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 rate for topdressing an established lawn. If you are tilling into a new or renovated bed, plan on 2 to 3 inches worked into the soil, which cuts coverage down to roughly 108 to 162 square feet per yard. Measure your lawn or bed square footage first, then work backward from those numbers to land on a yard count.

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 when you are building out a new bed from scratch, and with mulch once the compost has been worked in and the bed needs a top layer for moisture retention. A lot of Myers Corner customers doing lawn renovations order compost alongside grass seed timed for that fall window before the October frost.
Service area
Finished compost should smell earthy, not sour or ammonia like. If a load smells off, it was not fully finished before turning, and applying it too heavy can actually tie up nitrogen in the soil rather than release it. Keep depths thin, 1 inch on lawns and no more than 3 inches tilled into beds, and let the soil biology do the rest of the work over the following weeks.
A common mistake in this area is applying compost right before a heavy fall rain, which can wash a thin lawn topdressing layer into low spots before it settles. Aim for a dry stretch of a few days after application, especially with silt loam, since it drains slower than sandy soil and holds surface water longer after storms.
If you are prepping several beds plus a lawn, order compost and mulch together in the same delivery window to save on separate trips. Compost goes down first and gets worked in, then mulch follows as the top layer once beds are shaped, which keeps the whole job to one weekend instead of two separate deliveries a few weeks apart.
Myers Corner sits on silt loam, which holds moisture well but can compact and go dense over a season of freeze and thaw. Compost worked into that soil opens it back up, feeding the microbial life that silt loam needs to stay workable through zone 6a winters. With frost typically arriving mid October and clearing by mid April, gardeners here have a decent spring and fall window to get compost down before the ground locks up or before summer heat stresses new plantings. It is a natural fit for bed prep around foundation plantings and for keeping lawns fed without pushing them toward disease with heavy synthetic fertilizer.
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.
