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!

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.

Mattoon lawns often sit on compacted silt loam that sheds water instead of drinking it. Core aerate in early September, then topdress with a quarter inch of screened compost and rake it into the holes. With roughly 41 inches of rain a year, that spongier profile soaks up storms rather than sending runoff toward the street, and cool season grass roots dive deeper before the October 15 frost.

Try Our CalculatorMulch depth matters more than mulch brand. Around Mattoon foundation beds, keep hardwood mulch at two to three inches and pull it back a couple inches from trunks and siding. Any deeper on silt loam and the surface stays soggy after our 41 inches of annual rain, which invites root rot and gives voles a winter tunnel. Refresh in late April once soil has warmed past the April 20 frost date.

Grading is the cheapest drainage fix in Mattoon. Before you order topsoil, walk the yard during a downpour and mark where water stalls. Build a gentle slope away from the house, about one inch of drop per foot for the first six feet, using screened topsoil rather than fill dirt. Silt loam holds its shape well once compacted in thin lifts and seeded promptly.
Mattoon sits about 25 minutes northwest of Effingham along I-57, where deep silt loam and a long railroad history shaped neighborhoods full of mature maples and wide corner lots. Homeowners near Peterson Park and the older streets around Lake Land College order hardwood mulch, screened topsoil, and decorative rock by the cubic yard rather than hauling dozens of bags. Bulk delivery drops the whole project in one pile, ready to spread before the next rain rolls through Coles County.
