Pure decomposed organic matter. I sell this to anyone fighting Calcasieu Parish clay. Mix it into existing soil or use it as a top-dress around beds and trees. Works fast.
We deliver compost for these 6 jobs every single week in Calcasieu Parish.
Soil Amendment
I tell people to till 2 to 4 inches into beds before planting. It breaks up the tight clay that chokes roots and adds back nutrients our native soil has leached out.
Mulching
Lay 3 to 4 inches around plants and beds. It holds moisture through the summer heat, crowds out weeds, and keeps feeding roots as it breaks down over the season.
Raised Beds
Mix compost with screened topsoil and coarse sand for a raised bed blend that drains fast and grows heavy. We can pre-blend it or deliver it separately if you want to control the ratio yourself.
Clay Soil Improvement
Our clay packs down like concrete after a few dry weeks. I recommend mixing compost at 25 to 30 percent by volume. Same dirt becomes something you can actually work with.
Top Dressing
Rake a quarter-inch layer across your lawn in spring and let rain work it in. Nutrients filter down without you touching the turf. Grass fills in thicker by summer.
Tree and Shrub Planting
Mix equal parts compost and native soil before you backfill planting holes. New trees and shrubs take root faster and handle drought stress better in that first year.

How Much Organic Compost Do You Need?
Compost spreads thinner than topsoil. Most people overestimate what they need. Enter your dimensions and get the real number before you call.
Compost does what fertilizer alone can't. It builds soil structure, feeds the microbes, and holds moisture through dry stretches. Gardeners and landscapers in Calcasieu Parish use it as the base amendment for new beds, lawn renovation, and veggie gardens.
The native soil around DeQuincy and north Calcasieu runs heavy clay. Compost breaks that clay up and gives roots room to grow. Mix 2 to 3 inches into the top 6 inches of soil and the difference shows in the first growing season.
We sell it by the cubic yard, delivered. No bagging fees. No pallet minimums. One delivery covers what would take 30 or 40 bags from the garden center, at a fraction of the cost per yard.
