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 thickness for topdressing an established lawn. If you are amending a new bed and tilling in 2 to 3 inches, plan on that same yard covering roughly 110 to 160 square feet instead, since depth eats into coverage fast. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you actually need rather than guessing.

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.
A lot of Madisonville customers pair compost with mulch, spreading compost first to feed the soil then topping with mulch to hold moisture and keep weeds down. If you are building new beds in that silt loam base, a load of compost mixed with a coarser soil blend gives you both drainage and nutrition. For lawns, compost topdressing after core aeration in fall gets the material into contact with soil instead of sitting on thatch.

Do not till fresh compost more than 2 to 3 inches deep into beds around here, even though the silt loam looks like it could handle more organic matter. Finished compost is concentrated, and piling it on thick can actually lock up nitrogen temporarily as soil microbes work through the extra material. A thin, well worked layer beats a thick one every time, especially the first year you are building a new bed.
The biggest mistake we see is spreading compost on a lawn thicker than an inch, thinking more will green things up faster. Instead it smothers grass blades and creates a mat that takes weeks to break down. Rake it in lightly right after spreading so it settles down to the soil rather than sitting on top, and water it in if there is no rain in the forecast that week.
Compost and mulch do different jobs, so do not swap one for the other to save a trip. Compost feeds soil and breaks down within a season, mulch sits on top and lasts a year or more while holding moisture. Ordering both in the same delivery, compost down first then mulch over it, gets you a bed that is fed and protected without doubling up on labor or truck trips.
Silt loam is the base soil across most of Madisonville, and it is naturally decent at holding water but it compacts over time and loses organic matter, especially on lots that got scraped down during construction. Compost worked into the top few inches rebuilds that structure so roots can push through instead of hitting a dense layer. With a zone 7a growing season running from mid April to late October, you have a wide window to topdress lawns or amend beds before things get busy. People here tend to build beds around the fall and spring shoulder seasons, which lines up well with when compost actually does its best work.
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.
