Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the standard rate for topdressing a lawn. If you are tilling compost into planting beds at the recommended 2 to 3 inches, plan on roughly 108 to 162 square feet per cubic yard, so measure your bed footprint before ordering.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
Compost pairs well with a topsoil blend when you are building new beds from scratch, since the compost adds biology and the topsoil adds bulk and mineral content. If you are mulching after amending, a bark or wood mulch on top holds moisture and keeps the compost from drying out in exposed spots.
Service area
Do not pile finished compost more than 3 inches deep in beds, even if you have a lot to use up. Bellingham's silt loam already holds nutrients well, and stacking compost too thick can actually tie up nitrogen as it continues to break down, which shows up as yellowing leaves the following season. Spread thinner over a larger area and till it in rather than mounding it in one spot.
The most common mistake we see locally is compost applied right before a heavy fall rain, before it has a chance to settle. With Bellingham's wet autumns, freshly spread compost on a slope can wash before it works into the soil. Apply it, then rake or till it in the same day if rain is forecast within 24 hours, especially on any bed with even a slight grade.
If you are amending a large bed, it is often more efficient to blend compost with topsoil rather than buying straight compost for the whole volume. A 50/50 or 70/30 topsoil to compost mix gives you the organic benefit without the cost of filling deep beds with pure compost, which is more concentrated than most plantings actually need.
Bellingham's silt loam is fertile but compacts easily under our wet winters, and compost is one of the few amendments that actually loosens it over time instead of just sitting on top. With a growing season that runs from the April 5 last frost to the November 5 first frost, gardeners here get two real windows, spring and fall, to work compost into beds before planting or before the ground goes cold. It is also common practice around town to top dress lawns in fall so the organic matter has all winter to break down into the root zone. In zone 8b, mild winters mean compost worked into beds in October is often already integrating by the first warm days of March.
Finished compost is organic matter that has fully broken down into a dark, crumbly material with an earthy smell. It feeds soil life, improves structure, and helps beds hold water without staying soggy.
Work 1 to 2 inches into new beds, or topdress lawns with a quarter to half inch and rake it in. More is not better. Too thick a layer can smother roots instead of feeding them.
Spring and fall are both good windows. Spring applications feed the growing season ahead, and fall applications break down over winter so beds are ready at first thaw.
