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 compost covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right thickness for topdressing an established lawn. For garden beds you're tilling in 2 to 3 inches, so figure a cubic yard closer to 110 to 160 square feet depending on how deep you go. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you're actually installing 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.
Compost pairs well with a mulch topcoat once it's worked into beds, the mulch holds moisture over the amended soil and cuts down on how often you're watering in our heat. For lawns, a lot of people topdress compost right before overseeding or right after aerating so it settles into the holes. If your beds are more sand than soil to start, a layer of topsoil under the compost gives you more to work with.

Finished compost should look and smell like dark soil, not like fresh grass clippings or food scraps. If a load smells sour or ammonia sharp, that's a sign it wasn't fully broken down and it can actually burn tender roots or lock up nitrogen temporarily as it keeps decomposing in your bed. Give it a squeeze test too, it should hold together loosely without dripping water, sandy soil especially doesn't need extra moisture added on top.
The biggest mistake we see is piling compost on thick thinking more equals better results. At 2 to 3 inches tilled into a bed you're set, going deeper than that can actually tie up nitrogen as microbes work through the extra organic matter, leaving less available for your plants in the short term. Thin and even beats thick and uneven every time, especially on lawns where a 1 inch topdress is genuinely all it takes.
Because our soil here drains so fast, compost breaks down and washes through a bit quicker than it would in denser clay soils up north. That means a spring application and a fall application both earn their keep instead of one heavy dose trying to carry the whole year. Pairing compost with a mulch layer on top also slows that breakdown and keeps you from needing to reapply as often.
Port St Lucie sits on sandy soil that drains almost too well, water and nutrients wash through before roots can use them. Compost worked into that sand adds the organic matter and structure it's missing, which matters more here than in places with naturally heavier soil. With a zone 10a growing season that runs nearly year round, plants are actively pulling on the soil for most of the calendar, so beds and lawns benefit from compost in both spring and fall rather than a single yearly pass. This is especially useful near newer construction where topsoil was scraped and subsoil is mostly sand.
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.
