Bolivar's Climate and Your Mulch Order
Bolivar has about 92 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid ruts from the truck. A dry spell before the truck arrives makes a difference in how easy the site is to access.
About 168 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. Mulch applied before the ground freezes can shift with frost heave, and the ground settles differently when it thaws.
Snowfall averages about 65 inches a year, and plowing can displace a loose surface layer. Soils mapped in the Bolivar area are commonly well drained. The ground around Bolivar is in hydrologic group A, meaning it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff. As area guidance, less drainage stone is needed under the surface layer, but steeper slopes still need a thicker mulch layer to resist washout.
Estimating Your Mulch Tonnage
Ordering by the ton means you need to know your coverage area and desired depth. Use the mulch calculator to convert your project's square footage and depth into the number of tons you need. That way you order the right amount and avoid over- or under-ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mulch in Bolivar
Is Bolivar a wet enough area to worry about washout?
Yes, with about 41 inches of precipitation per year, washout is a concern on slopes. Use a thicker layer of shredded hardwood mulch to slow runoff and protect the soil underneath.
Does the length of the freeze season in Bolivar change what I should order?
Yes, the long freeze season (about 168 days below 32F) means the work window is short. Order early in spring and apply after the ground thaws to avoid frost heave disrupting the mulch layer.
What else do I need to order with mulch?
Topsoil is the most common companion. Mulch is a cover, not a soil. If you are starting new beds, order topsoil first from the materials listed above.
What size mulch should I choose?
Shredded hardwood mulch is the recommended size for Bolivar. It stays in place better than fine mulch and breaks down slowly. Apply 2 to 3 inches deep for best results.
