The Perfect Finishing Touch for Vibrant Growth

Top dressing companies and golf course superintendents know the difference between a product that looks good on paper and one that shows results in the field. Allstar Topper is the latter—a premium finely milled compost topdressing that delivers visible turf improvement from the first application.

The Same Certified Base, Optimized for Topdressing

Built on the same EPA Exceptional Quality certified ERTH Food Compost base that has anchored our product line since 1996, Allstar Topper takes the performance characteristics of our flagship compost and optimizes them specifically for topdressing applications. The key difference is particle size. ERTH Food Compost in standard form is exceptional for bulk applications, bioretention, landscape beds, turf renovation. Allstar Topper takes that same material and mills it to a finer, more consistent particle size that flows cleanly through spreaders, settles into the turf canopy without leaving visible surface residue, and makes contact with the soil profile where organic matter, microbial life, and slow-release nitrogen go to work.

Results That Speak for Themselves

The iron content, naturally high in all ERTH Food Compost products—carries through to Allstar Topper in full, producing the deep, rich, saturated green that golf course superintendents and top dressing companies use to demonstrate results to their clients. It's the kind of color response that earns referrals. It's the kind of result that a course superintendent shows to their greens committee. For top dressing companies across Tyrone, Georgia and the Southeast, Allstar Topper represents a premium upgrade from the standard compost product your customers may have seen before. The fine particle size, consistent quality, and visible color response make it straightforward to demonstrate the difference to your clients, and to price that difference accordingly. For golf course operations managing full topdressing programs across greens, tee boxes, and fairways, Allstar Topper delivers the agronomic benefit of compost—microbial activity, organic nitrogen cycling, improved pore structure—in a format that's practical for spreader application at scale. Organic nitrogen in Allstar Topper cycles slowly through the soil profile via microbial activity, reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizer in treated areas and building cumulative soil health over multiple application seasons. The product is available in full bulk truckloads for large-volume programs and in super sacks for customers who need more flexible ordering. Built in Plains, Georgia and delivered to your site anywhere in Georgia and the Southeast.

Our Corporate Values

Finely Milled for Topdressing Applications

Ground to a fine, consistent particle size specifically for topdressing, smaller than standard ERTH Food Compost, with clean flow characteristics that make spreader application practical on fairways, tee boxes, and residential lawns.

High Iron for Deep Green Color

Naturally high in iron, Allstar Topper delivers the dark, saturated green that makes treated turf immediately visible. It's the kind of result that earns referrals.

Organic Nitrogen That Cycles Through the Soil

Slow-release organic nitrogen cycles through the soil profile via microbial activity rather than delivering a single flush that fades. The result is consistent, lasting turf improvement rather than a temporary green-up.

What Our Customers 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.”"

FAQs

All You Need to Know

What is Allstar Topper and how is it different from standard ERTH Food Compost?

Allstar Topper is ERTH Food Compost that has been milled to a finer, more consistent particle size specifically for topdressing applications. The base product is the same EPA Exceptional Quality certified compost, but the finer grind makes it practical for spreading on golf greens, fairways, and residential lawns without leaving visible residue.

Who is Allstar Topper designed for?

Allstar Topper is built for golf course superintendents, top dressing companies, and commercial turf managers who need a premium organic topdressing option. It's also suited for residential customers seeking a high-quality lawn topdressing material available through bulk yards and distributors.

Can Allstar Topper be used on golf greens, tee boxes, and fairways?

Yes. Allstar Topper's fine particle size makes it compatible with topdressing applications on putting greens, tee boxes, fairways, and driving ranges. It is compatible with Bermuda and Zoysia - the dominant warm-season grasses on Georgia golf courses. Consult your agronomist for application rates on putting surfaces.

What NPK analysis does Allstar Topper carry?

Allstar Topper is marketed at 1.5-0.5-0.5 NPK, with typical analysis often higher. The nitrogen is slow-release organic, cycling through the soil profile via microbial activity for sustained turf nutrition.

Is Allstar Topper available in super sacks for smaller volume orders?

Yes. Allstar Topper is available in both full bulk truckloads for large-scale programs and in super sacks for customers who prefer a more flexible order format. Contact our team to discuss volume, pricing, and delivery to your location.

How does Allstar Topper compare to other premium compost topdressing products on the market?

Allstar Topper is built on the same EPA Exceptional Quality certified feedstock base that ERTH Products has used since 1996, biosolids and peanut hulls only. That consistency in feedstocks translates to consistent performance batch after batch, which is rare in the compost topdressing market. The high iron content and fine particle size put it alongside premium competitors at a price point that works for bulk programs.
