Buy Mulch in Meigs County, Ohio

How Meigs County's Climate Affects Your Mulch

The ground around Meigs County is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This behavior calls for a deeper drainage layer under your mulch to keep it from washing out. The county receives about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so washout is a real concern on slopes and near downspouts.

There are about 84 wet days a year, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters. Winter brings about 124 freezing days, which shortens the work window and can cause the ground to move and settle. Snowfall of about 15 inches a year can damage a loose mulch surface from plowing. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
