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 covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right thickness for topdressing an established lawn. For bed amendment at 2 to 3 inches, plan on roughly 100 to 160 square feet per yard depending on how deep you till it in. Measure your lawn or bed area first, then match it to the depth you actually need rather than rounding up.

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 when you are building new beds from scratch, giving you structure plus organic matter in one pass. For lawns, many Marysville customers order compost in spring for topdressing and again in fall before overseeding. If you are also mulching beds after amending, a bark or wood mulch on top holds moisture through our drier summer stretch.
Service area
Fresh compost can be warm and slightly wet from the turning process, and Marysville's damp spring weather can keep it that way longer than you expect. Let a fresh load sit uncovered for a day or two if you can before working it into beds, especially near low-lying areas by the slough where drainage is already slow. Spreading warm compost directly against seedlings can stress young roots, so give it that short rest first.
The most common mistake here is piling compost too thick on lawns thinking it will speed up growth. At more than an inch, it can mat down and smother grass instead of feeding it, particularly in Marysville's wetter months when the lawn already struggles to dry out between rains. Stick to a thin topdress layer and rake it in so it settles between the blades rather than sitting on top.
If you are amending several beds around the property, order compost and mulch on the same delivery to save a second trip and truck access setup. Compost goes down first and gets worked into the soil, then mulch goes on top to lock in moisture, which matters once Marysville's summer dry stretch hits between the spring and fall rains.
Marysville's silt loam is fertile but it compacts, especially near Ebey Slough where the ground stays damp longer into spring. Compost worked into the top few inches loosens that structure and helps water move through instead of pooling. With a zone 8b growing season and frost holding off until late October, there is a wide window to topdress lawns or amend beds before winter rain arrives. Gardeners here also use it in spring ahead of the last frost to get beds ready for early planting.
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.
