The Power of Advanced Machinery
C&M Topsoil is a dedicated composting and chipping facility, where an influx of recycled materials from various municipalities surrounding Los Angeles comes to be processed. In a city where environmental sustainability is increasingly important, C&M Topsoil ensures that the waste collected from these municipalities is broken down and returned to the surrounding communities in Southern California after being transformed into high-quality landscape materials. Their recycling process not only reduces landfill waste but also provides organic, pesticide-free, and chemical-free products that landscapers, gardeners, nurseries, and homeowners alike can rely on.
To keep up with the vast amounts of material they process daily, C&M Topsoil has invested heavily in state-of-the-art machinery from Powerscreen of CA, NV, & HI. In their upper yard, the company relies on a CBI 5800BT horizontal grinder and a Terex Ecotec TTS 620T trommel screen. These machines are essential for chipping and grinding incoming organic materials into mulch and compost. The CBI 5800BT is known for its powerful grinding capabilities, efficiently handling large volumes of green waste, while the TTS 620T trommel screen is perfect for screening and separating the finer organic materials into finished products ready for use.
The 5800BT horizontal grinder features a rotor width of 48”, a diameter of 40”, and a shaft of 6”, which is key to ensuring the efficient processing of their wood waste. The TTS620T boasts a 6’7” x 18’1” drum, ideal for screening through the compost and mulch.
In their lower yard, C&M Topsoil operates an Evoquip Cobra 230 and a Powerscreen Chieftain 1700X. These machines focus on breaking down aggregates and gravel, providing landscapers and construction companies with essential base materials for various projects. The Evoquip Cobra 230 is known for its portability and compact design, making it a perfect fit for smaller spaces without compromising on performance. The Powerscreen Chieftain 1700X, on the other hand, offers high-capacity screening and is designed for efficient separation of materials, giving C&M Topsoil the ability to produce a wide range of aggregate sizes.
Versatility in Operations
C&M Topsoil’s fleet of machines, purchased from Powerscreen of California, Nevada, & Hawaii, was chosen not just for their power but for their flexibility. The ability to switch between applications, from grinding green waste to breaking down gravel, this makes their operation highly versatile.
“IT’S

Joe Cervantes elaborates on this, stating, “We can use themachines we’ve purchased from Powerscreen of California,Nevada, & Hawaii for multiple applications. Whether it’sgrinding, chipping, or breaking down gravel, there are justso many possibilities. It has been nothing but a blessing toour business.”
One of the main reasons C&M Topsoil invested in these machines was their easy setup and use. The machines can be moved across the yard with minimal effort, allowing the team to adapt quickly to changing demands. This flexibility has proven crucial for keeping up with the needs of the greater Los Angeles area, where demand for high-quality landscaping materials remains consistently strong.
