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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Massing fewer species creates stronger visual impact in Arlington Heights landscapes than scattering one of everything throughout beds with no repetition. Simplified plant palettes with intentional repetition of key species read as professional, purposeful design. Excessive variety without organizational structure appears random and confused rather than curated.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Raised beds are an excellent solution for Arlington Heights properties with compacted silt loam or poor drainage near foundations. Building beds 10 to 12 inches tall with a quality topsoil and compost blend gives vegetable and perennial roots the loose, aerated growing environment they need. This is especially valuable in Arlington Heights neighborhoods where decades of lawn use have significantly reduced native soil structure and drainage capacity.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Winter mulching is critical for Arlington Heights gardeners protecting marginally hardy perennials through Zone 5b temperatures. After the October 1 first frost kills back foliage, apply 4 inches of straw or shredded leaves over crowns of lavender, ornamental grasses, and newly planted shrubs. Remove this protective layer gradually in spring as temperatures rise reliably past freezing, usually after May 1 in Arlington Heights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much bulk topsoil should I order to fill raised beds in Arlington Heights?

A standard 4x8-foot raised bed at 10 inches deep needs roughly 1 cubic yard of soil blend. Order a mix of screened topsoil and compost for best results. Arlington Heights' native silt loam is decent but often compacted, so raised beds with fresh fill give vegetables and perennials a genuine advantage from the start.

Answer

What mulch depth best protects Arlington Heights plants from Zone 5b winters?

Apply 3 to 4 inches of shredded hardwood mulch before the October 1 first frost. This depth insulates roots from the freeze-thaw fluctuations common in Arlington Heights while keeping soil from cycling too quickly. Avoid piling mulch directly against woody stems, which traps moisture and can encourage rot during wet Illinois winters.

Answer

Can bulk compost help renovate a thin or bare lawn in Arlington Heights?

Yes, topdressing with a quarter-inch layer of screened compost before overseeding improves seed-to-soil contact and adds organic matter to compacted silt loam. In Arlington Heights, late August to mid-September is the ideal seeding window, and compost helps retain moisture during the critical germination period without waterlogging the seedbed.
