About this compost

Finished screened compost, fully broken down and ready to work into beds. The general purpose choice for building soil that holds water and feeds roots.

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right thickness for topdressing an established lawn. For garden beds you want 2 to 3 inches tilled in, so figure closer to 110 to 160 square feet per yard at that depth. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you actually need rather than rounding up.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Compost pairs well with a topsoil blend if you are building up a new bed from scratch, and with mulch laid on top once the compost is worked in to hold moisture and keep it from drying out in the wind. If you are dealing with the sandier pockets around Graham, some coarse sand can help with compost to fine tune drainage in beds that stay too wet.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not bury seedlings or shallow roots under a thick compost layer, even though it feels generous. On lawns here, one inch topdressed and left to settle into the sandy loam is plenty, more than that can smother grass crowns and hold too much moisture against blades during our wetter months, which invites fungal issues rather than preventing them.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is tilling compost into bone dry gravelly soil in mid summer. It just sits on top of dust instead of blending in. Wait for a rain event or water the bed lightly first so the existing soil takes the compost rather than repelling it, then till to 2 to 3 inches for real integration.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are amending multiple beds across a property, order compost and mulch on the same delivery instead of two trips. Compost goes down first and gets worked in, mulch goes on top afterward to lock in moisture, and scheduling them together means one driveway drop instead of two separate loads to manage.

Building Better Soil in Graham

Graham soil runs gravelly and sandy, which drains fast and lets nutrients wash through before plants can use them. Compost worked into that soil structure gives roots something to hold onto and slows that drainage down. With growing zone 8b and a frost free stretch that basically runs mid April to early November, there is a wide window to build soil before or after the main growing push. A lot of the beds we deliver to sit on lots near the old Chambers Creek Mill area, where the ground was disturbed decades ago and could use the organic boost.

What Finished Compost Is

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.

How Much to Apply

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.

When to Apply

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will compost actually help my sandy soil hold water better?

Yes, that is its main job in soil like the gravelly sandy loam common around Graham. Organic matter from compost acts like a sponge between soil particles, slowing drainage and giving roots more time to take up water and nutrients before they wash through. It will not turn sandy soil into clay, but it noticeably improves how long moisture sticks around.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a quarter acre lawn topdressing?

A quarter acre is about 10,890 square feet. At one inch deep, one cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet, so you would need about 34 cubic yards for the whole area. Most people topdress in sections over a season rather than all at once, so break it into smaller orders if that is easier to manage.

Answer

Is spring or fall better for adding compost here?

Both work, and compost sells through both seasons for good reason. Fall application gives it the whole winter to break down further and integrate before spring growth starts, while spring application feeds plants right as they wake up. With frost typically clearing by mid April and not returning until early November, you have a long window either way.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get down a gravel driveway?

In most cases yes, but let us know if your access is narrow, has a steep grade, or has low hanging trees. Compost is heavy, close to 0.65 tons per cubic yard, so the truck needs solid, stable ground to place the load without getting stuck or damaging soft surfaces.

Answer

Should I get compost or topsoil for a new garden bed?

If you are building a bed from scratch, a topsoil and compost combination usually works best, since topsoil provides bulk and structure while compost adds the organic matter and nutrients. For an existing bed that just needs improvement, compost alone tilled in 2 to 3 inches is usually enough without adding more volume than the space needs.
