Certified Compost
Screened, tested, and verified through the U.S. Composting Council’s STA program.
What Makes Our Compost Different
Parker Bark certified compost is produced from aged, wood fines, never manure-based inputs or food waste streams. We age, monitor, and screen our compost to ensure consistency season after season.
Unlike many compost options that rely on mixed consumer inputs, our material is engineered for professional performance—landscapes, nurseries, turf, and restoration. The result is a stable, predictable organic amendment that transforms soil.
