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.

I've been installing landscapes and hydroseeding my entire adult life. We hired this company for a very large and complicated project to blow compost. We had such a great experience we used them to hydromulch the site when we finished native seeding. They moved their schedule twice to meet conditions and were happy to do so. They were very professional, the crew was very polite, they went way above and beyond to make sure it was easy for us and our client. I cant say enough good about the people, the company, and the work. I look forward to getting to use them on another project in the future.

This company is amazing. They came out on Monday and did and amazing job. They prepared the lawn, removing a lot of rocks. They did an amazing job for erosion control. They were professional and communicated from the beginning. Tuesday, Buckets of rain. All the prep work, hydroseed washed away. Were the erosion mats were laid did exactly what it was supposed to do but no company can prepare for the amount of water that God released. Wednesday, I called and talked to Bill. Whom I had been in contact with from the beginning. Bill stopped by house, told me he had a truck in the area. A crew was out there fixing the yard and re-hydroseeded my yard without extra cost. I could not have been happier of their professionalism and customer service. I would highly recommend Superior if your in need of hydroseeding.

We have had a great experience with hiring Superior Groundcover to complete our hydroseeding for our home. From the moment we spoke with Bill, we knew we could trust the work to be done the right way. Bill educated us on the process and was always available to answer any questions we had. Also, his team was quick, efficient and professional. We would highly recommend working with this company for your hydroseeding project.

Can't recommend these guys enough. Called Terry on a short notice to try to get mulch in on a project that meant a lot to me. Even in their busiest time of year he managed to make it happen for me within the timeline I needed it. His guys were knowledgeable and very polite. They knew exactly how much mulch I was going to need to finish the project and got it done. They also blew the area spotless and even managed to clean up some of my mess in the process. All around 10/10 company and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else!

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.
