This review compares my experience with Mulch Mound compared to another local company that has delivered soil to me. The soil purchased from Mulch Mound was for two more of my large raised beds for flowers and vegetables-- I have 8 total beds. 1st- the ordering process was very easier with Mulch Mound and I was impressed with the follow-ups regarding my order and delivery. The soil calculator was easy to use but would not let me order 1.5 yards so I have too much left over soil. The wait time for delivery was very short and the actual delivery was excellent. The soil was deposited in the exact location requested. The biggest difference between the two companies was the quality of the soil. The Mulch Mound was not adequately ground up or pulverized. There a significant number of larger and smaller dirt clumbs that seemed to be clay and very difficult to break up. In fact, I have a 12 inch bolder of dirt that is solid. I never have had big dirt clods or a boulder with the other company. So, I am not sure if the Mulch Mound dirt is just landfill dirt or actual garden soil with compost like the other company, The other reviews were very positive about their soil quality so I may have just received a lower quality batch. I just hope this will be good for growing.

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

Ellsworth receives significant spring rainfall, and properties with sloped terrain or low-lying areas can accumulate runoff that stresses plant roots and erodes bare soil. Before adding topsoil or mulch to problem spots, work coarse compost into the existing ground to improve permeability, and grade beds slightly away from foundations and structures. Layering crushed stone beneath raised planting areas also helps direct water movement. Taking the time to address drainage before planting season protects your investment in materials and plants for years ahead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Ellsworth, where Zone 5a winters can push temperatures well below zero, applying a 3 to 4 inch layer of mulch around perennials and shrub root zones before the first October frost makes a measurable difference. This insulating layer moderates soil temperature swings, reduces frost heaving, and helps plants enter spring with healthier root systems. Pull mulch back slightly from stems to prevent rot during freeze-thaw cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Ellsworth's native silt loam holds moisture well but can compact over time, especially in high-traffic planting beds. Blending bulk compost into your soil each spring loosens structure and adds slow-release nutrients. A 2 inch top dressing worked into the top 6 inches before planting season gives vegetable gardens and perennial borders the organic matter boost they need to perform well through Ellsworth's relatively short growing window.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What type of mulch works best given Ellsworth's wet spring weather?

In Ellsworth, shredded bark or wood chip mulch is the best choice because it allows water to pass through freely while still suppressing weeds. Avoid fine-textured mulches that can mat together and repel rainfall. Apply a 2 to 3 inch layer after the soil warms in mid-May for the strongest results through the season.

Answer

How much topsoil should I order to build up a new planting bed in Ellsworth?

For most Ellsworth beds, adding 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil blended into the existing silt loam gives roots a loose, nutrient-rich environment. A 200 square foot bed at that depth requires roughly 3 to 4 cubic yards. Ordering bulk delivery is far more economical than bags for any project that size.

Answer

Is decorative stone a good low-maintenance option for foundation plantings in Ellsworth?

Stone mulch works well around Ellsworth foundations when installed correctly. Lay permeable landscape fabric first, then apply 2 to 3 inches of crushed stone or river rock. Stone retains heat, which is a benefit in Zone 5a, but keep it a few inches away from plant stems and foundation walls to prevent moisture buildup and excessive heat stress.
