This review compares my experience with Mulch Mound compared to another local company that has delivered soil to me. The soil purchased from Mulch Mound was for two more of my large raised beds for flowers and vegetables-- I have 8 total beds. 1st- the ordering process was very easier with Mulch Mound and I was impressed with the follow-ups regarding my order and delivery. The soil calculator was easy to use but would not let me order 1.5 yards so I have too much left over soil. The wait time for delivery was very short and the actual delivery was excellent. The soil was deposited in the exact location requested. The biggest difference between the two companies was the quality of the soil. The Mulch Mound was not adequately ground up or pulverized. There a significant number of larger and smaller dirt clumbs that seemed to be clay and very difficult to break up. In fact, I have a 12 inch bolder of dirt that is solid. I never have had big dirt clods or a boulder with the other company. So, I am not sure if the Mulch Mound dirt is just landfill dirt or actual garden soil with compost like the other company, The other reviews were very positive about their soil quality so I may have just received a lower quality batch. I just hope this will be good for growing.

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!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Weed pressure in Steger gardens tends to intensify in late May and June as soil temperatures climb and light-hungry seeds find exposed ground. Laying a 3-inch layer of bulk hardwood mulch across all open bed surfaces before that window shuts down germination by blocking the sunlight weed seeds need to sprout. For beds with persistent perennial weeds, placing a single layer of cardboard directly on the soil before mulching adds a biodegradable barrier that suppresses regrowth through the season and breaks down naturally by fall.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Steger gardens benefit from a yearly addition of bulk compost worked into planting beds each spring. The region's sandy loam base tends to lose organic matter quickly, and compost replenishes nutrients while improving moisture retention through dry summer months. Spreading two to three inches of compost and tilling it six inches deep before planting gives Steger homeowners noticeably healthier perennials, shrubs, and annuals throughout the growing season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Decorative stone can transform high-traffic areas of a Steger landscape where organic mulch breaks down too quickly or gets scattered by foot traffic. River rock and crushed granite hold their position through wet springs and hot summers without needing annual replacement. Use a layer of landscape fabric underneath before setting stone, and choose a color that complements your home's exterior to give Steger yards a polished, low-maintenance appearance year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How often should I replenish bulk mulch in my Steger garden beds?

Most Steger homeowners replenish mulch once per year, typically in May. The area's 40 inches of annual rainfall and warm summers break down organic mulch at a moderate pace, leaving beds thin by the following spring. A fresh two-inch topdress each season maintains the recommended three-to-four-inch depth and keeps weed pressure manageable.

Answer

What is the best bulk material to use around a vegetable garden in Steger?

Straw mulch or finely shredded wood mulch works well around Steger vegetable gardens. Both materials retain soil moisture during summer dry periods and break down into organic matter that feeds sandy loam soil. Apply two inches around plants, keeping material away from stems to reduce disease risk through the humid growing season.

Answer

Can I use bulk river rock as a permanent ground cover in my Steger flower beds?

River rock can serve as a long-term ground cover in Steger, but it is best reserved for ornamental beds with shrubs or ornamental grasses rather than perennial flower beds. Stone retains heat in Zone 6a summers, which can stress moisture-sensitive plants. Pair it with drought-tolerant species for the most successful results.
