Professional Compost Topdressing Services in Twin Cities

The organic compost mother lode—that's what we've created at Green Horizons. As the saying goes, "It's only waste if you waste it." For years, Green Horizons owner Chris Beutz has been recycling and composting yard clippings and garden residuals. The object of his obsessive sifting, turning, screening, and experimenting? To create the perfect compost, rich in natural nutrients and biology.

This homegrown organic topdressing turns yard and garden wastes into black gold that transforms lawns from the ground up. Chris's personal commitment to quality means every batch is carefully managed, properly aged, and screened to the perfect consistency for lawn application. It's this obsessive attention to detail that makes our compost truly special.

As a soil amendment, our topdressing improves soil biology by adding organic matter including millions of naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms. It beautifully brings your soil to life—suppressing certain plant diseases, stabilizing soil pH, reducing the need for supplemental fertilizers, and transforming your lawn into organic, low-maintenance, healthy turf.

For soil structure and drainage, topdressing works wonders. In combination with sand or other corrective materials, it can be used to allow moisture to penetrate more deeply and even out your terrain. It increases infiltration and permeability, increases water holding capacity, improves drainage and drought-resistance, increases humus content helping to bind sandy soils, and smooths out bumps caused by worm castings.

We typically apply a thin layer (1/4 to 1/2 inch) of screened compost across your lawn, working it into the turf with light raking. The compost settles into the canopy, feeding soil microbes and providing slow-release nutrients. Over time, regular topdressing builds a deep, fertile topsoil layer that supports vigorous grass growth.

If you're like us, talking about homegrown organic topdressing never grows old—only richer and more lively. Chris Beutz's dedication to turning waste into black gold means your lawn gets the benefit of years of obsessive experimentation and refinement. The result? A lawn that's healthier from the ground up.
