Industry Survey: Compost Use in Landscape & Development Projects

Industry Survey: Compost Use in Landscape & Development Projects

The U.S. Composting Council (USCC) is currently conducting a national benchmark survey to better understand how landscape architects, designers, and developers evaluate and utilize compost in professional practice.

This research aims to identify how compost is currently integrated into:

•    Planting plans and plant selection

•    Soil mixes and landscape maintenance

•    Stormwater design and site development

Your feedback will directly inform a broader USCC initiative to identify opportunities and barriers in the industry. The findings will be used to tailor a new Compost Use Toolkit and provide technical guidance specifically designed to support the needs of landscape architects.

The survey is designed for efficiency and will take approximately 3 minutes to complete.

TAKE THE SURVEY    Deadline: Friday, July 17, 2026

Interested in the results? You may opt-in at the end of the survey to receive the benchmark findings directly from the USCC.
