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. If you are tilling into a new bed at 2 to 3 inches, plan on roughly a third to half that coverage per yard, so measure your bed square footage first and divide accordingly. Most River Falls yards need somewhere between 1 and 4 yards depending on whether the job is a lawn refresh or a full bed build.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

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 top layer of mulch once it is worked in, since the mulch holds moisture over the amended soil and slows weed pressure. If you are building new beds from scratch, ordering topsoil alongside compost gives you the bulk fill with the organic boost mixed at the edges. Some River Falls customers add both in the same delivery to avoid a second trip.

In River Falls silt loam, thin applications work better than thick ones. Top dress lawns at 1 inch and let it filter down through mowing and rain rather than piling it on, since a heavy layer can mat and smother grass. For beds, till 2 to 3 inches into the top layer of soil rather than leaving it sitting on the surface, especially before spring planting once the ground has fully thawed past 938 feet elevation.
A common mistake is applying compost right before a hard freeze and expecting it to break down over winter. In zone 4b, soil biology slows dramatically once temperatures drop, so compost applied in late fall mostly just sits until spring. If you are doing a fall application, get it down well before the October 7 average first frost so there is still active soil life to start integrating it.
Compost and mulch do different jobs, so do not substitute one for the other. Compost feeds soil structure and nutrients, mulch conserves moisture and blocks weeds on top. Ordering both in the same delivery, compost for the root zone and mulch for the surface, gets a bed fully set up in one visit instead of amending twice over two seasons.
River Falls sits on silt loam that holds moisture well but can compact and lose structure over a few growing seasons, especially in yards disturbed by construction near the Gorge bluffs. Compost worked into that soil rebuilds pore space and feeds the microbial life that silt loam needs to stay workable. With a zone 4b winter locking the ground up from October to early May, compost applied in either the spring flush or the fall wind down gets time to integrate before or after the freeze. It is one of the few amendments that helps whether you are prepping beds in April or top dressing lawns before the first frost.
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.
