Mulch Mound delivered a yard of pea gravel to us. Delivery was on time, driver was friendly and hit a bullseye on the “tarp target”. We used the pea gravel (which was diameter as specified) to fill several muskrat holes around our pond. I would definitely recommend Mulch Mound to a friend!

UPDATE!
I can’t say enough good things about Mulch Mound! If you read my review below you will see I had a problem with my order. Mulch Mound was quick to respond and solved the issue with my delivery. Will definitely be a customer next year.
First time purchase from Mulch Mound!! First what I liked! Easy to order online and straight forward pricing and delivery. The driver was on time and courteous and delivered my Mulch exactly where I requested! The product is of good quality and comparable to others I have purchased from before. Now what I DID’NT LIKE! I have been mulching the same house and yard for almost 20 years. I always order the same amount and don’t have any issues with covering the same area but this year I fell about a yard short. I was home when the mulch was delivered and when the driver dumped it I noticed that it seemed a bit less than I was used to. I didn’t apply it any thicker than usual and probably a bit thinner than usual because I was worried about running out.
For Chicago's Silty Clay type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorMost Chicago beds do well with 2–3 inches of mulch coverage. Use the Trace from Satellite tool to outline your areas and estimate material needs. Fresh beds can go lighter; established plantings handle the full depth.
Most yards in the Chicago area sit on Silty Clay type of soil. Expect tighter soil after rain, slower drainage in low spots, and a pH that can lean alkaline.

Make the most of your project time in Chicago. Soil under your mulch improves growing conditions on clay ground. Stone finishes paths and keeps edges crisp.
The best time to apply mulch in Chicago is mid to late spring after soil warms. The ground has thawed completely, spring rains have mostly passed, and plants are actively growing and ready to benefit.
If mulch smells sour or like vinegar when delivered, it has gone anaerobic during storage. Spread it thin in a single layer and let it air out for a day or two before using. Sour mulch burns plants.
Pine straw mulch drains exceptionally well and rarely compacts even in heavy traffic areas. It is a great choice for Chicago yards with drainage issues, slopes, or heavy clay soil that stays wet.
Mulch keeps beds tidy while doing real work for your plants. Chicago freeze–thaw and spring rain can beat up beds if materials aren’t refreshed.

Most beds do well with 2–3 inches; don’t pile it against plants. Go natural for a simple finish, or pick a dyed color to match your home and beds. Delivery lets you finish the project in one go—no hauling, no repeat trips.
