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 Lakeland's Sandy type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorMeasure the length and width of each bed in feet, multiply to get square footage, then divide by 100 to estimate the cubic yards needed for a 3-inch depth, which is the recommended minimum for Lakeland's fast-draining sandy soil. Because sandy soil loses moisture so quickly in Lakeland's heat, erring on the side of a slightly deeper application can meaningfully reduce how often you need to run irrigation during the dry season.
Most yards in the Lakeland area sit on Sandy type of soil. Lakeland's sandy soil holds almost no organic matter on its own, which means plant beds can struggle to retain the nutrients and moisture that roots need during the dry stretches that fall between rain events.
Hardwood Mulch
Hardwood mulch breaks down gradually in Lakeland's warm climate and deposits humus into the sandy soil layer beneath, slowly improving water retention and nutrient-holding capacity in a way that no synthetic or dyed mulch product can replicate over time.
When you need bulk mulch delivery in Lakeland, Mulch Mound brings fresh loads by the cubic yard straight to your property. The warm climate and sandy soil here make quality mulch essential for holding moisture and keeping weeds down through the long growing season. Every variety ships in full cubic-yard increments so you get the right amount without any bag markup.
Bold black double shredded mulch that makes landscape beds stand out right away. The rich color holds through intense sun and afternoon rains, making it a favorite for homeowners who want high contrast against Florida's lush green plantings. Spreads effortlessly and keeps its look for weeks.
Warm brown double shredded mulch that gives beds a natural, polished appearance right away. The lasting color suits the earthy tones common in Central Florida landscaping, and the smooth texture makes it easy to spread around palms, shrubs, and garden borders.
Double shredded mulch in a vibrant red color that holds throughout the season. The bold tone works especially well against light sandy soil and the bright Florida sun common across the region. A strong accent for front yard beds, palms, and foundation plantings where color and curb appeal matter.
Undyed double shredded mulch with a warm, earthy tone straight from the wood itself. No added color means it blends naturally with Florida native plant beds and shaded areas where a softer look is preferred. A clean option for homeowners who want solid mulch performance without a pronounced color statement.
Pairing mulch with a quality garden soil amendment helps counteract Lakeland's nutrient-poor sandy base, and adding stone edging or gravel borders keeps mulch neatly contained through the area's heavy summer rains.
Lakeland's sandy soil tends to become hydrophobic, meaning it actually repels water after drying out completely. Applying mulch before a dry spell, rather than after the soil has already baked dry, helps maintain just enough surface moisture to keep water absorption functioning normally. Check your beds at the start of the dry season each November to make sure your mulch layer is still thick enough to protect the soil through the months ahead.
Zone 9b means Lakeland rarely sees a true dormant period for weeds. Weed seeds can germinate in your beds almost any month of the year, which makes mulch one of your most cost-effective tools for weed control. A consistent 3 to 4 inch layer blocks sunlight from reaching the soil surface where weed seeds wait to sprout, dramatically cutting the time you spend pulling weeds from established beds throughout the year.
With 53 inches of rain falling on Lakeland each year, mulch does more than just retain moisture between storms. It also prevents heavy summer downpours from compacting and splashing your sandy topsoil, which can expose plant roots and degrade bed structure over time. Keeping a fresh, even mulch layer acts as a natural buffer that absorbs the energy of falling rain and keeps your soil surface intact through even the most active parts of the rainy season.
Lakeland's sandy soil drains so quickly that plant beds can dry out within a day or two of rainfall, even with the region's generous 53 inches of rain per year. A thick layer of mulch acts as a buffer between that fast-draining ground and your plant roots, slowing evaporation during the long, hot summers that zone 9b delivers. Without mulch, soil temperatures in Lakeland's sun-baked beds can spike high enough to stress root systems and encourage weed germination from the abundant seed bank in local soils. Decomposing organic mulch also adds the organic matter that Lakeland's naturally nutrient-poor sandy soil desperately needs over time. Keeping beds mulched year-round is one of the most practical habits a Lakeland homeowner can adopt to reduce irrigation costs and maintain healthy plants through both the wet season and the dry months that follow.
