Buy Mulch in South Dakota

Mulch and Climate Across South Dakota

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to in South Dakota runs from about 20 to 29 inches. That range means mulch can dry out quickly in the west but holds moisture longer in the east. Adding mulch helps even out moisture swings.

Freezing days range from about 157 to 181 days a year below 32F. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. Deep frost keeps the ground closed for months, so this work waits for the thaw rather than the calendar. That long freeze means you want a mulch that does not decompose too fast during the short growing season.

Hydrologic groups C and B are the most common across the served cities. These soils drain slowly or moderately, so a layer of mulch reduces runoff and keeps roots from sitting in water.
