About this compost

Finished screened compost, fully broken down and ready to work into beds. The general purpose choice for building soil that holds water and feeds roots.

Compost is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right depth for lawn top dressing. If you're tilling into beds at the recommended 2 to 3 inches, plan on roughly a third to a tenth of that coverage per yard depending on depth, so measure your bed square footage first and work backward from there.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Compost pairs well with a topsoil blend when you're building new beds from scratch, giving you structure plus organic matter in one pass. For lawn areas, many people follow a compost top dressing with grass seed or overseeding, timed for spring or early fall. If you're also mulching beds after tilling in compost, a bark or wood mulch on top helps hold moisture through the summer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

With Kenosha's clay loam, don't till compost in deeper than 3 inches thinking it'll speed up the improvement. Clay soil already drains slowly, and burying too much organic matter too deep can create a soggy layer that suffocates roots instead of helping them. Stick to 2 to 3 inches worked into the top layer where soil life is active, and let repeated seasonal applications build structure gradually rather than trying to fix it in one shot.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is top dressing lawns right before a hard frost expecting quick results. In zone 5b, an October application close to the October 15 frost date barely has time to settle before the ground locks up. Either get compost down by mid-September for lawns, or wait until the grass is actively growing again in spring after the April 25 last frost, so soil biology can actually incorporate it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're amending several beds around the yard, order compost and topsoil together in one delivery rather than making two separate trips. It saves on scheduling and lets you blend the two on site in whatever ratio each bed actually needs, since a vegetable bed and a perennial border don't want the same mix.

Building Better Soil in Kenosha

Clay loam holds water and compacts easily, and that's the dominant soil type around Kenosha, so working compost into beds a couple inches deep helps break up that density over time and improves drainage. With a growing season bounded by an April 25 last frost and an October 15 first frost, both spring and fall give you a solid window to amend beds before planting or before the ground closes up for winter. Lawn top dressing in thin layers is common here too, since clay loam lawns tend to get compacted and benefit from that added structure without smothering the grass. Zone 5b winters mean organic matter breaks down and integrates over a full freeze-thaw cycle, so fall applications have time to work before spring growth.

What Finished Compost Is

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.

How Much to Apply

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.

When to Apply

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

How much compost do I actually need for my garden beds in Kenosha?

For beds, plan on tilling in 2 to 3 inches, which uses roughly a third of a cubic yard per 100 square feet at 2 inches. Measure your bed's square footage, decide your depth, and we can help you size the exact order. Clay loam beds generally do best at the higher end of that range.

Answer

How far does one cubic yard of compost go on a lawn?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the standard rate for lawn top dressing. If your lawn is larger, multiply the square footage by that coverage rate to figure how many yards to order.

Answer

Is spring or fall better for adding compost to clay soil here?

Both work, compost sells through spring and fall in Kenosha. Spring after the April 25 last frost gives beds a boost before planting, while fall applications before the October 15 first frost let the compost integrate into clay loam over winter. Pick whichever matches your project timeline.

Answer

Where will the compost be dropped and do I need to move it myself?

We place the load at a driveway, curb, or accessible spot you specify at checkout. From there, you'll need to move it by wheelbarrow to beds or lawn areas, so clear a path beforehand and have your tools ready.

Answer

Should I get compost or topsoil for improving my clay loam soil?

Compost is the better choice for improving soil structure and adding organic matter, which is what heavy clay loam around Kenosha actually needs. Topsoil is denser and better for filling or leveling. Many people use both, topsoil to build volume and compost to improve texture and drainage.
