Compost
100% screened compost to mix into beds and lawns
This is straight compost: 100% finished organic matter, screened to take out sticks and clumps. It isn't meant to be planted in on its own. Mix it into your existing soil to loosen clay, help sandy soil hold water, and add organic matter, or rake a thin layer over a lawn as a top-dressing. If you want something you can plant straight into, pick Compost Soil, our topsoil and compost blend. Ingredients and texture vary by location.
Compost is 100% screened, finished organic compost you mix into soil, not Compost Soil, which is a ready-to-plant blend of topsoil and compost.
Also called: screened compost, organic compost, bulk compost, finished compost, garden compost, soil amendment.

I ordered fill dirt to grade around my house. The process was so simple! The driver met me where I wanted him to drop the dirt. I think I spent a total of 30 min with the ordering, paying, and the truck arriving with the material the day they said they would be there. I'm very pleased.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use the calculator with your area and depth. For beds, spread 2 to 3 inches and work it into the top 6 inches of soil. One cubic yard covers about 160 square feet at 2 inches deep, or about 320 square feet as a 1 inch lawn top-dressing.
Compost is 100% compost, a concentrated amendment you mix into soil you already have. Compost Soil is a blend of topsoil and compost that's ready to plant in. Pick Compost to improve existing beds and lawns. Pick Compost Soil to fill new beds.
It's not a good idea. Straight compost is too rich and too loose for most plants on its own, and it settles a lot as it breaks down. Mix it with your existing soil, or order Compost Soil if you need a ready-made planting mix.
Yes. Rake a 1/4 to 1/2 inch layer over the grass, ideally after aerating, so it settles down around the roots. It's a common way to build up thin or compacted lawns.
Finished compost has an earthy smell, like a forest floor. A strong sour or ammonia smell means compost isn't finished. The smell fades within a day or two of spreading.
By dump truck, straight to your property. The driver dumps it in one pile where you choose. Pick a firm, level spot the truck can reach, clear of cars and overhead wires. Delivery is included in the price you see.
