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 right depth for topdressing an established lawn. For garden beds, plan on tilling in 2 to 3 inches, so a yard covers roughly 110 to 160 square feet at that depth. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then match it to the depth you need rather than guessing at a round number.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Compost pairs well with a layer of mulch on top once it is worked into beds, since the mulch holds moisture over the compost and slows breakdown. If you are topdressing a lawn, a light application of topsoil blended with compost can smooth out low spots at the same time. Some Yonkers customers doing both a lawn and a vegetable bed order compost for one and a bagged amendment for the other, but for most yards the compost alone does the job.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Compost that looks black and crumbly with no recognizable food scraps or wood chunks is finished and safe to use right away. If you see stringy fibers or it smells sour instead of earthy, let it sit a week before working it in, especially before Yonkers first frost in early November when microbial activity slows and unfinished compost breaks down more slowly in cold soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is piling compost on thick thinking more equals better results. At depths past 3 inches in beds, compost can actually tie up nitrogen temporarily as it continues breaking down, which shows up as yellowing leaves on new plantings. Stick to 1 inch on lawns and 2 to 3 inches tilled into beds, then repeat the application next season instead of overloading it once.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Compost and mulch do different jobs, so use compost to build soil and mulch to protect the surface. Many Yonkers yards on sloped lots benefit from compost worked into the top few inches before a mulch layer goes down, since the compost improves water retention on hillside beds while the mulch above slows erosion during heavy rain off the hills toward the river.

Building Better Soil in Yonkers

Yonkers sits on loam, which is a decent starting soil, but decades of building and compacted city lots mean a lot of yards need real organic matter to perform. Compost worked into beds here builds the structure that loam wants but often lacks after years of foot traffic and runoff toward the Hudson. With a growing season running roughly April 5 to November 5, there is a real window in both spring and fall to topdress lawns or refresh beds before the ground turns. Homeowners near Getty Square and up in the hillier residential streets both see the same benefit, better water retention on slopes and less crusting in flat yards.

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 and ready to use, or does it need to sit before I spread it?

It arrives fully finished and turned, so it is ready to spread or till in right away. You do not need to let it sit or cure further. Just check that it looks dark and crumbly with an earthy smell before use, which it should since it is finished before delivery.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical Yonkers backyard bed?

For a 200 square foot bed tilled to 2 to 3 inches, plan on roughly 1.25 to 1.8 cubic yards. For lawn topdressing at 1 inch, a yard covers about 324 square feet, so a typical quarter acre front lawn might need 3 to 4 yards depending on exact size.

Answer

When is the best time to apply compost in Yonkers, spring or fall?

Both work. Spring application ahead of planting season gets nutrients into beds before the growing push, while fall application before the November 5 frost lets compost work into the soil over winter. Many customers here do a light fall topdressing and a heavier spring bed amendment.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get into a narrow Yonkers driveway or do I need street access?

Most residential driveways work fine, but tell us at checkout if your access is tight or on a steep grade, which is common on the hillier streets here. We can plan the drop location around narrow lots or curbside placement if a driveway is not workable.

Answer

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

If you are starting a new bed from scratch, a topsoil and compost blend gives you both volume and nutrients. If you already have decent loam soil and just need to improve structure and fertility, compost alone tilled into your existing soil is usually enough and more cost effective.
