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 1 inch depth, which is the right rate for topdressing an established lawn. If you're amending a new bed, plan on 2 to 3 inches tilled in, which cuts that coverage down to roughly 110 to 160 square feet per yard. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you actually 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 well with a topsoil blend if you're building up a bed from scratch, or with mulch laid on top to hold moisture once the compost is worked in. For lawns, a lot of Wilson customers order compost alongside a load of sand for leveling low spots in that clay soil before topdressing.
Service area
In Wilson's sandy clay loam, compost worked in shallow does more good than compost buried deep. Till it into the top 4 to 6 inches of a bed rather than double digging it under, since most of the biological activity that improves clay structure happens near the surface where oxygen and moisture cycle through. Deeper placement just sits there without breaking down the compaction you're trying to fix.
The most common mistake we see is topdressing a lawn thicker than an inch thinking it'll green things up faster. It actually smothers grass blades and can suffocate the lawn under a mat that takes weeks to break down in cooler fall weather. Stick to a true 1 inch layer and rake it in so it settles down to the soil surface instead of sitting on top of the grass.
If you're doing a big bed renovation, compost stretches further mixed half and half with existing native soil rather than used as a full replacement fill. This cuts your yardage need almost in half while still giving Wilson's clay the organic boost it's short on. Save straight compost for smaller accent beds or lawn topdressing where full strength matters more.
Sandy clay loam around Wilson drains fast in summer and compacts hard the rest of the year, so it needs organic matter added regularly to hold moisture and nutrients. Compost worked into beds loosens that compaction and gives roots something to push through besides tight clay. On lawns, a thin topdressing feeds soil biology through both the spring green up and the fall cool season push before frost. With growing season bracketed by an April 2 last frost and an October 29 first frost, there are two real windows each year to work compost in before planting cycles start.
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.
