Compost Attributes for Gardens & Landscapes

There’s a reason why compost is a go-to product for gardeners and landscapers:

  • Boost Soil Fertility: Compost is rich in natural nutrients, organic matter, and beneficial microorganisms, promoting strong, healthy growth.
  • Encourages Natural Activity: The microorganisms found in compost introduce natural organisms into poor-quality soil, which boost soil health.
  • Eco-Friendly & Easy to Use: Our compost product is 100% natural, sustainable and safe for children and wildlife.
  • Improves Moisture Retention: During dry spells and warm weather, compost helps retain and disperse water to turf and plant roots.

 

Where to Use Garden Compost

Compost is a multi-purpose product used across a range of gardening, turfing and landscaping projects:

  • Turf Installation: You can blend compost into your base soil when preparing the ground for turfing, for faster root establishment.
  • Lawn Topdressing: Apply a thin layer of compost to refresh tired turf and stimulate new growth.
  • Garden Beds & Borders: Enrich your soil for beautiful flowers, healthier shrubs, and tastier vegetables.
  • Soil Improvement: Use compost as part of your ongoing lawn and garden care routine for continuous results and healthy growth.

 

Installing Compost

Simple, effective, and instantly beneficial for soil and turf. Here’s how to apply compost to your garden:

  1. Prepare Your Soil: Remove debris in your existing soil and loosen compacted areas with a garden fork.
  2. Apply Generously: Spread compost evenly over the surface you’re working on.
  3. Incorporate or Topdress: Work into the soil before laying lawn turf or grass seed, or apply as a fine layer on existing lawns.
  4. Water In: Watering your compost will release nutrients and microbes, allowing them to filter into the soil naturally.

Compost Delivery Precisely Where You Need it

With George Davies Turf & Stone, the product is only half the story. The delivery is just as important.

For your compost order, we will provide a nominated dispatch day and a time slot for your delivery. Our friendly drivers will let you know when they’re on route and use lorry-mounted forklift trucks to place your compost bag(s) exactly where you want them (within reason) – gravel drives, long, narrow tracks and rear garden deliveries are not a problem.

Our forklift trucks measure 2.6 metres wide and weigh 2.5 tonnes empty, which we consider when reviewing delivery options. They are also all-terrain trucks and can handle any location (subject to customer agreement). High fences, unfortunately, cause a few problems as we can’t climb over them. But we will always endeavour to find the best solution.

If you would like the bags to be split, so compost is left in a pile or scattered around a particular area, we will accommodate as much as possible, as long as access is good and you have a sharp knife available.

What is garden compost?

Compost is a natural soil improver made from decomposed organic matter. Rich in nutrients and beneficial microbes, compost enhances soil health and provides a slow-release source of food for turf and plants. Unlike synthetic products, compost feeds both your lawn and the soil ecosystem, creating a balanced environment where turf can truly thrive.

 

What’s the difference between compost and topsoil?

Compost is composed entirely of decomposed organic matter. This is what makes it highly fertile and nutrient-rich, feeding your turf, plants, and soil all the goodness they need to grow healthily. While topsoil also contains key nutrients, it also consists of natural earth, minerals, and some organic matter, which benefit turf laying, root establishment, and successful grass growth.

What are the benefits of compost?

  • Sustainable & Eco-friendly: Compost is a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution that provides your turf and soil with all the high-quality nutrients they need to thrive and survive.
  • Increase Organism Population: Compost is filled with essential microorganisms. When added to existing soil, these organisms work their way into the soil to break down and release nutrients.
  • Continuous Food: Compost is a natural food that increases soil health as well as turf and plant growth throughout the year.
  • Water retention: Compost is excellent for storing and releasing water without waterlogging your lawn. This is extremely helpful during dry spells and warm temperatures.

 

How do I use compost?

When using compost within your flowerbeds or when laying new turf, we recommend 2-3 inches of top-quality compost. Add a layer of compost to the surface of the area and work it into the top layer of soil.
