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.

I had a great experience ordering from Mulch Mound- they offered a quick turnaround and they delivered a generous/heaping 4 cubic yards. Driver was kind and professional, couldn’t have asked for an easier or better experience.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Dividing perennials at the right time in Pleasant Hill gardens maximizes success and minimizes plant stress during the recovery process. Spring bloomers divide best in fall after flowering finishes completely. Fall bloomers divide best in spring as new growth just begins emerging. Dividing at wrong times sacrifices flowers and stresses plants.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Pleasant Hill, applying mulch at the correct depth, 2 to 3 inches for shredded hardwood, suppresses weeds without suffocating plant roots. Pleasant Hill's silty clay loam holds moisture well on its own, so excess mulch depth traps too much water against crowns and stems. Pull material back an inch or two from plant bases to prevent rot and fungal issues that become more common during Iowa's humid summer months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Pleasant Hill's silty clay loam compacts easily and creates drainage challenges in low-lying yard areas. When building new landscape beds, grade the site away from your foundation and incorporate aged compost to loosen soil structure before planting. Raised bed edges defined with decorative stone or timber borders also help redirect excess runoff during Iowa's heavy spring rain events, protecting both your plants and your home's foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What soil amendments work best in Pleasant Hill before laying bulk mulch?

Pleasant Hill's native silty clay loam is fertile but tends to compact. Before mulching, loosen the top 3 to 4 inches and blend in aged bulk compost at roughly a 2-inch layer. This improves drainage and aeration, giving plant roots a more hospitable zone between the mulch above and the denser native soil below.

Answer

How much bulk mulch do I need for a typical Pleasant Hill landscape bed?

Multiply bed length by width by desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. A 200 sq ft bed at 3 inches deep needs about 1.85 cubic yards. Most Pleasant Hill homeowners round up to account for settling, especially with shredded hardwood mulch that compresses over Iowa's wet spring season.

Answer

Is decorative stone a good low-maintenance option for Pleasant Hill landscape beds?

River rock and crushed limestone work well in Pleasant Hill beds around drought-tolerant shrubs. Stone won't break down like organic mulch, reducing replenishment costs. Lay a quality weed barrier underneath and use heavier stone, at least 1.5 inches, since Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles can shift lighter material out of place over winter.
