Compost Spreading For a Healthy, Low-Maintenance Turf

Humus and partially degraded organic matter retain water in a 5Urface film that is still available to plants' root hairs, even after the free water has drained away from the root zone. Humus will continue to break down slowly over time, as weather conditions, nutrient availability and populations of microbes change.

Yes! Humus causes aggregates, or larger particles to form in the soil. This results in a coarser, texture if the soil is composed of clay, silt or loam = a better soil for plants that is more friable, looser, and drains more freely. The small grass root hairs will grow into the humus and organic matter, taking advantage of the added nutrients, beneficial microorganisms and retained water. A larger root system can support healthier top growth.

Continued top-dressing with compost will improve turfgrass stand, reaction to drought and resistance to disease. The overall health of the turfgrass, plus its increased root surface area, will reduce the necessity of chemical pesticide applications. Healthy turfgrass requires less maintenance.

We've got the equipment to spread compost on your turf so that its effects are evenly distributed—no “hot spots” or sparse areas. You'll soon see greener, thicker growth, depending on the time of year and growing conditions. Compost is safe for your children and pets and keeps our environment clean.
