Florida’s sandy soils don’t give your lawn much to work with. That’s why even the best turf can look thin, stressed, or patchy. Our Top Dressing & Composting service rebuilds the foundation — delivering organic matter and living biology that makes your lawn greener, stronger, and more resilient.
Safe for Families, Pets, and Pollinators
Greener, Thicker Turf – A fuller lawn that looks lush year-round.

Peace of Mind – 100% organic compost, free of manures and biosolids, safe for kids and pets.
Adds Value – A consistently healthy lawn elevates curb appeal and property value
Sandy soils lack organic matter. Compost adds carbon and structure, improving the soil’s ability to retain water and nutrients.
Microbes do the heavy lifting. Compost fuels beneficial soil biology that strengthens roots, suppresses disease, and improves resilience.
Resilience in the heat. Lawns treated with compost recover faster from drought, heavy rains, and everyday wear.
