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 the right depth for topdressing an established lawn. If you are tilling compost into beds at 2 to 3 inches, expect coverage closer to 110 to 160 square feet per cubic yard, so measure your beds first and order accordingly.

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 well with a topsoil blend if you are building up a bed from scratch, and with mulch on top once beds are amended, since the compost feeds the soil while mulch holds moisture and keeps weeds down. A lot of Hazleton customers order compost and mulch in the same delivery to knock out a whole bed renovation in one weekend.

Do not pile finished compost more than 3 inches deep on lawns, even if you have extra. Excess compost on top of grass can smother it and actually lock up nitrogen temporarily as soil microbes work through the extra organic matter. Thin layers worked in with a rake, topdressed at 1 inch, do more for turf health than a thick layer dumped and left. If you have leftover compost after topdressing, save it for bed work instead.
A common mistake is treating compost like mulch and leaving it exposed on bare soil in beds. Compost wants to be worked into the top few inches with a rake or tiller so it actually improves soil structure, sandy loam especially benefits from this since loose compost left on the surface can wash or blow away before it does anything useful, particularly on slopes common around Hazleton's hillier lots.
If you are amending a large bed area, compost and topsoil blended together stretches further than straight compost and costs less overall, since compost is doing the nutrient work while topsoil provides bulk. Save straight, undiluted compost for lawn topdressing and smaller bed areas where you want the concentrated organic matter, and blend for larger fill jobs.
Sandy loam around Hazleton drains well but does not hold nutrients or moisture the way a heavier soil would, so compost worked into beds makes a real difference here rather than being a nice-to-have. At 1886 feet with a growing season that runs roughly May 10 to October 7, there is a decent window to topdress lawns or amend beds before frost shuts things down. Whether you are prepping beds in spring for planting or topdressing lawns in fall before dormancy, compost is doing structural work in this soil, not just adding color. Mountain City properties often deal with rockier subsoil too, and a compost layer worked into the top few inches helps roots get established before hitting that harder ground.
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.
