Compost for Topdressing Lawn - BR

Anyone have experience with a quality compost I can use for Topdressing in the Baton Rouge area?
Anything in bulk or bag will work. It seems like the Black Cow compost has bark/lumps in it that wouldn't be ideal for Topdressing. Thoughts?

Ha, good luck...
I've commented several times that there is no company in south Louisiana that really gives a shite about quality dirt, compost, sand, soil, etc.
In places like Texas and Georgia they'll pre mix a beautiful 70/30 ratio or whatever you want. You'll pay for it, but at least its available.
Here, Cleggs recommends dumping river shite, excuse me, silt, into your lawn.
This is what we need.

I usually pick up about 9 bags of sand and 3 of compost/manure.
This is not the most economical option unfortunately.
Here's 2,000+ posts about leveling/topdressing

Call around to some of your local dirt guys and see what they've got.
The guy I use on the northshore has some beautiful sandy/dirt mix that spreads great but also lets stuff grow in it. Not cheap, but I like it.

I think Bofingers tree service in Baton Rouge is actually producing some with the input of a number of various experts of different skill sets. You may want to give them a call to see what they have. I’m sure it would be bull and not in bags
