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 of this compost covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is right for lawn top dressing. For beds, where 2 to 3 inches gets tilled in, plan on one yard covering somewhere between 110 and 160 square feet depending on depth. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then decide whether you are top dressing or building soil, since the depth changes the yardage fast.

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 naturally with topsoil on new beds, where topsoil provides bulk and compost brings the biology and structure. It also works well ahead of a mulch layer, since compost feeds the soil underneath while mulch holds moisture and temperature steady on top. If you are dealing with Clarksville's clay in a low or wet spot, some coarse sand or expanded aggregate mixed in can help drainage before compost goes down.
Clarksville clay holds water long after rain, so if you are tilling compost into a bed, wait until the soil crumbles in your hand instead of balling up wet. Working compost into saturated clay just smears it into a denser layer instead of loosening it. Fall, after the first dry stretch past the October 25 frost date, or spring once the ground has drained, are usually your best working windows.
The most common mistake we see is piling compost on too thick, thinking more will fix tired soil faster. Finished compost is concentrated, and a layer over 3 inches in a bed can actually tie up nitrogen as it continues breaking down, setting plants back instead of helping them. Stick to 1 inch on lawns and 2 to 3 inches worked into beds, then repeat seasonally rather than dumping it all at once.
If you are amending a large area, compost stretches further mixed with existing soil rather than used alone, since you are improving structure, not replacing the native clay entirely. Tilling it into the top 6 to 8 inches of soil, rather than just laying it on the surface, gets the organic matter where roots actually live and reduces how much you need to reorder next season.
Clarksville sits on heavy clay that compacts fast and drains slow, especially on the flatter lots away from Fort Campbell. Compost worked into that clay breaks up the density over time and gives roots somewhere to go besides sideways. With a zone 7a growing season running roughly April 5 to October 25, there is a real spring and fall window to get compost into beds before planting or before the ground cools. Whether you are building new beds or trying to rescue lawn that struggles every summer, compost is the slow fix that actually holds.
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.
