Compost is one of the best amendments for West Volusia's sandy soil. Rich, dark, and full of organic matter, it helps beds hold moisture and nutrients that native DeLand sand drains away too fast. Worked into your soil, it gives vegetables, flowers, and shrubs a real head start. We sell it in bulk by the cubic yard.
Use it as an amendment — blend a layer into existing beds or mix it with garden mix in raised beds, rather than planting straight into it. Tell us your bed sizes and we'll help you order the right amount. Call to confirm current pricing and availability.
Enter length, width, and depth to estimate how much you'll need.
Rule of thumb: 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at a 3-inch depth. Measure length × width, divide by 100, and that's roughly the cubic yards you need. This is an estimate; bed shape, settling, and product texture can change the final amount, so call 386-775-8676 to confirm quantity and availability.

Compost
Compost is a rich, dark organic compost that's excellent for feeding sandy Florida soil. Worked into beds, it adds organic matter, improves moisture retention, and helps plants get established — a big help in West Volusia's fast-draining ground.
Most gardeners work a 1 to 2-inch layer of compost into the top few inches of a bed, or blend it with garden mix in raised beds. It's an amendment to improve your soil, not usually a stand-alone planting medium.
As a general guide, 1 cubic yard spreads about 160 square feet at a 2-inch depth before you work it in. Measure your beds, and call to confirm the quantity for your project.
It's best used blended into soil rather than on its own — it's a concentrated amendment. Mix it into garden mix or existing beds for the best results. Call and we'll suggest a blend for your plants.
