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 what you want for lawn top dressing. For garden beds getting tilled in at 2 to 3 inches, plan on roughly 110 to 160 square feet per yard. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you actually need, since going deeper than 3 inches in beds wastes material and can smother roots.

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 works well laid down before mulch, since the compost feeds the soil while mulch on top holds moisture and keeps clay from crusting over in the summer heat. If you're reworking a bed, a load of topsoil blended with compost can rebuild structure faster than compost alone on tough clay. Some people order both compost and mulch at once to finish beds in a single pass.

Fort Collins clay compacts fast, so don't just dump compost on top and walk away. Work it into the top few inches of soil with a rake or tiller before planting, especially in beds. On lawns, a thin 1 inch topdress raked in lightly helps it settle into the thatch instead of sitting on top where it can wash off during spring runoff or a sudden summer storm.
The biggest mistake we see is piling on too much compost thinking it'll speed things up. More than 3 inches tilled into a bed can actually tie up nitrogen temporarily as it keeps breaking down, which stunts new plantings. Stick to 1 inch on lawns and 2 to 3 inches in beds, then let it do its job over a season rather than trying to fix years of clay in one application.
Compost sells well in both spring and fall here, and timing depends on your goal. Spring application ahead of planting season gives new roots a head start before the last frost clears in mid May. Fall application, after harvest and before the ground freezes near the end of September, lets the compost integrate over winter so beds are ready to go as soon as it warms up again.
Clay dominates yards from Old Town Square out toward the foothills, and it holds water in spring then bakes hard by August. Compost breaks up that clay over a season or two, adding the organic matter that clay soil is almost always missing. With frost not letting go until mid May and returning by the end of September, the growing window here is tight, so soil that drains and warms well matters more than in milder climates. People here use it to rebuild beds after a long winter and to top dress lawns before the heat sets in.
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.
