For Highland's clay loam soil, two to three inches of mulch is the recommended depth since the native soil already retains significant moisture on its own. Going deeper risks creating a soggy root environment after heavy spring rainfall events.

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 Highland's Clay Loam type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorMeasure each bed's length and width in feet, then multiply those together to get square footage. Highland's clay loam means you rarely need more than three inches of depth, so divide your total square footage by 108 to estimate cubic yards at a three-inch depth. Order a little extra if your beds have irregular edges or slopes that tend to wash during spring storms.
Most yards in the Highland area sit on Clay Loam type of soil. Highland's clay loam soil tends to become compacted and poorly aerated over time, making it hard for shallow-rooted plants to establish and thrive in new garden beds.
Hardwood Mulch
Hardwood mulch gradually breaks down into fine organic matter that, season after season, improves the texture and drainage of Highland's dense clay loam, making it progressively easier for roots to penetrate and for water to move through the bed.
Mulch Mound makes bulk mulch delivery in Highland easy, bringing fresh cubic yards straight to your driveway or jobsite. The area's clay soils and warm, humid summers benefit from a thick layer of mulch that locks in moisture and keeps roots insulated through seasonal swings. Whether you are refreshing a front yard bed or covering a larger property, we deliver by the cubic yard so you get exactly what you need.

A top choice for homeowners wanting sharp contrast against green plantings and brick exteriors. Available in double shredded or triple shredded, the bold color holds through sun and rain while the fine texture spreads evenly and smoothly across garden beds of any size.

Pair your mulch order with a quality topsoil if you are building new beds on Highland's dense clay loam, and consider decorative stone for the foundation border closest to your home to keep moisture away from the structure. Both products are available for delivery alongside your mulch order.
Highland's clay loam compacts easily under foot traffic, so before spreading mulch in high-traffic areas near garden paths, loosen the top inch of soil with a hand rake. This helps the mulch layer bond with the soil surface instead of sitting on a hard crust, which means it stays in place better after the heavy spring rains that are common in northwest Indiana.
If you are refreshing mulch in established beds, do a quick check for matted layers from last season before adding new material. Old mulch can form a crust in Highland's humid summers that sheds water like a thatched roof, sending rainfall sideways into your lawn instead of down to plant roots. Break up any compacted spots with a garden fork before topping up.
With 39 inches of annual rainfall, Highland landscapes deal with significant moisture swings between wet springs and dry July stretches. Applying mulch in late April locks in soil moisture heading into summer, but leave a small gap around each plant stem to prevent rot during wet spells. That small breathing room makes a big difference in a climate where soils can stay saturated for days at a time.
Highland's clay loam soil is notoriously slow to drain after heavy spring rains, and that wet, heavy combination means plant roots can stay waterlogged well into the growing season. A proper mulch layer acts as a buffer, helping regulate how quickly moisture moves into already-dense soil. With 39 inches of annual rainfall spread across unpredictable spring storms, bare beds in Highland are prone to soil splash, erosion, and weed explosions. Mulch also moderates ground temperature swings, which matter in Zone 6a where late frosts can arrive as late as April 15 and soil can refreeze after warm spells. Highland's hot, humid summers accelerate evaporation from unprotected beds, meaning unmulched plants often show heat stress by July. Getting the right mulch in place before the last frost date keeps your landscape healthier from spring startup through the first hard freeze around October 28.
