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.

Stone Types We Deliver in Aurora

Mulch Mound delivers bulk stone by the cubic yard to homes and job sites across this part of northeastern Illinois. Whether you are searching for bulk gravel by the yard in Aurora or need a reliable local supplier, we stock the most useful grades for any landscape project. Materials arrive loose so you order exactly the quantity your project requires.

Pea Gravel

Pea gravel is one of the most requested stones we deliver, and its smooth, rounded profile works well for garden paths, patios, and drainage beds. It moves freely through the heavy clay soils common in this region and suits the traditional landscaping styles found on many local residential lots.

3/4" River Stone

This 3/4 inch river rock offers enough visual weight to read well in planting beds without feeling bulky underfoot. Its smooth, rounded surface suits dry creek beds and landscape borders, and holds up well through the freeze and thaw cycles typical of Illinois winters.

#8 Limestone

Number 8 limestone compacts firmly into a stable surface, making it a solid choice for grading, utility fills, and foundation leveling. Its fine 3/8 to 1/2 inch sizing sets tightly without gaps and performs well in the variable soil conditions found across this part of Illinois.

1-2" River Stone

The 1 to 2 inch river stone makes a bold statement in feature beds and dry creek designs. Its larger size resists displacement during the heavy spring rains common in this part of Illinois, and the smooth, rounded finish gives any planting area a clean, finished appearance.

Complete Your Outdoor Stone Project

Stone sets the frame for Aurora yards. Mulch fills the beds with weed protection and moisture retention on silty clay loam ground. Soil improves planting.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Never install pavers or flagstone directly on bare soil without proper base preparation. Without compacted gravel and leveling sand, pavers shift, sink, and crack within the first year.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Pressure wash river rock and decorative stone every few years to restore original colors. Dirt, algae, and mineral deposits dull the surface appearance, especially in shaded Aurora areas with moisture.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Use 57 stone for French drains, dry wells, and drainage trenches in Aurora yards. The 1 inch nominal size allows excellent water flow while filtering sediment that would clog smaller gravel.

The Unique Landscape of Aurora

Stone is a low‑maintenance finish that stays crisp season after season. Aurora freeze–thaw and spring rain can beat up beds if materials aren’t refreshed. In Aurora, Illinois, stone helps control mud, define spaces, and keep your landscape looking sharp. It defines beds and builds paths that stay neat after storms. Use edging and, where appropriate, fabric to reduce mixing and weeds. From pea gravel to river rock, size and shape change how it drains and how it stays put. Delivery lets you finish the project in one go—no hauling, no repeat trips.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

What stone is best for pathways?

Smaller material like pea gravel or crushed stone compacts well for walking. Big round stones move too much.

Answer

What stone is best for drainage?

Angular crushed rock about 1–2 inches. It locks together but has void space for water movement. Important for Aurora's drainage needs.

Answer

Should I order extra?

Order 10% over your calculation. Stone settles and spreads. One delivery trip costs less than two based on mileage.

Answer

Can stone damage my foundation?

The stone is fine; it's water direction that matters. Grade away from buildings and keep stone a few inches from foundations.

Answer

Can I choose my delivery date?

Absolutely. Cart shows available dates once items are added and address entered. Choose your preferred day and time window.

Answer

Is stone or mulch better for slopes?

Crushed angular stone stays put best on slopes. Shredded mulch works too. Round rock and wood chips slide down.

Answer

Do I need landscape fabric under stone?

Yes, always. It prevents sinking (especially in Aurora's silty clay loam) and blocks weeds. Commercial-grade fabric lasts; cheap versions don't.
