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 what you want for lawn top dressing. For bed work, where 2 to 3 inches gets tilled in, plan on roughly a third to a half of that coverage per yard, so measure your beds first and work backward from there. Most Russellville customers doing a few beds order 2 to 3 yards, while a full lawn top dress calls for more depending on square footage.

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 mulch top layer once it is worked into beds, since the mulch holds moisture in and slows the compost from drying out too fast. For lawn projects, a light layer of topsoil or sand blended in before top dressing helps level low spots. If you are rebuilding a bed from scratch, ordering compost and mulch together on the same delivery saves a second trip.

Do not pile finished compost more than 3 inches deep in beds, even though it seems like more would speed things up. Compost that thick can actually lock up nitrogen temporarily as soil microbes work through it, which shows up as yellowing leaves a few weeks after application. In Russellville's silt loam, 2 inches tilled to about 6 inches deep gives better results than a thicker surface layer left untouched.
A common mistake is top dressing lawns right before a big rain event, common in spring along the Arkansas River Valley. Heavy rain can wash a thin compost layer into low spots or storm drains before it has a chance to settle into the turf. Check the forecast and aim for a dry stretch of a few days after spreading, letting it filter down between grass blades instead of running off.
If you are treating multiple beds plus a lawn, order compost for everything in one delivery rather than splitting it into smaller orders over separate weeks. It is easier to manage one pile and move material as you go than to coordinate multiple trips. Pair it with mulch on the same order if beds need a top layer too, since spreading both in the same weekend keeps the whole yard consistent.
Silt loam around Russellville holds moisture well but can compact and lose structure over a hot Arkansas River Valley summer. Working finished compost into that soil in spring or fall rebuilds the crumb structure and helps roots push through instead of hitting a dense layer. With zone 7b's long growing season, plants get more time to benefit from that improved structure once compost is worked in. It also helps beds near Lake Dardanelle drain better after heavy spring rain instead of staying waterlogged.
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.
