Changing the Way the World Grows

From EPA-certified bulk compost to custom engineered soil, ERTH Products has supplied Georgia's landscape professionals, engineers, and golf courses since 1996.

A Family Business Built on What Grows

Since 1996, ERTH Products has operated on one principle:

Obsess over the finished product. We take Class-A biosolids from municipal wastewater facilities, combine them with peanut hulls, and run them through an aerated static pile process to produce ERTH Food Compost—a STA-certified product that performs batch after batch. From that same foundation, we engineer specialty soils for stormwater, structural, and turf applications across Georgia and the Southeast.

Changing the Way the World Grows - One Product at a Time

30 Years of Obsessing Over the Finished Product

For nearly 30 years, ERTH Products has operated from a single conviction: the quality of what you put into the ground determines everything that grows out of it. As a family-owned compost supplier based in Plains, Georgia, we’ve built our reputation by doing something most composting operations don’t—obsessing over the finished product rather than the front-end intake.

Our flagship product, ERTH Food Compost, starts with a consistent, controlled feedstock: Class-A biosolids from municipal wastewater treatment facilities combined with peanut hulls. We run that blend through the USDA aerated static pile composting process, producing a stable, pathogen-free compost that carries the EPA Exceptional Quality designation and STA certification through the U.S. Composting Council. That’s not marketing language—it’s the result of a process that hasn’t cut corners since 1996.

A Full-Service Supplier for the Southeast’s Most Demanding Professionals

ERTH Products is a full-service topsoil and compost supplier built for the Southeast’s most demanding landscape professionals. If you’re a landscape architect specifying engineered soil for a bioretention basin or structural soils, we engineer blends to your exact requirements. If you’re a golf course superintendent looking for a divot repair mix that promotes regrowth instead of just filling the hole, Divot dope was built for your course. If you need top dressing lawn with compost material that builds soil health season over season, ERTH Food and Allstar Topper deliver.

For contractors sourcing top dressing sand or leveling sand for yard and lawn projects, we supply the right-grade material in bulk throughout Georgia and the Southeast. Our bio retention soil meets Georgia EPD stormwater compliance requirements for rain garden and bioretention applications—and our lawn top dressing mix and material options give landscape contractors the flexibility to match the right product to every turf application.

The Team Behind the Product

Our team in Tyrone, GA works directly with landscape architects, civil engineers, grading contractors, golf course superintendents, and bulk material yards across Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, and beyond. We’re licensed as a fertilizer in 18 states and STA certified. Our specs are on file with engineers and architects across the region.

What makes ERTH Products different isn’t just the certifications or the process—it’s the relationship. We’re not a transactional supplier. We’re the team that gets on the phone to talk through your project requirements, helps you calculate material needs, and shows up with the same high-quality product every time you order. From bulk compost in Georgia to engineered soil for a large-scale commercial development, this is what 30 years of getting it right looks like.

Compost Top Dressing That Actually Feeds Your Turf

Most compost is a mixed bag. ERTH Food is not. Manufactured using only biosolids and peanut hulls through the USDA aerated static pile process, it carries the EPA's highest certification and delivers consistent results, microbial life, slow-release nitrogen, and the deep green color that comes from naturally high iron content. Available in bulk across Georgia.

What Our Partners Are Saying

From bioretention to structural support, our engineered mixes are tailored for performance and compliance.

At Heritage Landscape Services, Inc. – Gilbert, SC
Hagins Landscape Nursery, Inc. – Greenville, SC
“I have used ERTH Food® for six years as a soil amendment and as a mulch in annual color beds. With regular use, I have seen an overall improvement in the quality of the soil. Specifically, I have seen better water retention and a reduction in the occurrence of disease.

“ERTH Food® is a great substitute for mulch. It has a good color and texture and does not wash or blow away as do some other mulch products. Far less disease appears in our flowerbeds, which reduces our chemical use and produces more vibrant colors. ERTH Food® is a great product."

"At Heritage Landscape Services, Inc. – Gilbert, SC At Heritage Landscape, Inc., we have been using ERTH Food® for many years and are very pleased with it. It is a product that we can continue to use throughout the growing season to refresh the look of our beds without changing the beds’ appearance. It has a unique consistency in color and texture that continues the flow into other areas of the bed. ERTH Food® makes a perfect blend to the property, while it gives a fresh look without causing too much contrast. It never fails that, while we are planting our beds, a passer-by will stop to ask what we are mulching our beds with. They comment on how good it looks and ask for the name of a local place where they too can purchase ERTH Food®.
“We find, however, that ERTH Food® provides more than just aesthetics to our beds. It gives our beds a good barrier against weeds, and we’ve found that it also creates a moisture barrier that allows moisture to stay in the ground longer than any other mulch we have tried. At the end of a growing season, we will pull the old flowers and till the existing ERTH Food® into the soil; this provides an excellent source of organic matter that most of our beds need because of either the high clay or sand composite. The bags are an easy-to-handle size, which makes transportation to the beds easy. ERTH Food® is a great product for anyone wanting to achieve that extra-professional look for their beds, and it is ideal for flower bed enhancement."

"Riverbanks Zoo & Botanical Garden – Columbia, SC
“At Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Garden, we have been using ERTH Food® for a number of years. While many people use it as a soil conditioner, we use it as a mulch for our beds. We must get hundreds of questions about ERTH Food® every year; people are intrigued about the peanut shells.
“One thing that is important to me when purchasing mulch is to ensure that it is weed-free. We’ve never had a problem with weedy ERTH Food®. ERTH Food® is a unique and useful product, and, most of all, it looks great as a mulch.”"
