One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right thickness for top dressing an established lawn. For bed work, plan on 2 to 3 inches tilled in, so that same yard covers roughly 110 to 160 square feet depending on how deep you go. Measure the square footage of what you're actually treating first, lawn and beds pull very different numbers per yard.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Compost pairs naturally with a topsoil blend if you're building up a new bed from scratch, and with mulch once beds are amended and planted, the compost feeds the soil while mulch keeps it from drying out on top. If you're overseeding a lawn in fall, a thin compost top dress before seeding gives new grass something better to root into than bare clay.
Service area
Finished compost should look and smell like dark, crumbly soil, not like the yard waste it started as. If a load looks stringy or smells sour, it hasn't fully broken down and can actually rob nitrogen from your soil as it finishes composting in place. Ask what the feedstock and turn schedule looked like before you commit, especially for spring orders when demand is high and some suppliers push product out early.
The most common mistake with compost is piling it on thick expecting faster results. More than 3 inches tilled into a bed can actually tie up nutrients your plants need, especially nitrogen, while the excess finishes breaking down. Stick to 1 inch for lawn top dressing and 2 to 3 inches worked into beds, then let the soil biology do the rest over the following season rather than trying to fix everything in one application.
If you're building a new bed in Canton's clay loam, compost is more cost effective mixed with existing soil than used to fully replace it. Till compost into the native clay rather than digging it all out and refilling with pure compost, you get the structural benefit at a fraction of the material cost and the bed ties into the surrounding soil instead of creating a container effect that traps water.
Clay loam is the default soil around Canton, and it drains slowly and compacts under foot traffic and heavy rain. Compost worked into the top few inches breaks up that density over a season or two and gives roots somewhere to go besides sideways. With a growing season bounded by a May 5 last frost and an October 5 first frost, there are two real windows here, spring bed prep before planting and fall top dressing before the ground closes up. Either works, the soil just needs the organic matter more than it needs a specific calendar date.
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.
