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 right for topdressing an established lawn. For beds, plan on tilling in 2 to 3 inches, which cuts coverage down to roughly 110 to 160 square feet per yard depending on how deep you go. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you actually need rather than guessing.

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 naturally with a topsoil blend if you're building a new bed from scratch, since the topsoil gives structure and the compost brings the biology. For lawns, a lot of Greenwood customers follow a compost topdressing with mulch in the surrounding beds so the whole yard gets refreshed in one pass. If you're overseeding after topdressing, compost gives the new grass seed a better rooting layer than bare silt loam alone.
Service area
In Greenwood's silt loam, compost works best when it's mixed into the top few inches rather than left sitting on the surface of a bed, since the fine silt particles can crust over and slow water infiltration. Till 2 to 3 inches of finished compost into new beds before planting, but for lawns, keep it to a thin 1 inch topdressing and let it work down naturally through watering and mowing.
A common mistake is applying compost right before a heavy spring rain, which is frequent in the Delta between March and May. Fresh compost on silt loam can wash before it has a chance to settle in, especially on any slight grade near Grand Boulevard's older lots. Give it a dry window of a day or two after spreading, or plan around the forecast when scheduling delivery.
Compost sells well here in both spring and fall, and timing your order around one of those windows rather than mid summer heat gives roots a better chance to actually use what you're adding. Fall applications ahead of the Nov 6 frost let compost break down slowly over winter, feeding soil structure before spring planting starts back up.
Greenwood's silt loam is naturally fertile but it packs down over time, especially near the older neighborhoods off Grand Boulevard where soil has been worked and mowed for decades. Compost breaks that compaction cycle by adding organic matter that keeps the silt particles from binding too tight. With a growing season that runs from late March past the first frost in November, there is a long stretch where beds and lawns are actively pulling nutrients, and finished compost is what keeps that supply going without burning anything out. It also helps the soil hold water better during the humid stretches without staying soggy.
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.
