At Quick Lawn we understand that the secret to a lush, green lawn isn’t just the grass you choose—it's the soil beneath it. That’s why we’ve developed our own Special Compost Mix, expertly crafted to nourish Kikuyu and LM grass from the roots up.

Whether you're starting a new lawn or revitalising an existing one, our compost blend gives your grass the healthy foundation it needs to flourish.

What Makes Our Compost Mix So Effective?

Unlike standard garden compost, our Special Compost Mix is engineered for long-term lawn health. It’s a slow-release, nutrient-rich blend tailored for Pretoria and Midrand’s climate and soil conditions.

Here’s how we make it:

Our Compost Production Process

Step 1: Sifting of Ingredients

We start by sifting top-quality, weed-free topsoil, along with premium organic compost and a carefully measured amount of superphosphate—a vital ingredient for root development.

Step 2: Blending and Refining

Next, we sift the mixed topsoil, compost, and superphosphate together. This ensures an even texture and consistent distribution of nutrients throughout the mix.

The Result? A slow-release Special Compost Mix that improves soil structure, enhances drainage, retains moisture, and feeds your lawn consistently over time.

Benefits of Our Compost Mix

Boosts Root Growth – Thanks to the added superphosphate.
Improves Soil Health – Encourages beneficial microbial life.
Enhances Water Retention – Reduces the need for constant watering.

This mix is ideal for top-dressing existing lawns or preparing the ground before laying Kikuyu or LM grass sod from Quick Lawn.
