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 this compost covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right amount for lawn top dressing. If you are tilling into beds at 2 to 3 inches, plan on roughly 100 to 160 square feet per cubic yard depending on which end of that range you use. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then decide whether you are top dressing or amending before you order.

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 bare ground, or with mulch laid on top once the compost has been worked in to hold moisture and keep it from washing during a hard spring rain. A lot of Hopkinsville customers order compost and mulch together for the same delivery to cover both the amending and the finishing step in one trip.
Service area
Silt loam around Hopkinsville tends to crust after compost sits exposed, especially if a dry spell follows a spring delivery. Rake finished compost into the top inch of soil within a day or two of delivery rather than letting it sit on the surface, this keeps it from forming a hard skin and helps it start integrating with the native soil right away instead of just sitting on top as a layer.
The most common mistake we see is piling compost on thick thinking more equals better results. Finished compost applied deeper than 3 inches in beds can actually lock up nitrogen as soil microbes work to break down the extra organic matter, which starves nearby plants instead of feeding them. Stick to 1 inch for lawns and 2 to 3 inches tilled into beds, and repeat seasonally instead of overloading in one application.
Fall application, after harvest but before the October 30 frost date, gives compost all winter to integrate into silt loam beds before spring planting. That timing also tends to line up with cooler weather for spreading, which is easier work than a humid Kentucky summer. If you are doing both lawn and beds, order enough in one delivery to handle both since compost breaks down in a pile if left sitting too long before use.
Silt loam is the dominant soil type across Hopkinsville, and it holds water well but can compact and crust over time, especially in yards that have been mowed and walked on for years. Compost worked into that soil loosens it up and feeds the microbial life that keeps it from going hard. With a growing season that runs frost to frost from late April to late October, there is a real window in spring and again in fall to get compost down before planting or before winter dormancy. People here use it heavily in raised beds and foundation plantings near Trail of Tears Heritage Center and similar older residential areas where the topsoil has been stripped or built over.
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.
