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

Delivery was seamless, and the truck driver took care to deposit the mulch on the tarp I had laid out. The mulch itself is much better quality than my previous experiences with bagged mulch.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Kensington gardeners working with terraced hillside beds should select ground cover plants with deep fibrous roots and then top-dress each terrace with bulk decomposed granite from MulchMound.com to create a permeable, stable surface between plantings. Decomposed granite allows rainwater to percolate slowly into the soil rather than sheeting off slopes and causing erosion on the terraces below. Mixing a small amount of native soil into the decomposed granite before application helps it bind together and resist displacement during the area's heaviest winter storms.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Kensington homeowners with mature oak trees should take care to mulch the entire area beneath the oak canopy with bulk wood chips from MulchMound.com rather than planting thirsty summer-irrigated plants under the drip line. California native oaks are highly susceptible to root rot caused by summer watering, and a thick four inch layer of wood chip mulch mimics the natural leaf litter conditions oaks thrive in while suppressing weeds without adding any irrigation. This approach keeps your oaks healthy and dramatically reduces maintenance in those shaded zones.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Kensington residents interested in reducing their overall landscape water use should consider planting a dry creek bed as both a functional drainage feature and a low-water focal point. Using bulk decomposed granite from MulchMound.com as the base material for the creek bed channel creates a natural-looking surface that directs winter runoff away from foundations and planted hillside terraces. Bordering the dry creek with drought-tolerant natives mulched with shredded bark ties the drainage feature into your overall landscape design while keeping maintenance needs minimal through the dry season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much decomposed granite do I need to cover a typical Kensington hillside pathway?

For a standard residential pathway in Kensington, plan on applying decomposed granite at a depth of three to four inches over a compacted aggregate base. A pathway that is three feet wide and 30 feet long requires roughly one cubic yard of decomposed granite for a three inch application. Use MulchMound.com's volume calculator to confirm your quantities, and consider ordering a small surplus to account for settling over the first season.

Answer

What are the best mulch options for steep terraced beds in Kensington?

Shredded bark mulch is the best choice for steep terraced beds in Kensington because the fibrous texture of shredded material causes it to interlock and stay in place far better than round wood chips on sloped surfaces. Apply it at a three to four inch depth and press it lightly into contact with the soil. On very steep terraces, a light spray of water after application helps the shredded bark settle and compact slightly before winter rains arrive.

Answer

Can bulk compost help with drainage problems on my Kensington terraced yard?

Yes, bulk compost is one of the most effective tools for improving drainage on Kensington's clay loam terraced hillside yards. Incorporating three to four inches of finished compost into the top layer of each terrace bed breaks up clay compaction, opens up pore spaces, and allows water to infiltrate rather than pool or run off. Annual compost applications gradually improve the entire soil profile on terraced slopes over several seasons.
