Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Red dyed mulch fades to pink within a few months in direct sun if not properly UV stabilized during manufacturing. Ask your supplier about colorfastness and dye quality if long-term appearance matters for your project.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rake existing mulch before adding a fresh layer on top. Breaking up matted mulch improves water penetration and air flow to roots beneath. Skip this step and water runs off instead of soaking through to where plants need it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Wait for spring soil to dry out before mulching your beds. Walking on and spreading material over waterlogged silty clay loam soil compacts it badly and damages the structure that roots need to grow properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Should I order extra material?

Definitely order a cushion—10% extra prevents that annoying mid-project shortage. Our delivery fee is based on mileage, not quantity.

Answer

How do I prepare before mulching?

Pull weeds, edge the beds, and rake out debris. In Naperville where prairie clay, adding a thin compost layer first gives plants a boost.

Answer

Can I mulch around trees?

Absolutely—but never pile mulch against the trunk. Spread it in a donut shape, 2–4 inches deep, away from bark.

Answer

Dyed vs natural mulch—which is better?

Personal preference mostly. Dyed mulch maintains color; natural mulch improves soil over time. With Naperville's humid continental, expect natural to break down faster.

Answer

Will mulch wash away on slopes?

Shredded hardwood interlocks better than chips on slopes. In Naperville, where you get 38 inches of rain, double-shredded handles runoff well.

Answer

Will mulch attract termites?

Not attracted, but termites may shelter in moist mulch. Keep several inches between mulch and foundations or wood elements.

Answer

Does mulch prevent weeds?

Suppression, not prevention. At 3-inch depth, mulch denies light to weed seeds. Some will still pop through—far fewer than bare soil.
