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 the right thickness for topdressing an established lawn. For garden beds, plan on 2 to 3 inches worked into the soil, so that same yard covers roughly 130 to 160 square feet depending on how deep you till it in. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then match it to 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.
Compost pairs well with mulch on the same bed, compost worked into the soil first, mulch layered on top to hold moisture in that sandy loam. If you are starting a new bed from scratch, topsoil blended with compost gives you a base that holds nutrients better than Farmingville's native sand alone. Plenty of customers order both in the same delivery to avoid a second trip.

Do not pile compost more than 3 inches deep and expect better results, this is finished material and thicker layers can actually lock up nitrogen as the remaining microbes keep working through it. On lawns, 1 inch topdressed and raked in is the ceiling. On beds, 2 to 3 inches tilled into the top layer of sandy loam is enough to change the soil structure without overwhelming it.
A common mistake here is applying compost right before a hard frost and expecting it to break down fast. With first frost landing around November 10, get fall applications in by mid October so the material has a few weeks of active soil temperatures to start integrating before things freeze. Spring applications after April 11 work just as well and give you the whole growing season.
Compost and mulch are not the same job. Compost feeds and restructures the soil, mulch holds moisture and blocks weeds on top. Ordering both together for one bed project means one delivery instead of two, and using compost underneath cuts down how often you need to reapply mulch since the soil underneath is actually holding water instead of shedding it like raw sand does.
Sandy loam around Farmingville drains fast and does not hold nutrients well, which means beds and lawns dry out between waterings more than people expect. Compost worked into that soil adds the organic matter that binds sand particles and slows drainage just enough to keep roots fed. With zone 7a winters and a growing season that runs roughly April 11 to November 10, fall and spring both give compost time to integrate before extreme heat or hard frost. A lot of the beds near Bald Hill Cultural Park and similar older Long Island plantings benefit from a yearly top dressing rather than a one time heavy application.
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.
