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 compost covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right amount for topdressing a lawn. For beds getting tilled in at 2 to 3 inches, figure closer to 110 to 160 square feet per yard. Measure the actual bed or lawn area first, then decide which depth fits the job.

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 mulch top layer once it is worked into beds, since the mulch holds moisture in that improved soil longer than it would over bare sand. For new lawns or bare patches, a light compost topdressing before seed or sod gives roots something better than straight sand to grab onto. Some people also blend it with a coarser soil product when building up a raised bed from scratch.
Service area
In Daytona's sandy soil, resist the urge to till compost in deep. Two to three inches worked into the top layer of a bed does more than burying it a foot down, because sand drains so fast that deep organic matter just gets flushed past the root zone before plants use it. Keep it shallow and let roots grow into it as they spread.
A common mistake is topdressing a lawn heavier than 1 inch thinking more compost means faster greening. Past that depth on turf, you actually smother grass blades and can lock up nitrogen while the compost finishes breaking down. Thin and even beats thick, and a second light pass next season does more good than one heavy one now.
Compost works better paired with a load of mulch than bought alone if you're building a new bed. Till the compost into the sand first for structure, then mulch over top to slow the evaporation that sandy soil is prone to near the coast. Buying both at once in the same delivery saves a second trip and gets the bed finished in one weekend instead of two.
Sandy soil around Daytona Beach holds almost no organic matter on its own, so nutrients and water pass right through before roots can use them. Compost worked into that sand gives it something to hold onto, which matters in a zone 9b climate where the growing season barely pauses. People here use it to rebuild beds around new construction, top dress St. Augustine and bahia lawns, and get vegetable beds through the sandy stretch near the coast. It is less about fertilizing and more about giving the soil structure it does not naturally have.
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.
