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!

Compost is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard spreads about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right thickness for top dressing an established lawn. For beds getting tilled in, plan on 2 to 3 inches worked into the soil, which cuts your coverage down to roughly 108 to 160 square feet per yard. Measure the actual bed or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you need rather than guessing.

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 pairs well with a topsoil delivery if you are building a new bed from scratch, or with mulch laid on top once it is worked in to hold moisture and slow weeds. If your clay is especially dense, some people bring in a load of soil conditioner alongside compost to speed up the breakdown of that heavy base.

In Greer's clay, do not till compost in too deep. Two to three inches worked into the top layer of soil is enough to change the structure without burying it below where roots need it. Going deeper just means the clay underneath stays undisturbed and the compost sits in a pocket instead of blending through the whole root zone. Shallow and even beats deep and uneven every time.
A common mistake is piling compost on thick as a lawn top dressing, thinking more will green things up faster. It does the opposite, a heavy layer can smother grass and tie up nitrogen while it finishes breaking down. Stick to about 1 inch, spread it evenly with a rake, and let it settle into the turf over a few weeks rather than sitting on top of it.
If you are tackling a big bed renovation, it can be more efficient to order compost and topsoil together in one delivery rather than two separate trips. Blending them on site as you build the bed saves time over amending in stages, and it is easier to judge how much of each you actually need once both are on the ground in front of you.
Red clay is the default soil around Greer, and on its own it drains slow and compacts hard, especially after the sticky humid stretches in summer. Compost worked into that clay breaks up the density and gives it structure that holds air and water instead of just water. It works whether you are prepping a new bed near Greer Station or refreshing tired lawns that have been fighting clay for years. Spring and fall are both solid windows here, before the heat locks in or once it breaks, so timing depends more on your project than the calendar.
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.
