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 West Jordan's type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorSketch your beds and break odd shapes into rectangles and circles, then measure each one in feet rather than pacing it off, since curved West Jordan park strips are usually wider than they look. Multiply length by width, total the square footage, and let the calculator convert that to cubic yards at your chosen depth. Order about ten percent extra so you are not making a second trip for the last few square feet.
Most yards in the West Jordan area sit on type of soil. West Jordan's alkaline clay holds nutrients tightly and locks up iron, which is why so many local maples, roses, and lawns show yellow leaves with green veins by July. That same clay compacts hard, leaving new plantings sitting in dense soil that drains slowly in spring and sets up like concrete in August.
Hardwood Mulch
Shredded hardwood mulch is the best fit for West Jordan clay because it decomposes steadily from the bottom, feeding organic matter and mild organic acids into that alkaline top few inches where feeder roots live. Over two or three seasons that organic matter opens up clay structure, improves water infiltration, and boosts earthworm activity that keeps the soil loosening on its own.
Pair your mulch with a few yards of compost enriched topsoil to work into the clay before spreading, and add steel or poly edging to keep bark out of the lawn. Decorative cobble at downspout outfalls handles the runoff spots where mulch always washes away.
Before the mulch goes down, run your drip lines and check emitters. Once 3 inches of bark covers a bed, finding a cracked quarter inch line means digging through the whole thing. West Jordan drip tubing takes a beating from UV at 4,330 feet and from winter freeze damage, so replace brittle sections in April. Flush the lines, verify each emitter drips, then mulch over the top and enjoy a clean bed all season.
Keep mulch off the trunk. Volcano mulching kills more valley trees than drought does, because piled bark holds moisture against the bark and invites rot and voles, and West Jordan voles are relentless in winter. Pull mulch back three to four inches from trunks and shrub crowns so you can see the root flare. Spread the mulch wide instead of deep, ideally out to the drip line where the feeder roots live.
Refresh, do not rebuild. Every spring, rake and fluff the existing mulch layer before adding new material. Clay soils here crust the underside of old bark into a water shedding mat, and breaking that up lets irrigation reach the roots again. Then add only enough new mulch to return the bed to 3 inches, usually one yard for every 300 or so square feet. This saves money and prevents the buildup that smothers perennials.
West Jordan sits at 4,330 feet on the old Jordan River bench, where roughly 17 inches of annual precipitation has to stretch across a long, blazing Salt Lake Valley summer. Bare alkaline clay here bakes into a crust by mid July, and that crust sheds sprinkler water sideways instead of letting it soak into the root zone. A 3 inch mulch layer breaks the impact of overhead irrigation, keeps soil temperatures under the 90 degree threshold where root hairs stall, and slows evaporation dramatically during the July and August stretch when the valley can go three weeks without measurable rain. Mulch also buffers the freeze and thaw cycles that hit West Jordan beds between the October 25 first frost and the April 25 last frost, when clay heaves and pushes shallow perennials right out of the ground. Over several seasons, decomposing bark mulch adds the organic matter our native clay is starved for, which slowly improves structure and drainage. For most homeowners here, mulch is the single cheapest way to cut summer watering while keeping beds looking finished.
