I had a great experience with Mulch Mound. I had originally ordered from a competitor but they didn’t deliver (pun intended) on the various days they had promised. I was able to get a refund on the order and shop elsewhere. I read the good reviews for this company and decided to give them a try. I loved how easy it was to order online, pick day/time for delivery, and even specify where on my driveway I wanted the mulch placed. The delivery was on time and the driver was very courteous. I will be ordering again next year. Thank you!

Excellent service! The mulch we ordered was high quality and exactly what I was looking for. The driver was very respectful and responsive. He confirmed the placement of the mulch and dumped it where I asked. I will definitely order from Mulch Mound again!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Benton's long gravel drives shed stone into the ditch every winter. Top dress with a three quarter inch minus limestone rather than clean rock, since the fines lock together and crown properly under a roller or even a loaded truck tire. Aim for a two inch lift and a slight center crown. Most Benton drives need six to ten yards to look new again.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Benton yards edged in gravel drive and field lines need a real separation to stay tidy. Cut a four inch deep spade edge or set steel edging between lawn and mulch bed, then mulch to the top of the edge, not over it. Bermuda and fescue creep aggressively into Benton beds by midsummer, and a clean vertical trench stops runners better than plastic edging.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fall is the strongest planting season in Benton. Trees and shrubs set in the ground between mid September and late October root through a warm soil profile before the November 1 frost, then wake up established. Water deeply once a week until the ground freezes and ring each new plant with three inches of hardwood mulch, kept off the trunk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

What is the difference between clean rock and crusher run for a Benton driveway?

Clean rock has the fines screened out, so it drains well but never locks together and tends to rut and scatter. Crusher run, or three quarter inch minus, includes stone dust that binds under compaction. For a Benton driving surface use the minus. Save clean rock for drainage trenches and around downspouts.

Answer

How many yards of gravel does my driveway need?

Multiply length by width in feet, then divide by 160 for a two inch lift. A 12 by 100 foot Benton drive comes out near seven and a half yards. Order a little extra for potholes and soft edges. If the base has never been built up, plan on two lifts over two seasons.

Answer

When is the best time of year to regravel in Benton?

Late spring or early fall, when the base is moist but not saturated. Damp stone compacts far better than bone dry stone, so a day or two after rain is ideal. Avoid the wet stretch of February and March, when a truck can rut a soft Benton base worse than the potholes you started with.

Benton serves as Franklin County's seat, surrounded by farm ground and lake properties near Rend Lake. Yards tend to be large, so bulk delivery beats bagged material by a wide margin on both cost and effort. Requests here run toward pasture blend topsoil, driveway rock, and mulch by the ten yard load. MulchMound trucks reach Benton addresses and outlying county roads without a surcharge headache.
