LYNGSØ Information

Lyngso was founded in 1953 by John and Mary Lyngso. We’re still a family-run business, but today we’re also employee-owned. Many of the folks you’ll meet here have been with us for decades. All of us are passionate about gardening and helping you make the world a more beautiful place. Our site in San Carlos contains everything from sands, pebbles and boulders to tools and soil mixes. Lyngso has the materials and expertise to satisfy the largest contractor as well as the personal approach to guide the homeowner on his/her first landscaping project. We enjoy participating in community projects and have always sought to provide what our community needs, whether that means materials or information. It is our goal to remain a valuable resource to landscapers throughout the Bay Area. Lyngso has evolved its landscaping business to include organic, sustainable and regenerative gardening practices. We can assist you with any project, from raised garden beds to helping you improve the biology of your soil. As a certified Bay Area Green Business Innovator, we are powered by 100% renewable clean energy and we strive to offset our carbon emissions. As an environmentally conscious business, we pride ourselves in encouraging our community to recognize the benefits of organic and sustainable gardening. In fact, we have become renowned for carrying a unique line of organic soil improvements, ranging from locally brewed actively aerated compost tea to special composts, humus, soil mixes, and mulches. Many of our team members have undergone training in soil biology. Throughout the 70+ years of Lyngso’s existence, we have expanded the size and scope of our operation. However, one value remains constant: Service. This concept is not just an important part of our business but is the heart of our business. We pride ourselves in helping customers use our products to make the world a more beautiful place.
