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

Summer maintenance in Summit should focus on essentials rather than ambitious projects: watering appropriately, deadheading to prolong bloom, and monitoring for developing problems. Major planting, transplanting, and renovation projects go much easier in cooler weather when both plants and gardeners handle physical work better.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Consistent weed management in Summit landscapes prevents exponential labor buildup through the season. Apply a pre-emergent treatment in early April, then immediately top-dress beds with 3 inches of bulk hardwood mulch to block light from reaching weed seeds. Summit's generous 40-inch annual rainfall can break down pre-emergents faster than in drier climates, so a light mulch refresh in midsummer helps maintain suppression all the way through fall.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Summit's urban landscape context is well-suited to Illinois native plants like prairie dropseed, wild bergamot, and purple coneflower. These species are fully adapted to Zone 6a conditions,they survive October frosts without protection and tolerate silty clay once established after their first season. Incorporating natives reduces supplemental watering needs significantly after establishment, a real advantage during Summit's characteristically dry midsummer stretches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How does Summit's silty clay soil affect which bulk landscape materials I should order?

Summit's silty clay drains slowly and compacts under foot traffic, so avoid applying heavy stone directly on bare soil without a separator layer of landscape fabric. Use bulk compost as a soil amendment to improve structure, and choose finely shredded mulch that integrates into the soil over time rather than large bark nuggets that can shed water and resist decomposition in dense clay.

Answer

What's the most cost-effective way to order bulk landscape materials for a typical Summit residential property?

For projects exceeding 3 cubic yards, bulk delivery is far more economical than purchasing bagged mulch or topsoil at a hardware store. A typical Summit yard with front and rear planting beds usually needs 5 to 8 cubic yards of mulch in a single delivery from MulchMound,saving both money and multiple weekend trips compared to buying bags individually throughout the spring season.

Answer

How should I mulch around trees in Summit to actually improve their long-term health?

Create a 3 to 4 foot wide mulch ring around Summit trees using shredded hardwood mulch at 3 inches deep, keeping it 2 to 3 inches away from the trunk itself to prevent rot and bark damage. This protects roots from compaction, retains soil moisture during dry summers, and feeds the tree gradually as the mulch decomposes,all especially beneficial in Summit's dense, slow-draining silty clay soils.
