Mulch ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Minnesota address and unloads right where you point.
Contractors and homeowners both buy mulch by the truckload, but they plan the job differently. A contractor may order for several properties at once, while a homeowner refills one bed after winter. Gravel Monkey delivers bulk shredded hardwood mulch across Minnesota by the ton, straight to your driveway or job site.
You choose the quantity, pick a delivery window, and the dump truck shows up. The price is set at checkout based on your ZIP code and the tonnage you need.
Gravel Monkey sources a single mulch product for Minnesota deliveries: shredded hardwood mulch. It works for a range of landscaping jobs, from flower beds to tree rings. The table below lists the product and its typical uses.

| Shredded Hardwood Mulch | beds, borders, tree rings, weed suppression | Dark, fibrous texture that knits together and resists wind movement. |
The table below matches five typical projects to the right shredded hardwood mulch depth or note.

| Refreshing existing beds | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | Top up to maintain a 2-inch layer |
| Weed suppression | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 3-inch layer for best results |
| Tree rings | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | Keep 1 inch away from trunk |
| Slope where mulch washes out | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | Use a thicker layer to slow runoff |
Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in Minnesota runs from about 27 to 34 inches. The freezing season ranges from roughly 161 to 203 days a year below 32F, depending on location. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar.
The most common soil types across served cities fall into hydrologic groups A and C. Group A soils drain quickly, so heavier mulch layers help hold moisture. Group C soils drain slowly, so a thinner layer reduces waterlogging. Base your depth on your local soil conditions.
MnDOT runs a spring load-restriction program that can affect heavy truck deliveries. The restrictions are based on road conditions and are announced each year. Your delivery window may need to account for these rules.

Mulch is sold by the ton, so you need to convert your bed area and desired depth into weight. Shredded hardwood mulch is fairly dense; a cubic yard weighs roughly 800 to 1,000 pounds. Use the mulch calculator to enter your square footage and get an instant tonnage estimate.

You can order mulch year-round, but deliveries depend on the spring load-restriction program that MnDOT runs. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so most mulching work happens after the thaw. The delivery date you choose at checkout must be at least 3 business days after the order date.
