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

Proper mowing height varies by grass species in Homewood lawns, making identification important for optimal care. Cool-season grasses generally perform best at three inches or higher during summer, while warm-season types tolerate closer cutting without stress. Matching mowing height to your specific grass species optimizes both appearance and plant health.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Clean bed edging delivers an immediate visual upgrade in Homewood yards while creating a physical barrier that slows grass encroachment into planted areas. A crisp 3 to 4 inch spade-cut edge between lawn and mulched beds reduces ongoing maintenance and gives your landscape a polished, professional look from the street. Re-cut edges every four to six weeks during the growing season to keep that definition sharp all summer long.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before Homewood's first frost arrives around October 1st, adding an extra inch of mulch over perennial root zones provides critical insulation against the freeze-thaw cycles that stress plants in our silty clay soil. Keep mulch a few inches away from plant crowns to prevent rot, and target a total depth of 3 to 4 inches heading into winter for reliable cold-season root protection through zone 6a's unpredictable temperature swings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

My Homewood yard has low spots that stay soggy after heavy rain, will adding topsoil help?

Soggy low spots in Homewood are common given the region's silty clay soil, which drains slowly. Adding screened topsoil to raise and level those areas helps, but pairing it with compost amendment improves drainage structure long-term. For severe pooling, a French drain may be necessary before any topsoil application is effective.

Answer

What type of mulch works best in Homewood's climate for flower beds?

Shredded hardwood mulch is the go-to choice for Homewood flower beds. It breaks down gradually, feeding soil biology while suppressing weeds effectively. Apply 2 to 3 inches in spring after the May 15 frost date. Avoid dyed mulches near edible plants, and choose natural brown or black hardwood for a clean, classic look that complements most home exteriors.

Answer

Is compost worth adding to established Homewood garden beds, or only when starting new ones?

Compost benefits established beds just as much as new ones. In Homewood's silty clay soil, an annual half-inch top-dressing of bulk compost improves drainage, adds nutrients, and feeds earthworm populations that naturally aerate the soil. Apply in fall so it breaks down over winter and is fully integrated by planting time in spring.
