About this compost

Finished screened compost, fully broken down and ready to work into beds. The general purpose choice for building soil that holds water and feeds roots.

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!

One cubic yard of this compost covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the standard 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 bed square footage and divide accordingly before ordering.

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.

Compost pairs well with a mulch top layer once it is worked into beds, since the mulch holds moisture in and slows weed pressure on the amended soil underneath. If you are also top dressing a lawn, a light topsoil blend can help level low spots before the compost goes down. Most people ordering compost in bulk here are doing one or both of those jobs in the same visit.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

On sandy loam like most of Wyoming has, compost breaks down and disperses faster than it would in clay, so a 2 inch till depth in beds is usually enough, you do not need to push to 3 unless the bed has been neglected for years. Going heavier does not speed up soil building, it just sits there and can actually tie up nitrogen while microbes work through the excess.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is piling fresh compost thick on a lawn expecting faster greening. Keep lawn top dressing at 1 inch and rake it in so it settles between blades instead of smothering them. Compost this finished still needs contact with soil to do its job, a thick mat on top of grass just sheds water and dries out before it can work in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are doing both a lawn top dress and a bed till in the same season, order compost as one larger delivery rather than two smaller ones, it is easier to stage and use before it dries out on the pile. Pair it with mulch on beds right after tilling, the mulch layer keeps the compost from drying and blowing off before it integrates into that sandy loam base.

Building Better Soil in Wyoming

Wyoming sits on sandy loam, which drains fast and does not hold nutrients the way heavier clay soils do. Compost worked into beds here builds the organic matter that sandy soil is usually short on, giving roots something to hold onto between rains. With a growing season that runs roughly May 7 to October 12 in zone 6a, spring and fall are both good windows to get compost down before planting or before the ground closes up for winter. It is common here to see compost used as lawn top dressing in fall and bed prep in spring, sometimes both.

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

Answer

Is this compost finished enough to use right away in my garden beds?

Yes, this is finished compost, turned and stabilized before delivery, so it is ready to till into beds or top dress a lawn without further curing. You do not need to let it sit, though keeping the pile covered if rain is coming will keep it workable longer before you spread it.

Answer

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

A quarter acre is about 10,890 square feet, and one cubic yard covers 324 square feet at 1 inch, so you would need roughly 34 cubic yards for a full 1 inch top dress. Most people split large lawns into sections and order in stages if that is more manageable.

Answer

Should I put compost down in spring or fall here in Wyoming?

Both work, and it depends on your project. Fall, ahead of the October 12 frost, is popular for lawn top dressing since it feeds the lawn before winter dormancy. Spring, after the May 7 last frost, is common for bed prep before planting. Compost sells both seasons for these reasons.

Answer

Where will the compost be dropped and do I need to be home?

The load is placed on a hard surface like a driveway that you specify at checkout, and you do not need to be home as long as the drop spot is clear and accessible for a full size truck. Just make sure there is enough clearance for the delivery vehicle to reach the spot.

Answer

Should I get compost or topsoil for building up a new bed?

Compost is better for adding organic matter and improving nutrient content, especially in the sandy loam common around Wyoming, while topsoil is more about bulk fill and leveling. Many beds benefit from a topsoil base with compost worked into the top few inches rather than one or the other alone.
