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. Photo of my mountain of dirt and just some of the trash I found in it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Creating planting beds where lawn struggles in Gilberts yards often proves far more practical than fighting endlessly to maintain turf in genuinely difficult conditions. Shady areas under trees, slopes that erode and dry quickly, and root-filled zones frequently support ornamental plantings beautifully while lawn grass merely survives or fails.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Winter preparation in Gilberts should include mulching perennial beds before the October 1 first frost. A 3 to 4 inch layer of shredded hardwood mulch applied in late September insulates root systems through Zone 5b's coldest months without trapping harmful moisture. Leave ornamental grasses and native seedheads standing through winter, they provide wildlife habitat and catch drifting snow that acts as additional natural insulation across Gilberts garden beds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Decorative stone borders and stepping stone pathways are a smart investment in Gilberts, where open yard areas can become muddy during wet springs. Stepping stone paths across high-traffic lawn areas reduce soil compaction and give residents a clean route through the yard even after heavy rainfall. River rock or crushed granite borders around planting beds also slow erosion on Gilberts properties with any slope, protecting silt loam from surface washing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

How much bulk topsoil do I need to fill low spots in my Gilberts yard?

For low spots collecting standing water, a 2 to 4 inch topsoil fill is typically sufficient in Gilberts. Grade gently toward a drainage outlet or lawn to encourage water movement. Use screened topsoil blended with compost to avoid compaction after settling. Avoid filling directly against existing plant crowns, raise the surrounding grade gradually to protect established roots.

Answer

Is ordering bulk mulch worth it for a smaller Gilberts property?

Bulk mulch becomes cost-effective at roughly 3 or more cubic yards, equivalent to about 15 bags. Even on smaller Gilberts properties, mulching all planting beds, tree rings, and foundation plantings often exceeds that threshold easily. The per-yard cost of bulk delivery is significantly lower than bagged product, and freshly ground mulch has better texture and appearance.

Answer

What native plants thrive in Gilberts' silt loam soil?

Gilberts' silt loam is excellent for Illinois prairie natives. Wild bergamot, rattlesnake master, prairie dropseed, and ironweed all establish readily without irrigation once their root systems develop. Plant in fall or after the May 15 last frost, and mulch with 2 inches of shredded hardwood the first season to reduce weed competition while roots get established.
