Mulch ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Lee address and unloads right where you point.
Lee sits in Strafford County, where properties often need ground cover that can handle wet conditions and long winters. About 46 inches of precipitation fall here each year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose a surface material.
Mulch is a common first layer for beds, borders and tree rings. Gravel Monkey delivers it by the ton, straight to your address, so you do not need to load bags or rent a trailer.
We carry one mulch product designed for the jobs that Lee homeowners and contractors typically face. It works for beds, weed control and tree rings across a range of property sizes.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Shredded Hardwood Mulch | beds, borders, tree rings, weed suppression | Finer texture that knits together well and resists washing on slopes. |
Each project has a specific purpose. The table below matches your goal to the right product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| New planting beds | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 2 to 3 inches deep for weed control and moisture retention. |
| Weed suppression | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 3 inches deep to block light to weed seeds. |
| Tree rings | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 2 inches deep, kept away from the trunk to avoid rot. |
| Refreshing existing beds | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 1 to 2 inches top-up applied over the old layer. |
| Slope where mulch washes out | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | Apply 3 to 4 inches; the shredded form locks together. |
Lee has about 82 wet days a year, which is when at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground helps avoid a muddy spot for the truck. About 57 inches of snow fall annually, so plowing can push loose mulch off beds if you apply it too close to the edge.
Soils in the Lee area are commonly poorly drained. That means most properties need a base layer of stone under the surface to keep the mulch from staying wet. The ground around Lee is in dual hydrologic group B/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in at a moderate rate. Where it is not, most rain runs across the surface, so drainage matters more here than in many other locations.
About 151 days each year drop below 32 degrees F. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. The long freeze-thaw cycle can shift a surface layer, so a consistent depth helps the mulch settle evenly.
Mulch is sold by the ton, not by the bag. To figure out how many tons you need, measure the area in square feet and decide the depth in inches. A cubic yard of shredded hardwood mulch weighs about 800 to 1,000 pounds, but the actual weight depends on moisture content.
Use our mulch calculator to enter your dimensions and get a tonnage estimate. The calculator also shows how many cubic yards that equals.
You order online, choose a delivery window at checkout, and we send a dump truck to your address. Delivery is priced by ZIP code, so you see the total before you confirm. Loads range from 1 to 40 tons or more for larger projects.

Mulch works as a surface cover, but it often goes over other materials. Below are products that pair with it for a complete job.
Delivery cost is calculated at checkout based on your ZIP code and the tonnage you order. Because Lee receives about 46 inches of precipitation annually, you may want extra mulch for areas prone to washout.
The number of tons depends on the area and depth. With about 151 freezing days per year in Lee, consider a deeper layer to account for settling through freeze-thaw cycles. Use the mulch calculator for a custom estimate.
Mulch is sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard or bag. The truck carries a load measured in tons, and the price reflects that weight. A typical cubic yard of shredded hardwood weighs between 800 and 1,000 pounds.
