I used Mulch Mound to have 3 cubic yards of garden soil delivered. The process was easy and I love that I didn't have to call anyone. I placed my order online, picked my delivery date, laid out my tarp and the dirt was delivered. My delivery had to be pushed back, but I was kept informed via text, which was great. So why not 5 stars? The description of garden soil on the website is "A balanced mix of topsoil and organic amendments ready for raised beds, flower gardens, and new planting areas. Good drainage, solid nutrients, easy to work with." What I got was more like fill dirt. It had a lot of gravel, a lot of clay, and random trash mixed in. I didn't test the soil to see if it actually had "amendments" because I already have compost and alpaca manure ready to add, but if I'd known the quality of the dirt was going to be the same as the bagged dirt I bought last year, I probably would have gotten 2 yards of top soil and a yard of leaf compost for better quality, especially since the leaf compost is cheaper.

I had a great experience ordering from Mulch Mound- they offered a quick turnaround and they delivered a generous/heaping 4 cubic yards. Driver was kind and professional, couldn’t have asked for an easier or better experience.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Chesterton, where yards often border wooded lots or naturalistic plantings influenced by the dunes environment, material selection shapes the entire feel of a landscape. Hardwood bark mulch blends beautifully with native plant beds and breaks down over time to feed the area's sandy loam soil with organic matter. For paths and borders near dunes-inspired plantings, crushed limestone or river rock adds earthy texture without visually competing with the surrounding natural landscape.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Chesterton gardens benefit from a deliberate winter mulching routine applied before the first frost arrives around October 2. Pulling bulk shredded hardwood mulch up to four inches deep around perennial crowns and shrub root zones insulates against the freeze-thaw cycles that can heave shallow roots out of the ground. Pull the mulch a few inches back from plant stems to prevent moisture-related rot during the wet spring thaw that follows a Zone 6a winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Chesterton's proximity to the lakeshore means many yards carry sandy or silty soils that shed water quickly and run low on nutrients through the growing season. Blending bulk compost into planting beds at a ratio of roughly one part compost to three parts existing soil before installing perennials or shrubs dramatically improves moisture retention. This single amendment step measurably reduces irrigation demands during the dry stretches of July and August that regularly test Zone 6a gardens in this area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What type of mulch works best for Chesterton landscape beds near wooded areas?

Shredded hardwood bark mulch is an excellent fit for Chesterton yards bordering wooded lots because it mimics the natural duff layer found on a forest floor. It breaks down gradually, feeding soil biology while maintaining a consistent texture that resists blowing in the lake breezes common to this area. A three-inch application each spring keeps beds looking tidy and weed-resistant through the full growing season.

Answer

Can I use bulk decorative stone instead of mulch in my Chesterton landscape beds?

River rock or natural fieldstone works beautifully in Chesterton landscapes where a low-maintenance look is the goal. Stone does not break down, so you avoid annual re-application costs. However, in sandy loam soil, a weed barrier fabric under the stone is important because fine soil particles can migrate upward through gaps over time, giving opportunistic weeds a foothold between the stones.

Answer

How do I keep bulk mulch from washing downhill in my Chesterton yard during heavy rain events?

Chesterton receives about 40 inches of rainfall per year, and heavy spring storms can shift loose mulch on any sloped surface. Choosing a shredded hardwood product rather than a chunky nugget style helps considerably, because the irregular pieces interlock and resist movement. On steeper grades, a light layer of erosion-control netting pinned over fresh mulch gives the material time to settle before the next significant downpour moves through.
