Harrington Weather and Soil for Mulching

Harrington gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, with about 75 days bringing at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That makes scheduling delivery onto firm ground important. Wet mulch is heavy and harder to spread.

The ground freezes about 83 days a year, and snowfall averages about 13 inches. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it. Soils in the area are commonly poorly drained, so a deeper base under your mulch may be needed to handle runoff.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mulch in Harrington

Does the length of the freeze season in Harrington change what I should order?

Yes. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the work window is affected but not extreme. A layer of mulch 3 to 4 inches thick helps resist freeze-thaw movement.

Is Harrington wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Yes. The ground around Harrington is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where drained it takes water in at a moderate rate; where not, water runs off. That makes drainage a key factor in choosing mulch. Shredded hardwood mulch drains well and resists waterlogging.

Can a contractor order on behalf of a customer?

Yes. A contractor can place the order and have it delivered to the customer's address. The delivery must be confirmed by someone at the site.

Do you take orders from businesses as well as homeowners?

Yes. We take orders from businesses, contractors, landscapers, and homeowners. Anyone can order bulk mulch by the ton.
