My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Compost for new lawn

16 years ago

I'm planning on spreading compost after I seed my new lawn as a protective barrier for the seeds and for nutrients (I don't want to use straw or peat moss). I am wondering where is a good place to purchase compost in the Knoxville area.

Thanks
