I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Choosing plants genuinely adapted to Wilmette conditions reduces maintenance demands and improves success rates dramatically compared to struggling exotics. Native and regionally appropriate species evolved over millennia to handle local rainfall patterns, temperature swings, and pest pressures without the constant intervention and coddling that poorly-suited exotic choices require.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Clean bed edging transforms the overall appearance of Wilmette landscapes more than almost any other single task. Steel or aluminum edging installed along lawn-to-bed transitions keeps aggressive turf grasses from migrating into mulched areas and gives plantings a crisp, polished definition. Re-check and re-set edging each spring, as Wilmette's freeze-thaw cycles can shift it over winter. Sharp borders also simplify mowing and reduce trimming time throughout the entire growing season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before Wilmette's first frost arrives around October 1, apply a 3 to 4 inch protective layer of shredded bark or straw over tender perennial crowns and any shrubs planted within the last two seasons. Zone 6a winters bring unpredictable freeze-thaw swings that heave shallow-rooted plants out of the ground, a process especially pronounced in Wilmette's silty clay. Remove the extra insulating material gradually in spring as overnight temperatures stabilize after the May 15 last frost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Does Wilmette's proximity to Lake Michigan affect what type of mulch I should use?

Somewhat. Lakeside properties in Wilmette can experience stronger winds that scatter lightweight materials, so shredded hardwood mulch, which knits together as it settles, holds up better than nugget bark or straw. It also decomposes into the silty clay soil over time, gradually improving structure and organic content in areas where lake breezes create drying pressure on planting beds.

Answer

Should I amend Wilmette's native soil before installing new garden beds, or just add topsoil on top?

Amending is more effective than simply topping. Wilmette's silty clay can form a barrier that prevents imported topsoil from integrating well if not loosened first. Till or fork existing soil 8 to 10 inches deep, then blend in 3 to 4 inches of compost before adding any topsoil. This creates a cohesive growing profile rather than distinct layers that roots struggle to move between.

Answer

How do I keep mulch from washing downhill on Wilmette's sloped lakeside lots?

For gentle slopes, shredded hardwood mulch applied at 3 inches naturally mats together and resists displacement better than chunky bark. On steeper grades, install low landscape timbers or metal edging as terracing to anchor material in place. Avoid applying mulch right before heavy rain is forecast, letting it settle for a few dry days helps it bind before the first significant rainfall hits.
