Compost & Seed Services

Establish fast vegetation and stabilize slopes with nutrient-rich compost paired with seed. We install with blower trucks for even coverage and quick results on residential and commercial sites.

Bare soil washes out and budgets follow

Thin topsoil and steep grades shed rain. Seed dries out, washes downhill, and germination stalls. Each storm carves rills that become repairs, delays, and change orders. A surface that cannot hold moisture will not hold seed. You need uniform organic cover that keeps seed in place, improves infiltration, and builds a living skin over the site.

Why more projects choose compost plus seed?

Better starts

Compost holds moisture and nutrients around the seed so shoots emerge quickly.

Cleaner runoff

Organic cover improves infiltration and reduces sediment leaving the site.

Consistent coverage

Blower placement reaches far and lays an even layer that performs.

What exactly is Compost & Seed?

A compost erosion control blanket combines nutrient-rich compost with high quality seed to create a germination bed that stabilizes soil. We can top-dress compost with seed mixed in, or work compost into existing soil to raise organic content before seeding.

We understand deadlines, slopes, and inspection pressure

You need vegetation that takes the first time. Our crews size the application rate, match seed to the site, and install with calibrated blower equipment. We place material with control in difficult access areas so you get coverage that passes the next storm and the next walkthrough.

DIY seeding vs partnering with Superior

Hand spreading creates thin and thick spots. Wrong rates mean seed dries out or runs off in the first rain. Our blower placement produces even depth, correct seed contact, and cleaner edges. That saves rework and gets you to compliance faster.

"Superior applies Compost & Seed for more than slopes"

Retaining wall backfills and cut slopes
Landscape beds and disturbed areas that need quick cover
Roadside and utility corridors that require erosion control

What are the steps to install Compost & Seed?

1. Site review
Measure areas, note slope and soil, and confirm access.
2. Mix and rate
Choose seed blend and set compost depth for the goal of the area.
3. Professional placement
Blower trucks place compost evenly. Reach is up to dozens of feet from the vehicle which reduces site disturbance.
4. Seed and finish
Seed is blended into the compost or incorporated into the topsoil. Light rake where needed for contact.
5. Aftercare
Water on schedule and limit traffic until growth is established. Early fall is often ideal for installation. Early spring also works.

More About Compost & Seed

Compost & Seed - FAQs

Compost holds moisture, adds nutrients, and improves seed to soil contact which speeds germination and canopy formation.

Early fall is often best. Early spring is also a good window when weather allows.

Rate depends on slope, soil, and goals. We set depth during estimating so coverage is uniform.

Yes when designed correctly. The goal is to reduce sediment and establish vegetation quickly which improves water quality.

Yes. Blower equipment places material accurately from the truck to distant or confined areas.

Square footage, application rate, seed blend, and site access are the main drivers.
