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 O'Fallon's type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorBreak irregular beds into rectangles and circles, measure each one, then add the square footage together instead of eyeballing the whole yard at once. Most O'Fallon homeowners underestimate curved island beds by 20 to 30 percent. One cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at three inches deep, so divide your total square footage by 100 to get a starting number.
Most yards in the O'Fallon area sit on type of soil. O'Fallon's silt loam holds nutrients well but compacts easily, and after a few hard spring rains a bare bed can seal over into a crust that sheds water instead of absorbing it. That crust starves plant roots of both moisture and oxygen right when they are trying to push new growth.
Hardwood Mulch
Shredded hardwood mulch is the best fix for silt loam because it absorbs raindrop impact before it reaches the soil and feeds earthworms and microbes as it decomposes. Those organisms build channels and crumb structure in the top few inches, which is exactly what compacted O'Fallon silt loam needs to drain better and breathe.
Pair your mulch with a few yards of compost or garden soil worked in first, since O'Fallon's silt loam benefits from organic matter below the surface as well as on top. Steel or poly edging keeps mulch out of the turf during heavy spring runoff.
Never build a mulch volcano around your trees. It is the single most common mistake we see in O'Fallon yards, and with our wet springs it holds moisture against the bark until the trunk rots or girdling roots form. Pull mulch back three to four inches from the trunk flare on every tree, and keep the ring flat like a doughnut. Extend it out to the drip line if you can, since that is where the feeder roots actually live.
Time your mulching around our rain, not the calendar. Spreading mulch onto bone dry silt loam during a hot O'Fallon July means the fresh layer wicks up the first light shower before it ever reaches the roots. Water the beds deeply the day before you spread, or better yet, mulch within a day or two after a soaking rain. The soil underneath stays charged and the mulch settles into place instead of blowing around.
Handle dyed mulch with a little care on your first day. Colored hardwood mulch is common in O'Fallon subdivisions because it holds its look through the season, but the dye needs about 24 dry hours to cure. If a thunderstorm rolls in right after you spread it, you can get color bleed onto concrete driveways and sidewalks. Check the forecast, spread on a clear morning, and rinse any stray splash off hardscape right away.
O'Fallon sits in Zone 6b with roughly 43 inches of rain a year, and much of that arrives in heavy spring downpours that pound bare silt loam into a sealed crust. Mulch is the buffer that absorbs that impact, keeps St. Charles County beds from washing toward the street, and holds moisture through the dry, humid stretch that usually settles in from mid July into September. It also moderates soil temperature during the wild swings this area gets, where a 70 degree February afternoon can be followed by a hard freeze a week later. Around O'Fallon's newer subdivisions, where topsoil was stripped and replaced during construction, a steady mulch layer is often the fastest way to rebuild organic matter. Add a growing season that runs roughly from the April 12 last frost to the October 20 first frost, and you have about six months where mulch is actively feeding, cooling, and protecting your beds.
