About this compost

Finished screened compost, fully broken down and ready to work into beds. The general purpose choice for building soil that holds water and feeds roots.

One cubic yard of compost covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right thickness for topdressing an established lawn. For beds, you're tilling in 2 to 3 inches, so figure a cubic yard per 100 to 160 square feet depending on how deep you go. Measure your lawn or bed square footage first, then decide if you're topdressing thin or amending deep.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Compost pairs well with a topsoil blend if you're building up low spots in sandy loam before seeding, and with mulch on top of beds once the compost is worked in to hold moisture longer. If you're overseeding a lawn this fall or next spring, compost topdressed first gives the seed something better to root into than bare sandy soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

On sandy loam like Bethpage's, compost works best tilled in before a rain rather than after, since a dry topdressing can blow around or sit on the surface without breaking down. If you're doing a fall bed prep, get it in the ground by late October so it has time to integrate before the first frost around November 15 locks the soil up for winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is piling compost on thick thinking it'll feed the lawn faster. Finished compost is meant to go on thin, about 1 inch on turf, because a heavy layer can mat down and actually block oxygen from reaching roots. Thin and consistent beats thick and occasional every time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're already ordering mulch for beds, add compost to the same delivery and till it in before you mulch on top, it saves a trip and the compost gets fresher contact with soil before it's covered. Compost also stretches further mixed into existing sandy loam than into heavier clay, since sandy soil takes amendments more evenly.

Building Better Soil in Bethpage

Bethpage sits on sandy loam, which drains quickly and doesn't hold nutrients or moisture the way a heavier soil would. Compost fixes that by adding organic matter that acts like a sponge, so the ground holds water longer between rains and roots have something to grip. With zone 7b winters and a growing season that runs from early April to mid November, there's a real spring window and a real fall window to work compost into beds before planting or before the ground locks up. Homeowners near the Black Course tend to overwater sandy lawns trying to compensate, and a good compost topdressing does more long term good than another inch of irrigation.

What Finished Compost Is

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.

How Much to Apply

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.

When to Apply

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is compost the same as topsoil for my beds in Bethpage?

No, compost is decomposed organic matter meant to amend soil, not replace it. Topsoil is closer to a growing medium on its own. In Bethpage's sandy loam, most people use compost to improve the existing soil structure rather than bring in new soil, unless they're building a raised bed from scratch.

Answer

How many cubic yards of compost do I need for a 2000 square foot lawn?

At a 1 inch topdressing depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a 2000 square foot lawn needs roughly 6 cubic yards. That's the standard depth for topdressing an established lawn without smothering the grass underneath.

Answer

When should I put compost down, spring or fall?

Both work in Bethpage. Spring compost, applied after the last frost around April 1, gives beds a boost heading into the growing season. Fall compost, worked in before the November 15 frost, breaks down over winter and is ready for spring planting. Pick based on what you're planting and when.

Answer

Where will the compost be dropped and do I need to be home?

We deliver to a driveway, curb, or specific spot you choose at checkout, and you don't need to be home as long as the area is accessible. Just make sure there's clear space for the truck and let us know about anything tight, like a narrow driveway.

Answer

Should I get compost or mulch for my beds?

They do different jobs. Compost feeds and improves the soil itself, tilled in 2 to 3 inches. Mulch sits on top to hold moisture and block weeds. Most bed projects around Bethpage use both, compost worked in first, then mulch layered over the top.
