My experience with Mulch Mound was great and super easy. I ordered two yards of screened topsoil and was able to get it delivered within 2 days. They came in my requested time frame (afternoon) and dropped it off where I asked on my driveway. The topsoil was exactly what was advertised, clean with no rocks or other debris. The price was reasonable. I plan to use them again in a couple weeks to order compost for my garden beds.

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

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

On a Murphysboro slope, fine mulch simply washes downhill after the first hard rain. Switch to coarse shredded bark or double ground hardwood, which knits together and grips the grade far better than pine fines. On anything steeper than one in four, terrace with a low stone lip every few feet. Murphysboro gardeners who do this stop replacing mulch twice a season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Murphysboro slopes are also prone to erosion where turf never fills in. On a bank too steep to mow safely, strip the grass, lay jute netting, and plant creeping juniper, sumac, or aromatic aster through the mesh. Mulch lightly between plants with coarse bark. Within two seasons roots hold the hill and you stop the annual battle of mowing on a grade.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Retaining walls solve a lot of Murphysboro grade problems, and the backfill matters more than the block. Put six to twelve inches of clean three quarter inch drainage stone behind the wall face with a drain pipe at the base. That relief keeps hydrostatic pressure from pushing blocks out after the wet spring rains we get here, which total 46 inches a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How thick should mulch be on a Murphysboro hillside?

Stay at two to three inches, no deeper. Thick mulch on a grade forms a slab that sheds water instead of absorbing it, then slides off in one piece. Use coarse shredded bark or double ground hardwood so the fibers interlock, and refresh thin areas each spring rather than adding a whole new layer.

Answer

Can I use decorative stone instead of mulch on my slope?

Yes, and it stays put better than any organic mulch. Use angular two to three inch limestone or trap rock over woven fabric. Avoid rounded river rock on grades steeper than one in four, since it rolls. Keep in mind stone radiates heat, so pair it with tough plants rather than tender perennials.

Answer

Do you deliver to steep or narrow Murphysboro driveways?

Usually yes, though we may split a large order into two smaller loads for traction and turning room. Tell us about tight turns, low limbs, or a steep apron when you order. If the truck cannot reach the spot safely, we will place the pile at the flattest accessible point.

Get Started with Mulch mound Today

Murphysboro rides the hills above the Big Muddy River, giving yards here dramatic grade changes and erosion challenges you will not find on flatter ground. Terraced beds, retaining walls, and stone steps are common projects. Boulders, wall stone, and heavy mulch that stays put on a pitch are the go to materials. MulchMound hauls bulk loads into Murphysboro daily, including hillside deliveries that need a spotter.
