Why compost is great for New Lawn Prep

Improves soil structure, reduces compaction, and improves aeration
Improves moisture retention in sandy soil, while conversely improving drainage in compacted clay soil
Adds natural nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to your soil
Those beneficial microorganisms help prevent lawn diseases
Compost is near neutral in pH so it raises the pH of acidic soils, a common problem in clay
Likewise, the neutral pH of our compost will lower the pH of basic or alkaline soils
Rich compost minimizes the need for fertilizers and lime during establishment, and we always recommend fertilizing and liming based on the feedback from a soil test (you may still need to lime if you're planting Tall Fescue, so run that soil test!)
Plus, it's full of natural nutrients that fertilizers can’t offer.

Once your lawn is established, we recommend yearly topdressing with our compost, to keep improving your soil and feeding your lawn. Topdressing with compost will take the place of one fertilization per year.
