Why Wrentham customers choose our screened compost

Compost is organic material that has broken down into a rich, soil-like product. It adds organic matter, which helps sandy soil hold water and helps heavy soil drain.

Screening to a quarter inch removes chunks, so the compost is fine enough for top-dressing. In other words, it filters down between grass blades instead of sitting on top.

Popular uses for screened compost in Wrentham

Homeowners and contractors in Wrentham put screened compost to work in many ways. Here are the most common uses:

• Top-dressing lawns after aeration

How much screened compost does a Wrentham project need?

First, measure the area in feet and multiply length by width. Then multiply by the depth in inches and divide by 324. The result is cubic yards, which is how we sell screened compost. On a lawn, screened compost goes on about a quarter inch thick. In beds, on the other hand, work 1 to 2 inches into the top few inches of soil.

For example, a typical Wrentham job of about 500 square feet needs roughly 1.5 yards at 1 inches, or 3 yards at 2 inches. Still, round up by half a yard for edges and settling. Or call (774) 372-1050, and we will check the math before the truck is loaded.

Delivery or pickup for Wrentham, MA

We deliver screened compost in Wrentham, MA by truck, placing the pile where you want it. Most Wrentham driveways are easy for our trucks. Still, older roads near the town center can be narrow, so tell us about tight turns or low branches when you order.

1. Book the load. Call or send a quote request with the amount of screened compost and your Wrentham address.
2. Pick the drop spot. Next, choose firm, open ground close to the work area, clear of wires and branches.
3. Protect the surface. Then lay a tarp or plywood on pavement, so cleanup takes minutes.
4. Meet the truck. Finally, the driver calls ahead and places the pile as close to your spot as the ground safely allows.

Picking up at the yard

Because the yard is in Wrentham, a pickup is a quick local errand rather than a road trip. As a rule, a full-size pickup carries about 2 to 3 yards of this material safely. So check your payload rating, and bring a tarp for the ride back to Wrentham.

When to order screened compost in Wrentham

Late summer into early fall is the best time for new lawns in Wrentham. Warm soil and cool nights help seed sprout quickly, and there is less weed pressure. Spring works well for garden beds, too. However, avoid spreading soil when it is soaking wet, because it packs down under boots and wheels.

How to top-dress a lawn with screened compost

1. Mow and aerate. Mow a little shorter than usual and core-aerate. Then the compost can drop into the holes.
2. Spread thin. Shovel small piles across the lawn and spread them with the back of a rake. Next, aim for about a quarter inch.
3. Work it in. Drag a rake or a mat so the compost settles between the grass blades. As a result, the grass stays visible.
4. Overseed. This is a great time to overseed, because the seed lands in rich material.
5. Water well. Finally, water deeply to settle everything into the soil.
