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!

Hardwood Mulch
Hardwood mulch cushions rain, prevents sealing, and improves tilth slowly as it breaks down.
Ordering bulk mulch delivery in Portland is easy when you buy by the cubic yard rather than hauling bags from a store. The mild, rainy winters and cool summers here mean beds benefit from a fresh layer each season to hold moisture and moderate the soil temperature. We deliver a curated selection of varieties by the yard so you can cover more ground for less.
Bold and high-contrast, this double shredded mulch makes plant foliage and flower colors pop in beds and borders. The rich black tone holds up through the long, rainy season typical of this corner of Oregon, and the fine texture spreads easily over clay-heavy soils.
A warm brown double shredded mulch that blends naturally with the wood tones found on craftsman and farmhouse style homes common throughout this region. The color stays vibrant for weeks after delivery, giving established beds and borders a neat, maintained appearance without the effort of frequent refreshing.
A Pacific Northwest favorite, hemlock is a double shredded natural hardwood mulch in a warm brown tone. Available in medium and fine textures, it suits everything from tree rings to perennial borders. The fine style works well around shallow rooted plants common in Oregon's mild growing climate.
Undyed and straight from the wood, this double shredded mulch brings an earthy, honest look to yards where a natural aesthetic matters. It pairs especially well with native plantings and rain gardens, both of which are popular choices for working with the wet, mild climate of this part of Oregon.
Round out your Portland project with soil for planting prep and stone for borders and pathways. Each material plays a different role and they work best as a set.
Lay landscaping fabric under mulch only in paths and walkways, never in planting beds. Fabric blocks root expansion, traps moisture unevenly, and creates more problems than it solves around growing plants.
Blow or rake leaves off mulch beds in fall before they mat down. A thick leaf layer on top of mulch traps moisture and blocks airflow, creating conditions for mold and fungal problems through winter.
Mulch breaks down faster in wet climates than dry ones due to increased microbial activity. With 43 inches of annual rainfall, Portland beds typically need more frequent refreshing than gardens in arid regions.
A good mulch layer does more than look sharp. Portland coastal weather swings can wear on beds and walkways without the right materials. In Portland, Oregon, consistent coverage suppresses weeds, steadies soil moisture, and insulates roots from temperature swings. Most beds need 2-3 inches. Natural hardwood works well for most applications; dyed options add strong visual contrast. Delivery saves time so you can focus on the actual work.
