One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right amount for topdressing an established lawn. For bed work, plan on tilling in 2 to 3 inches, so figure roughly a third to a full cubic yard per 100 square feet depending on how deep you go. Measure your actual bed and lawn square footage first, then decide depth based on the project.

Compost pairs naturally with a topsoil blend when you are building new beds from scratch, and with mulch once the compost is worked in and you need something on top to hold moisture and block weeds. If you are overseeding a lawn this fall or spring, a light compost topdress right before seeding gives new grass a much better start in sandy soil.
In sandy loam like we have around Mount Pleasant, compost breaks down and gets absorbed into the soil faster than it would in clay, so do not be surprised if a spring application looks thinner by midsummer. That is actually a sign it is working. Reapply lightly each season rather than one heavy dose a year, especially on lawns that get regular irrigation, since watering speeds up how fast organic matter cycles through sandy ground.
The most common mistake we see is piling compost on thick thinking more equals better results. Finished compost is nutrient dense, and a layer over 3 inches tilled into beds can actually tie up nitrogen temporarily as soil microbes work to break it down further. Stick to 1 inch on lawns and 2 to 3 inches worked into beds, then let the soil do the rest over the following weeks.
If you are prepping a new bed, order compost and topsoil together rather than buying a pre-bagged garden blend, it is more cost efficient by the cubic yard and lets you control the ratio. A rough mix of two parts topsoil to one part compost works well in our sandy conditions, giving you body from the topsoil and organic matter from the compost without overdoing either one.
Sandy loam is the norm around Mount Pleasant, and it drains fast, which is great after a Lowcountry downpour but tough on anything trying to hold nutrients or moisture between waterings. Compost worked into that soil adds the organic matter sandy loam is missing, giving roots something to hold onto through our long, hot zone 9a growing season. It also helps buffer the swings between soggy spring rains and dry summer stretches. For lawns and beds near the coast, a little compost goes a long way toward correcting what the sand alone cannot do.
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.
