I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

One cubic yard of this compost covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right depth for topdressing an established lawn. If you're tilling compost into a new or existing bed, plan on 2 to 3 inches worked into the soil, which cuts your coverage down to roughly 108 to 162 square feet per cubic yard. Measure your square footage first, then decide if you're topdressing or amending, since the depth changes your order size a lot.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Compost pairs well with a topsoil delivery if you're building new beds from scratch, since the topsoil gives you bulk and the compost gives you fertility. For lawns, a lot of Smithfield customers order compost alongside mulch for the beds bordering the yard, so the whole property gets refreshed in one delivery. If you're seeding or overseeding after topdressing, having both on hand at once keeps the project moving without a second trip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Smithfield's silt loam, don't till compost in deeper than 3 inches even in a new bed, because silt loam already holds moisture well and too much organic matter mixed too deep can create a soggy layer that roots avoid. Blend it into the top few inches only and let earthworms and freeze thaw cycles move it deeper over a season or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is topdressing a lawn right before a hard frost hits, since the compost sits on cold ground without breaking down or feeding the grass. With Smithfield's first frost landing around October 5, aim to topdress by mid September so the compost has a few weeks of active soil temperatures to start integrating before winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're amending several beds around the property, order compost and mulch together rather than in separate trips, since the mulch goes on top of the compost anyway and one delivery visit covers both. This also lets you time everything to the same weekend instead of chasing two separate schedules during a busy spring or fall.

Building Better Soil in Smithfield

Smithfield sits at 4636 feet with silt loam soil that drains fine but can compact and run low on organic matter, especially on lawns that get regular foot traffic. Compost worked into beds or top dressed on turf adds back the biology and structure that silt loam loses over time. With a zone 6a growing season bookended by an October 5 first frost and a May 5 last frost, spring and fall are both natural windows to get compost down before or after the active growing months. A lot of the beds we deliver to around Smithfield Canyon are working with the same tight, silty soil, so compost does real work there rather than just sitting on top.

What Finished Compost Is

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.

How Much to Apply

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.

When to Apply

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is this compost finished or will it still smell and heat up in my yard?

It's finished compost, meaning it has already gone through the hot, active breakdown phase and been turned and stabilized. You won't get the strong odor or heat you'd see from fresh yard waste. It's ready to topdress a lawn or till into a bed right away without any additional aging on your part.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a quarter acre lawn topdressing?

A quarter acre is about 10,890 square feet. At a 1 inch topdressing depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so you'd need roughly 34 cubic yards to cover the whole area. Most people topdress in sections over a couple seasons rather than all at once, so consider splitting the order if that fits your plan better.

Answer

Should I topdress my lawn in spring or fall here in Smithfield?

Both work, and that's actually why we sell compost in both seasons. Fall topdressing before the October 5 frost lets compost settle in before winter dormancy, while spring application after the May 5 last frost feeds the lawn heading into its active growing months. Pick whichever fits your yard's current condition and your own schedule.

Answer

Where will the truck place the compost and do I need a clear driveway?

Our driver places the load wherever you indicate, typically a driveway, curb, or open area with enough clearance for the delivery truck. Clear the spot of vehicles and obstacles beforehand, and let us know if your access is tight or has a slope, since Smithfield's terrain near the canyon can vary block to block.

Answer

What's the difference between ordering compost versus topsoil for my raised beds?

Topsoil gives you the bulk volume and mineral base for a raised bed, while compost adds the organic matter and nutrients that make that soil productive. Most raised beds do best with a blend, often topsoil as the majority with compost mixed in at the 2 to 3 inch equivalent. If your beds already have soil and just need a refresh, compost alone tilled in is usually enough.”
