Owen Tree Service proudly participated in the 2026 MGIA Show in Novi, Michigan, where the company hosted a booth highlighting two of its most in-demand landscape products: certified playground mulch and premium organic mulch. The event brought together professionals from across the green industry, including landscapers, property managers, municipalities, and suppliers, all eager to discover the latest products and services available to Michigan’s landscaping and grounds maintenance community.
The MGIA Show, organized by the Michigan Green Industry Association, is one of the region’s premier gatherings for landscaping professionals. It provides a valuable opportunity for companies to connect with industry peers, showcase innovative solutions, and discuss best practices for maintaining safe, healthy, and visually appealing outdoor environments. Owen Tree Service was excited to be part of this year’s event and to share its commitment to high-quality, locally produced mulch products.
At the booth, visitors were able to see and feel samples of Owen Tree Service’s certified playground mulch. This specialized mulch is carefully processed to meet safety standards designed for playground environments. The product is engineered to create a softer, more impact-absorbing surface beneath playground equipment, helping to reduce the risk of injury from falls. Schools, municipalities, childcare centers, and park departments showed particular interest in this product, as maintaining safe play surfaces is a top priority for community public spaces and school playgrounds.
The company’s organic mulch was also prominently displayed and generated strong interest among landscapers and property managers attending the show. Produced from natural wood materials, this mulch offers multiple benefits for gardens and landscaped areas. It helps retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, suppress weed growth, and gradually improve soil health as it breaks down over time. Attendees appreciated the product’s natural appearance and environmentally friendly production process.
Throughout the event, representatives from Owen Tree Service spoke with dozens of visitors about how quality mulch can improve both safety and landscape performance. Many conversations focused on how locally sourced mulch products can provide reliable quality while also supporting sustainable practices. Because the company processes wood materials through its own operations, it can maintain close control over the consistency and quality of the final product.
The booth also provided a chance for the Owen Tree Service team to build new relationships and reconnect with longtime customers. Landscapers and contractors stopped by to discuss upcoming projects, while municipal representatives explored options for playground upgrades and seasonal mulch applications. These conversations highlighted the growing demand for dependable suppliers who can provide both product quality and responsive service.
Participating in the 2026 MGIA Show reinforced Owen Tree Service’s role as a trusted partner within Michigan’s green industry. Events like this allow the company to stay connected with the professionals who rely on its products every day, while also sharing knowledge about the benefits of properly processed mulch.
As the landscaping season approaches, Owen Tree Service looks forward to continuing those conversations and helping customers across Michigan create safer playgrounds and healthier landscapes with certified playground mulch and organic mulch.
