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 Monroe's type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorMeasure each bed separately, since Monroe yards often mix long narrow foundation strips with curved island beds around crepe myrtles. Multiply length by width for rectangles, and for curves take an average width and treat it as a rectangle. Add about 10 percent to your total, because settling is real once our rains compact the layer.
Most yards in the Monroe area sit on type of soil. Monroe's silt loam holds nutrients well but compacts easily and crusts over after our heavy downpours, which makes it hard for water and air to reach plant roots. Beds built on untreated silt loam often show puddling at the surface while the root zone underneath stays dense and airless.
Hardwood Mulch
Double ground hardwood mulch cushions the soil surface from rainfall impact and feeds organic matter into the silt loam as it decomposes, gradually improving structure and drainage. Over two or three seasons of annual top dressing, Monroe homeowners typically see looser, darker, more workable soil under the mulch layer.
Pair your mulch order with a few yards of garden mix to raise beds above Monroe's slow draining silt loam, and add steel or concrete edging to keep mulch from washing onto the sidewalk during heavy rain.
Service area
Do not lay plastic sheeting under mulch in Monroe. With 58 inches of annual rainfall, plastic traps water against silt loam and turns beds into shallow bathtubs that suffocate roots. If you want a weed barrier, use a breathable woven landscape fabric, or better yet skip fabric entirely and rely on a full 3 inch mulch layer. Fabric eventually collects sediment on top anyway, and weeds root right into it.
Time your mulching to beat the nutsedge. In Ouachita Parish, nutsedge starts pushing through beds once soil temperatures hit the mid 60s, typically mid to late March. Get your fresh 3 inch layer down before that happens and you will block a large share of it. Nutsedge will punch through mulch if it is already established, so hand pull the tubers first, then cover.
Rake and fluff before you reorder. Monroe rain compacts hardwood mulch into a matted crust that sheds water instead of absorbing it. Every few months, run a hard rake through your beds to break that crust and re expose fresh surfaces. You will often find you have more usable depth than you thought, which can cut your annual mulch order by a yard or two.
Monroe sits at just 72 feet of elevation on the Ouachita River floodplain, and the silt loam here holds water long after a summer thunderstorm has moved on. Mulch is what keeps that moisture balanced, shielding beds from the 58 inches of rain we get each year while slowing the surface crusting that silt loam is prone to once it dries. In zone 8b, our growing season stretches from roughly March 15 all the way to November 10, which means bare soil bakes under Delta sun for eight solid months. A 3 inch mulch layer drops root zone temperatures noticeably in July and August, when Monroe afternoons routinely push past 95 degrees. It also blocks the nutsedge and crabgrass that thrive in warm, damp Ouachita Parish beds. Done right, mulch is the cheapest insurance a Monroe landscape can carry.
