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 thickness for top dressing an established lawn. For garden beds, plan on 2 to 3 inches worked into the soil, which cuts your coverage down to roughly 108 to 162 square feet per yard. Measure your bed or lawn square footage first, then match it against the depth you actually need rather than rounding up.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

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.
A lot of Ellensburg customers pair compost with a topsoil delivery when they are building a new bed from scratch, using the compost to amend rather than as the base fill. If you are top dressing a lawn, a straight sand or a fine soil blend can help level low spots at the same time. For beds getting a fresh compost tilling, a bark or wood mulch layer on top afterward helps hold moisture through the dry stretch of summer.

Silt loam like what you have around Ellensburg holds water but can seal up at the surface when it dries out between waterings. Working compost into the top few inches breaks up that surface crust and gives roots an easier path down. Till it in rather than just laying it on top of a new bed, the mixing is what actually changes the soil structure over time, a surface layer alone will just sit there and wash off in a hard rain.
The most common mistake we see is piling compost on too thick thinking more is better. Past 3 inches worked into a bed, compost can actually tie up nitrogen temporarily as soil microbes work to break it down, which sets plants back rather than helping them. Stick to 1 inch for lawn top dressing and 2 to 3 inches tilled into beds, then let the soil biology do the rest over the season.
Because compost sells here in both spring and fall, timing your order around a project rather than a season keeps things simple. Fall applications give the compost a full winter to integrate before May planting, which works well with our last frost date. Spring orders right after the ground firms up in April give beds a head start before the growing season kicks in around the 12th.
Ellensburg sits at 1565 feet with a silt loam base that holds moisture reasonably well but can compact and lose structure under the valley's wind and dry summer stretches. Compost worked into that soil adds the organic matter and microbial life that silt loam tends to lack on its own, especially in beds that have been cropped or planted hard for a few seasons. With a growing season bounded by a May 12 last frost and a September 25 first frost, spring and fall are both natural windows to refresh beds before planting or before winter dormancy. Whether you are prepping vegetable rows or top dressing a lawn near the rodeo grounds, this is a soil building material, not a mulch layer.
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.
