My experience with Mulch Mound was great and super easy. I ordered two yards of screened topsoil and was able to get it delivered within 2 days. They came in my requested time frame (afternoon) and dropped it off where I asked on my driveway. The topsoil was exactly what was advertised, clean with no rocks or other debris. The price was reasonable. I plan to use them again in a couple weeks to order compost for my garden beds.

The website was intuitive and easy to navigate. The material was delivered the date and time it was scheduled, it was dropped off in the area i had specified on top of my tarp with no issues.

I ordered soil, the Gardening Blend that I received had too many plastic and metal pieces for my liking thus lowering the score from a perfect 5/5 to a 4/5

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

New Carterville lawns fail more often from timing than from seed quality. With a last frost around April 8 and a first frost near November 1, the smart window for seeding fescue is late August into mid September, when soil stays warm and weeds slow down. Spread a quarter inch of compost as a seed blanket. Carterville lawns started in fall root in before summer heat arrives.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Carterville lawns respond well to core aeration paired with a compost topdressing. Pull plugs in early September, then broadcast a quarter inch of screened compost and drag it into the holes. That drops organic matter down where roots live instead of leaving it on the surface. In silt loam, this loosens the top layer and improves how the soil takes on our 46 inches of yearly rain.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

When installing new Carterville beds, spend the money on soil rather than plants. Excavate six to eight inches, then backfill with a 70 30 blend of screened topsoil and compost. Shrubs planted into good soil catch up to and pass larger specimens jammed into unamended ground within two seasons. One yard of blend fills roughly a 40 square foot bed at that depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

How much compost should I put down when overseeding in Carterville?

A quarter inch layer is plenty, which works out to about one cubic yard per 1,300 square feet. That is enough to hold seed moisture without burying the crowns of existing grass. Rake it in lightly after spreading seed, then keep the surface damp for two to three weeks until germination finishes.

Answer

Should I use topsoil or a topsoil compost blend for a new lawn?

A blend. Straight screened topsoil in Carterville is mostly silt loam with little organic matter, so it crusts and sheds water. A 70 30 topsoil and compost mix holds moisture, drains better, and gives seedlings something to feed on. Spread three to four inches over graded subsoil before seeding.

Answer

Can I seed a Carterville lawn in the spring instead of fall?

You can, but expect more work. Spring seeding around mid April leaves young fescue facing July heat with a shallow root system, and crabgrass competes hard. If spring is your only option, water consistently and skip preemergent herbicide. Late August through mid September remains the far better window here.
