Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right rate for topdressing an established lawn. For bed work, where 2 to 3 inches gets tilled in, plan on that same yard covering closer to 110 to 160 square feet depending on depth. Measure the square footage of your lawn or beds first, then match it to the depth you need before ordering.

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
Compost pairs well with a topsoil order if you are building new beds from scratch, or with mulch laid on top once the compost is worked in to hold moisture and slow weeds. A lot of Boone customers doing lawn renovation order compost alongside grass seed suited to the 6b zone's shorter season.
On sloped Boone lots, spread compost in smaller sections rather than dumping it all in one pile and shoveling downhill, since rain and irrigation will carry loose compost off a slope before it works into the clay. Rake it in lightly on beds after tilling and topdress lawns in thin passes with a spreader so it settles between grass blades instead of sitting on top where wind can move it.
The biggest mistake we see is piling compost on too thick thinking more equals faster results. At 3333 feet the growing season is already short, and a thick compost layer left untilled can actually mat down and block water from reaching clay soil underneath. Stick to 1 inch topdressed on lawns and 2 to 3 inches tilled into beds, then let the clay and compost mix over a few weeks before planting.
Time your compost order for early spring before the last frost on May 15, or fall right after the growing season winds down near October 5. Both windows let the compost start breaking into the clay before you plant or before winter locks the ground up. Ordering in one of these windows also means you are not competing with peak mulch season for delivery scheduling.
Boone sits at 3333 feet with clay soil that tends to compact hard, especially on the slopes where a lot of local lots are graded. Compost breaks that clay up over a season or two, adding the organic matter that rocky clay is usually missing. With a short growing window between the May 15 and October 5 frost dates, gardeners here get more value from soil that drains and warms up fast in spring. It also helps lawns and beds hold moisture during the dry stretches between mountain rain systems.
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.
