One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right depth for lawn top dressing. For bed work, where 2 to 3 inches gets tilled in, plan on that same yard covering roughly 108 to 162 square feet. Measure the square footage of your beds or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you're going for before ordering.

Complete Your Outdoor Project
Compost pairs naturally with a topsoil blend when you're building a new bed from scratch, since the compost brings the biology and the topsoil brings the bulk. If you're mulching after amending, a bark or hardwood mulch on top holds moisture in the compost layer and keeps it from crusting over in Texarkana's summer heat.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
In sandy loam, compost tilled in dry tends to float back to the surface with the first heavy rain instead of blending into the soil profile. Water the bed lightly before tilling and again right after, this helps the compost bind with the sand particles instead of sitting on top. It's a small step that makes the difference between compost that actually amends your soil and compost that just washes to the low spot in your yard.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake we see is piling compost on thick thinking it'll feed the lawn faster. At more than about 1 inch on turf, finished compost can mat down and smother grass blades before they push through, especially in the humid stretches Texarkana gets in late spring. Stick to a thin top dressing worked in with a rake, and repeat the process seasonally rather than dumping it all at once.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're planning both a spring and a fall application, it's often more efficient to order a slightly larger load in spring and cover the leftover pile with a tarp than to pay for two separate deliveries months apart. Just keep it somewhere it won't wash out in a heavy rain, a corner of the driveway or a spot with a slight backstop works fine until fall.
Building Better Soil in Texarkana
Sandy loam around Texarkana lets water move through quickly, which also means nutrients wash out before plants can use them. Compost worked into the top few inches gives that soil something to hold onto, both moisture and fertility, without changing its drainage character. With a growing season that runs from late March to mid November, there are two real windows here, spring bed prep before the heat sets in and fall top dressing before the first frost around November 14. Either way, compost is doing the same job, building structure the sand alone can't hold.
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.
