Mulch ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Stigler address and unloads right where you point.
Mulch is sold by the ton, and a typical Stigler project, like refreshing beds or ringing trees, takes more weight than a few bags can hold. Ordering bulk from Gravel Monkey means the material arrives on a dump truck, ready to spread.
Stigler gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you apply mulch. A proper depth and type help keep the covering in place during heavy rain.
Gravel Monkey carries one bulk mulch choice: shredded hardwood. It is a durable, dark-colored material that breaks down slowly, making it suitable for beds, borders, and tree rings. The table below shows what you can order.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Shredded Hardwood Mulch | beds, borders, tree rings, weed suppression | Breaks down slowly, good for covering large areas evenly. |
The right mulch type and depth depend on what you are fixing. Use the table below to match your project to a product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Weed suppression | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 2 to 3 inches deep to block light |
| Tree rings | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 2 to 3 inches, keep away from trunk |
| Refreshing existing beds | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 1 to 2 inches top-up over old layer |
| New planting beds | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 2 to 3 inches after soil prep |
| Slope where mulch washes out | Shredded Hardwood Mulch | 3 inches minimum, use coarser texture |
About 65 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in Stigler. That means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important so the truck can place the load without rutting the lawn. The workable season for most projects runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch.
The area sees about 72 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That freeze-thaw cycle shifts the ground slightly, so a deeper mulch layer helps settle the surface over time. Soils mapped in the Stigler area are commonly moderately well drained, meaning you may need extra base stone under the surface layer for paths or beds that take foot traffic.
Ground around Stigler is in a hydrologic group that takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This behavior means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere when you apply mulch over a permeable layer.
Measure the length and width of the area you want to cover, then decide on a depth. Multiply those numbers to get cubic feet, then convert to tons using our mulch calculator, which accounts for the material's weight. That gives you a close estimate for ordering.

Mulch works as a top covering, but below it you may need other materials. Consider these for the same project.
Yes. With about 72 days a year below 32 degrees, the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. This movement can settle a loose mulch layer, so ordering a slightly deeper depth, 3 inches instead of 2, helps the covering stay even through the season. The frost is moderate, meaning you can work the ground for most of spring through fall.
Yes. Stigler averages about 2 inches of snow per year, so nearly all precipitation comes as rain. The area's soils take water in very slowly, causing runoff. That makes a coarser mulch or a deeper layer a better choice to resist washing away during heavy rains.
Shredded hardwood mulch is the only option on this page. It comes in a fine shred that locks together well, making it good for slopes and beds. For weed suppression, a 2 to 3 inch depth works. For areas prone to washout, go closer to 3 inches.
Mulch is sold by the ton, not by the bag. One ton covers roughly 100 to 130 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on moisture content. Use the mulch calculator on this site to convert your area into tons before ordering.
