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 rate for topdressing an established lawn. If you are amending a new bed, plan on 2 to 3 inches tilled in, which cuts coverage down to roughly 108 to 162 square feet per yard. Measure the bed or lawn 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 a new bed from scratch in North Ridgeville's silt loam, since straight compost alone will not carry the structure a raised bed needs long term. For lawns, a lot of customers order compost alongside a load of shredded mulch for the beds so both projects get handled on the same delivery. If you are dealing with the tighter clay pockets some neighborhoods have, a coarser soil amendment underneath the compost layer helps drainage more than compost by itself.
Finished compost should smell earthy, not sour or ammonia-like, if it smells off it has not fully cured and can burn tender roots. When topdressing lawns in North Ridgeville, work it in with a rake or the back of a leaf rake so it settles into the thatch layer instead of sitting on top where it can crust over during dry spells between spring rains.
The most common mistake we see is piling compost on too thick thinking it will feed the lawn faster. More than an inch on turf can actually smother grass and lock up nitrogen temporarily as it breaks down further. Stick to the 1 inch topdress rate and let it work into the silt loam over a few weeks rather than trying to get a season's worth of benefit in one application.
Buying compost by the cubic yard instead of bags gets you a better price per square foot once you are covering more than a few hundred square feet, which is most lawns and beds in town. If you are amending several beds around the property, order one larger load rather than several small ones, it is more efficient to place once and wheelbarrow it out than to schedule multiple drops.
Silt loam holds water well but compacts easily under foot traffic and heavy clay-like pockets show up in older North Ridgeville subdivisions. A thin layer of compost worked into the top few inches loosens that structure over a season or two without the drainage problems straight clay amendments can cause. With our zone 6b frost window, spring topdressing after the last frost around April 30 or fall applications before the ground firms up in October both work, the compost has time to integrate either way. Gardeners building new beds near the older parts of town tend to till it in deeper since the native soil needs more structural help than a quick surface pass gives it.
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.
