for soil block transplant production. I start over 100,000 transplants each year that goes into feeding vegetables to over 200 families.
To have a source of local soil for good transplant production is a huge deal. The soil is consistent, affordable and local. BLP has wonderful customer service and is easy to work with. I honestly don't know what I'd do without BLP and the C3 mix. It is the foundational building block for production on my farm.
— Kate Edwards, Wildwoods Farm
Our History
Beautiful Land Products was founded in 1985 by Dave Sickles, and at the time focused mostly on potting soil. Over time, the business expanded into all areas of horticultural supply, from greenhouse structures and covering to inserts, pots, and trays, to fertilizers and soil amendments, to irrigation and watering equipment, to hydroponic growing media and hydroponic supplies.
As the business continues to develop, new soil recipes have arisen to meet the demands of the expanding organic farming movement in Iowa. In 2018, Beautiful Land Products began growing native prairie specimens and offering planting and consulting services for those plants. In 2019, we began serving Iowa’s medical cannabis market.
Today, Beautiful Land Products supplies organic farmers, professional growers, independent garden centers, and prairie enthusiasts all across Iowa, and throughout the Midwest. As a small business, we focus on exceptional service and building strong relationships with our customers. We continually update our product line and are committed to continuing education as the science of farming and horticulture continues to develop and adapt to a changing world.

BLP Winter Holiday Hours
As the days draw closer to solstice, we check in one more time with our native plants. They don’t really die in the frost, they simply go to sleep for the winter. For now we have what looks like a snow mound, but is actually hundreds of hibernating native plants, wrapped in their winter blanket […]

Surviving the Storm ☁ Poly Sale, Plant Sale

With more people staying home, and many facing food insecurity, it’s a great year for everyone to get into gardening – and from what we can tell, that’s exactly what everyone […]
