While Composting it is said that it bakes to 220 degrees, killing any seeds or pathogens, and enzymes and micro bacteria break the Compost down, digesting it while infusing life, encouraging nematodes (earthworms are in the nematode family).
The facility has set aside valuable space on their property, they have employees dedicated to collecting, handling, composting, loading the Compost.
So now instead of the liability of all of this manure having to go to a landfill as waste, they have turned a liability into an asset in converting it into Compost that they can sell. Delivery means just that, Compost delivered. It does not include the labor of wheel borrowing. It does not include the labor of spreading.

I contacted Mike (the owner) in early October 2024 and he explained the process after I completed the bid on his website. My bid for 3176 s.f. of demo., debris removal, rototilling, composting, leveling and sod installation was about $9,300 (including the sod).
We have battled with horrible soil conditions in our backyard since moving into our home. While we experienced mixed results with tilling the soil and planting seeds ourselves, we were never able to achieve the results we wanted. Part of the problem was the soil and the five erratic sprinkler zones spread throughout the backyard. We chose Mike because of his easy to use "create bid" function on his website and his attention to detail, including his recommendation to add compost to our soil. While we had five zones that functioned, Mike was able to cut out three zones, but still get the same water coverage. Not only does this save water, but also helps our water bill.
I ordered compost for my vegetable garden, and Mike was absolutely awesome to deal with. Flexible about delivery day, thoroughly friendly and nice, even maneuvering his big truck down my narrow driveway to deposit the compost exactly where I needed it. Thoroughly great customer experience, and I will be buying from him again next year, for sure!
