Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

One cubic yard of this compost covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right amount for topdressing an established lawn. If you are tilling into new beds at 2 to 3 inches, plan on that same yard covering closer to 110 to 160 square feet, so measure your bed area first and order accordingly. Most Greenfield properties doing both a lawn refresh and a few beds end up ordering 2 to 4 cubic yards.

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
Compost works well paired with a topsoil blend if you are building up a bed from scratch, or with mulch laid on top once the compost has been worked in, since mulch holds moisture and suppresses weeds while the compost feeds the soil underneath. A lot of Greenfield customers order both at once to finish a bed in a single delivery.

Finished compost should crumble in your hand and smell like earth, not sour or ammonia-like. If you are top dressing a lawn in Greenfield's silt loam, rake it in thin, about 1 inch, and water it lightly so it settles into the grass rather than sitting on top and smothering blades. Thicker layers on lawns do more harm than good because they block sunlight from reaching the turf underneath.
A common mistake is treating compost like mulch and piling it on thick expecting better results. More is not better here, excess compost can actually tie up nitrogen temporarily as soil microbes work to break it down, which can stunt plants right when they need nutrients most. Stick to 2 to 3 inches tilled into beds and let the soil do the rest over a season.
If you are working on multiple beds around the same property, order compost and mulch together so you only pay for one delivery instead of two separate trips. Compost goes down first and gets worked into the soil, then mulch goes on top once beds are planted, which is the order most experienced landscapers around Greenfield actually follow on a real job.
Greenfield sits on silt loam, which drains reasonably well but tends to compact under foot traffic and years of mowing. Working compost into that soil breaks up the fine particles and gives roots more room to move, which matters in zone 5b where a short growing season means plants need every advantage from the start. Whether you are prepping beds this spring or top dressing before the October frost hits, compost is doing the same job, feeding the soil structure rather than just the plant. Fall applications also give it time to work down before the ground freezes.
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.
