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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

Do I need to be home?

Nope. Enter drop-off details, choose your delivery window, note any access info. Most customers aren't home.

Answer

How much soil do I need?

At 3-inch depth, one cubic yard handles about 100 sq ft. Raised beds need much more—12 inches minimum for vegetables.

Answer

How do I fix clay soil?

Work in compost and gypsum, never sand. Three to four inches of organic matter tilled in makes a difference over time.

Answer

What soil is best for raised beds?

Get a raised bed blend with topsoil, compost, and perlite or similar. Des Moines's native silty clay loam doesn't perform as well in frames.

Answer

Do I need special soil for vegetables?

Use garden mix with compost for vegetables. They need richer, looser soil than ornamentals. Works well in Des Moines's conditions.

Answer

How do I improve drainage in heavy soil?

Work in lots of organic material: compost, aged manure, amendments. Des Moines's prairie clay takes time to fix. Consider raised beds.

Answer

How do I fix sandy soil?

Organic matter is the fix—compost, aged manure, amendments. Sandy ground needs help holding water and nutrients. Add yearly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fill dirt and topsoil are completely different products for different purposes. Fill is infertile subsoil for grading and structural support. Topsoil is the fertile surface layer for growing plants.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Grade topsoil away from foundations at a minimum slope of 1 inch per foot of distance. Proper drainage prevents water from pooling against structures and causing expensive moisture damage over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Slope topsoil toward drainage areas at minimum 2 percent grade for proper water movement. Use a level and tape measure to verify slope before planting, sodding, or seeding the area.

The Unique Landscape of Des Moines

Fresh soil is a simple reset for Des Moines, Iowa beds when they feel tired, thin, or uneven. Around Des Moines, Seasonal swings can compact areas and expose roots, especially along edges and slopes. Helpful for vegetable beds, new borders, and rebuilding spots that eroded or settled. On slopes, shape a gentle contour so water moves through without cutting channels. With delivery, you can focus on grading and planting instead of hauling bags.
