Mulch ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Eufaula address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners often take different approaches to buying mulch. A contractor might plan for multiple properties and order by the truckload, while a homeowner typically needs mulch for one garden bed at a time. Both benefit from bulk delivery straight to the address.
Eufaula gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any mulched area. Buying by the ton means the material is measured by weight, not by bag, which simplifies covering larger spaces.
Gravel Monkey delivers one type of mulch in Eufaula: shredded hardwood mulch. It works for beds, borders, tree rings and weed suppression.

Eufaula receives about 54 inches of precipitation each year, so heavy rain can wash mulch out of beds. Planning drainage before placing mulch helps keep it in place. With about 74 wet days annually, scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters more than in drier areas.
Freezing days number about 44 per year, but ground freezing is not a significant factor. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. Soils mapped in the Eufaula area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so base stone under the surface layer may be needed more than in well-drained areas. Around Eufaula the ground is in dual hydrologic group B/D: where it is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate; where it is not, water runs across the surface. Drainage planning for mulch beds depends on the site's drainage condition.
Mulch is sold by the ton, and the volume depends on the material's moisture and density. To estimate how many tons you need, use the mulch calculator on the Gravel Monkey site. Enter your bed's square footage and desired depth, and it gives a tonnage range to order.
Ordering is straightforward: you choose your product and quantity online, delivery is priced by ZIP code at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Loads range from 1 to over 40 tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You pick a delivery window at checkout: morning 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order. You will receive an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery proceeds only after you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

Delivery cost depends on your ZIP code and the order size. You see the exact delivery price at checkout. Gravel Monkey does not have a flat rate; the price is calculated per order. Eufaula gets about 54 inches of rain a year, so ordering enough mulch to hold against washout matters more than the delivery cost alone.
The amount depends on the area you are covering and the depth you choose. Use the mulch calculator on the site to estimate. A typical bed uses 2 to 3 inches of mulch. Soils in the Eufaula area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so a deeper layer may help with moisture retention and weed suppression.
The delivery truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close as they safely can. The site must be firm enough to support the weight of a loaded dump truck.
For weed suppression, 3 inches of mulch blocks light. For new beds, 2 to 3 inches is standard. For refreshing existing beds, 1 to 2 inches works. Depth also depends on whether the area is prone to washout; Eufaula's rainfall can move loose mulch if the layer is shallow.
Order shredded hardwood mulch by the ton and have it dropped where you need it. Choose your delivery window, approve the load, and someone must be there to accept it. The truck comes to your address, not to a yard. Start your order on the Eufaula, AL delivery area page.
