Compost vs Topsoil: Which One Do You Need for Your Garden or Lawn?

Compost vs Topsoil – What’s the Difference?

If you're planning to start a garden, improve your lawn, or level out an area in your yard, you’ve probably come across two common terms: compost and topsoil. But what’s the difference, and which one is right for your project?

🌱 What is Compost?

Compost is rich, organic material made from decomposed plant matter and manure. At Bezzemi Logistics, our New Earth Manure Compost is dark, nutrient-dense, and packed with beneficial microorganisms. It’s perfect for boosting soil health and feeding your plants naturally.

🧪 Benefits: Improves soil structure, adds nutrients, and promotes healthy root development.
🌼 Best For: Gardens, flower beds, vegetable patches, and soil enrichment.

🌍 What is Topsoil?

Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil that contains a mix of organic material, sand, clay, and silt. It’s used to level lawns, fill low spots, or as a base layer for grass and sod. We offer premium screened topsoil that’s clean and free of debris.

🧱 Benefits: Smooths out uneven terrain, holds moisture, and provides a base layer for lawns.
🌿 Best For: Lawn leveling, patch repair, new sod installation, and base prep.

🆚 Which One Do You Need?

Use compost when your goal is to nourish plants or improve soil quality. Use topsoil when you need to build up or level a surface before planting grass or installing sod.
