Overview

About this product

AS 4454 is the Australian Standard for composts, soil conditioners and mulches, and it is what landscape and revegetation specifications mean when they call up compost. It sets requirements around maturity, contamination and consistency, so what gets incorporated into a soil profile behaves predictably.

We supply compost for landscape construction, soil amelioration and revegetation at project scale, to the specification your drawings name and with documentation available for sign-off. It slots alongside our AS4419, VR720 and Melbourne Water soils, one supplier for the whole soil package.

Good to know

Common questions

What is AS4454?
AS 4454 is the Australian Standard for composts, soil conditioners and mulches. Like AS 4419 for soil, it exists so a specifier can call up a tested, consistent product instead of gambling on whatever a stockpile holds.
Is this the same as garden compost?
Same family, different job. This page is about compost supplied at project scale for landscape construction, soil amelioration and revegetation, where the spec calls it up and the volumes come by the truckload.
Do you supply documentation?
Where the specification calls up AS 4454 or a project compost requirement, supply is to that spec with documentation available for sign-off, the same discipline as our AS4419 and VR720 soils.
