Tower gets about 28 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose depth and placement. A well-planned mulch layer holds its ground.
Shredded hardwood mulch is not the best choice for steep slopes where it can wash out, but it works well in level beds, borders, and tree rings. It suppresses weeds and retains soil moisture.

Tower gets about 28 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning are part of the job. About 66 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, meaning you need to schedule delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting.
The ground around Tower is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place under your mulch to keep it from washing away.
About 203 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing here is deep and long. The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Snowfall of about 69 inches a year can cause plowing damage to a loose mulch surface if you spread it too early.
