How West Burlington's Climate and Soil Affect Mulch
West Burlington experiences about 68 wet days a year, with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important. Work around the wet periods to avoid sinking or muddy conditions.
Around 122 days each year drop below freezing. With about 20 inches of snowfall, plowing can damage a loose surface. The ground freezes deep and long. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar.
Soils mapped in the West Burlington area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. Where the ground is drained, it takes water in slowly; where it is not, most rain runs off. That makes a deeper base layer under mulch more important here than in other areas.
Estimating Your Mulch Order
To figure out how many tons of mulch you need, measure the area you want to cover and choose a depth. A depth of 2 to 3 inches is typical for most beds. Use our mulch calculator to get a tonnage estimate based on your square footage.
