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 right for lawn top dressing. If you are working compost into a new bed at 2 to 3 inches, figure roughly 100 to 160 square feet per cubic yard depending on depth, so measure the bed first and decide how deep you actually need to go 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 layer underneath if you are building a bed from scratch in College Station clay, and a mulch top layer afterward holds moisture in through our hot, dry summer stretches. Many customers order compost for the amending work and mulch for the finish in the same delivery window.
College Station clay drains slow, so do not till compost in when the ground is already saturated from a spring rain, you will just create dense mud pockets instead of blending it in. Wait a day or two after rain until the clay crumbles instead of smearing when you dig into it. Working compost into dry-ish clay breaks it apart properly and lets the organic matter actually distribute through the soil profile.
The biggest mistake we see is piling compost on too thick, thinking more will speed up results. Anything past 3 inches tilled in or more than an inch top dressed on lawn can actually tie up nitrogen temporarily as microbes work to break down the extra material, which shows up as pale, slow growing turf. Thin and consistent beats thick and occasional every time with finished compost.
If you are amending several beds around a property, it is worth ordering compost once in bulk rather than making repeat trips home with bagged material, since the per-yard value improves a lot at volume. Pair it with a load of mulch on the same delivery to save a trip, since most College Station yards need both for a full bed refresh in spring or fall.
College Station sits on heavy clay that holds water in winter and cracks hard in summer heat, and compost is one of the only things that actually fixes that over time instead of just covering it up. Tilled into beds at 2 to 3 inches, it breaks up clay particles and lets roots and water move where they need to. On lawns, a thin 1 inch top dress feeds the soil biology without matting down turf during our warm season growth. With zone 9a summers pushing plants hard, better soil structure means less watering stress by August.
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.
