Mulch ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Monticello address and unloads right where you point.
Mulch is sold by the ton, and a typical Monticello project might need anywhere from a single ton to over forty tons. The right amount depends on the depth you want and the area you plan to cover.
Monticello gets about 50 inches of rain a year, so a good layer of shredded hardwood mulch can help manage moisture and keep weed seeds from germinating during the wet months. Ordering by the ton from Gravel Monkey means you get the delivered price for your address with no surprises.
Our shredded hardwood mulch works for all types of garden beds, tree rings, and weed control. It is finely shredded and stays in place better than coarser materials, so it suits both flat lots and gentle slopes.

Monticello sees about 71 wet days a year, each with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Planning your delivery for a dry spell helps keep the truck from turning the site into mud.
Freezing temperatures occur about 62 days a year. This can narrow the window for spreading mulch, but the ground does not freeze deep here, so you can work most months.
Soils mapped in the Monticello area are commonly well drained. That means you may need less base stone under the mulch compared to clay-rich areas. The ground takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard depths work well for drainage. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Estimating tonnage starts with measuring the area you want to cover and choosing a depth. Our mulch calculator does the math for you, giving a tonnage estimate based on your dimensions. Mulch is sold by the ton, and the calculator helps you avoid ordering too little or too much.
