Choosing the Right Mulch for Common Projects

Each project has its own needs. The table below shows which product works best for common mulch jobs in Auburn.

Auburn's Climate and Your Mulch

Auburn receives about 34 inches of precipitation annually. This means mulch beds can wash out if not properly installed. A drainage layer beneath the mulch helps manage water flow. The soil in the area is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Therefore, a deeper drainage layer earns its place under the mulch.

With about 136 days a year below freezing, the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. This movement can shift mulch and create gaps. After the first thaw, you may need to top up the mulch. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar.

About 59 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground is important to avoid compaction and muddy conditions. Planning your delivery during drier weeks can help the mulch settle properly.

Estimating How Much Mulch You Need

To find out how many tons of shredded hardwood mulch your Auburn project requires, measure the length and width of the area you want to cover. Decide on the depth, typically 2 to 3 inches for beds. Use our mulch calculator to get a tonnage estimate based on your dimensions.
