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 thickness for topdressing an established lawn. For beds, where you want 2 to 3 inches tilled in, figure closer to 110 to 160 square feet per cubic yard depending on depth. Measure your lawn or bed square footage first, then match it against the depth you actually need.

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 order if you're building new beds from scratch on till soil, since the topsoil gives you volume and the compost gives you fertility. For lawns, a lot of people follow topdressing with grass seed the same week while the surface is still loose. If you're mulching beds after amending, a bark or wood mulch on top helps hold moisture through the summer.
On glacial till, compost alone won't fix drainage in low spots, it improves structure but water still needs somewhere to go. If you've got a section of yard that stays soggy into May, grade it or add a drain line before you invest compost into it, otherwise you're feeding roots that are sitting in standing water most of the spring.
The most common mistake we see is people layering compost on thick thinking it'll feed the lawn faster. Past 3 inches in a bed, or more than 1 inch topdressed on turf, compost can actually tie up nitrogen while it keeps breaking down, which stunts growth instead of boosting it. Thin and even beats thick every time with finished compost.
If you're doing a big bed renovation, it's more efficient to order topsoil and compost together and blend on site than to buy pure compost for the whole volume. Compost is doing the fertility work, not the bulk work, so a 70/30 or 80/20 topsoil to compost mix for new beds stretches your order further and still gets the soil structure benefit.
Glacial till around Lebanon tends to be dense, full of small stones, and slow to drain, which makes root growth hard for anything but the toughest lawn grass. Compost worked into that soil breaks up the structure over a season or two and gives plants something better to root into than compacted subsoil. With a zone 5a growing season bookended by an April 15 last frost and an October 1 first frost, both spring and fall give you a real window to work compost in before or after the growing months. A lot of Upper Valley yards use it for lawn top dressing in fall and bed building in spring, and either works fine.
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.
