Mulch ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Sheridan address and unloads right where you point.
Mulch is sold by the ton, and the right amount for your project depends on the size of the area and how deep you lay it. A typical order for a Sheridan property might be a few tons.
Sheridan gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters in any landscape project. A layer of shredded hardwood mulch helps manage moisture and suppress weeds around trees and shrubs.
For most Sheridan landscaping jobs, shredded hardwood mulch is the standard choice. It breaks down slowly and holds color well.

Sheridan sees about 49 days a year with temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That much freezing and thawing can shift the ground under a mulch bed, so a stable base matters.
Soils mapped in the Sheridan area are commonly poorly drained. That means you may need extra base material under the mulch to keep it from settling unevenly.
The ground around Sheridan is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in slowly and much runs off; where it is not drained, almost all rain runs off. This makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than elsewhere. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
To figure out the tonnage for your project, measure the area you want to cover and decide on the depth. Then use our mulch calculator to convert cubic yards to tons.

No, the freeze season does not significantly change what you should order. Ground freezing is not a significant factor in Sheridan, so you can treat the mulch bed consistently year-round.
Yes, drainage should drive the choice because Sheridan gets about 113 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That much moisture means you need a mulch that does not wash away easily.
The size refers to the particle size of the mulch. Shredded hardwood mulch comes in a variety of particle sizes, and the right size depends on your project: larger particles last longer but may let weeds through; smaller particles pack down better for weed suppression.
