Buy Mulch in Missouri

Across the cities we deliver to in Missouri, annual precipitation runs from about 42 to 48 inches. That moisture drives the need for a protective layer on planting beds and slopes. Gravel Monkey delivers shredded hardwood mulch throughout the state by the ton.

The number of freezing days varies from about 95 to 117 a year below 32F, depending on where you are. That freeze-thaw cycle can heave bare soil and push thin mulch aside. A deeper layer helps keep the ground stable through winter.

Shredded Hardwood Mulch Delivered in Missouri

This is the mulch we sell most often for Missouri properties. The shreds tangle together, so they resist washing out on sloped ground and hold moisture under the surface.

Matching Your Project to the Right Mulch Depth

Each job calls for a different layer thickness. The table below lines up the project with the product and the depth you would typically aim for.

Missouri Weather and What It Means for Mulch

Rainfall across the served cities runs from about 42 to 48 inches per year. That amount of water percolates through a thin layer quickly, so a depth of 2 to 3 inches is the baseline for most beds.

The soil in most of the served areas falls into hydrologic groups C and D. Those soils drain more slowly, so the base depth for new beds should be at least 2 to 3 inches to keep water moving through the profile.

The number of freezing days runs from about 95 to 117 a year below 32F, depending on the location. Freeze-thaw cycles can push mulch aside if it is too thin. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
