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 one inch depth, which is the right depth for top dressing a lawn. For bed work, where two to three inches tilled in is standard, plan on one yard covering roughly 110 to 160 square feet depending on how deep you go. Measure your actual bed or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you need 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 naturally with a topsoil blend on new beds where the clay needs both structure and volume, and with mulch laid on top to hold moisture once the compost is worked in. If you are overseeding a lawn in fall, a thin compost top dress ahead of seed gives new grass something better than raw clay to root into.
On Sandy Springs red clay, do not just dump compost on top and walk away. Till it into the top four to six inches of soil so it actually blends with the clay instead of sitting as a separate layer that water runs off of. A hard rake or a rented tiller works for most residential beds. Skipping this step is the number one reason compost jobs here underperform, the clay stays clay right below a thin organic cap.
More compost is not better, and this trips people up. Piling on four or five inches ties up nitrogen as it keeps breaking down and can actually stunt what you are trying to grow. Stick to one inch for lawn top dressing and two to three inches tilled into beds. If you want more organic matter over time, do it in two applications a season apart rather than one heavy load.
Buying compost by the cubic yard instead of bags saves real money once you are covering more than a couple hundred square feet, and it cuts down on the plastic bag waste that piles up fast on a bed renovation. If you are also bringing in mulch or topsoil for the same project, schedule them close together so you are not doing separate driveway drop offs and moving material twice.
Sandy Springs sits on heavy red clay that compacts fast and drains slow, especially on the older lots near the river where grading pushed clay closer to the surface. Compost tilled two to three inches into that clay breaks up the structure so roots and water can actually move through it. On lawns, a thin top dressing works into the thatch over a season and improves what is underneath without smothering grass. With zone 8a summers and a frost window running mid November to late March, compost gets used in both spring bed prep and fall soil building here, not just one season.
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.
