Buy Mulch in Florida

Mulch ordered from Gravel Monkey is bought by the ton, not by the bag. You place the order online, choose a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your address across Florida. Tonnage runs from 1 to over 40 tons per delivery, priced automatically by ZIP code at checkout.

This page covers the mulch we deliver statewide, the conditions that affect how it performs in Florida, and how to order. For city-specific details, the links below route to the right place.

Shredded Hardwood Mulch for Florida Landscapes

We deliver one type of mulch across Florida: shredded hardwood. It is not a soil and is not meant to be tilled in. Use it as a surface covering for beds, borders, tree rings, and areas where you want to suppress weeds.

Matching the Mulch to Your Project

The table below lists common jobs and what we recommend ordering. Depths are in inches after settling. Lighter applications need less tonnage; deeper layers on slopes need more.

Florida Climate and Mulch Performance

Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to in Florida runs from about 52 to 65 inches. That much moisture can wash out a thin layer, so we recommend a minimum 3-inch depth on flat ground and 4 inches where water flows. Freezing days range from about 0 to 23 days a year below 32 degrees F, depending on location. Most of the state sits in the negligible band for ground freezing, so frost heave is not a concern for mulch depth. With no hard freeze to work around, the timing question is moisture rather than season. The dominant soil groups are hydrologic groups A and A/D, which are well-drained to moderately well-drained. Because water moves through quickly on those soils, a thicker mulch layer helps hold moisture near the root zone.

How to Estimate How Much Mulch You Need

To figure tonnage, measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in inches, then divide by 324. That gives cubic yards. A cubic yard of shredded hardwood mulch weighs roughly 800 to 1,000 pounds depending on moisture content. For a quick volume estimate, use our mulch calculator.
