The table below shows typical project types and the recommended depth for shredded hardwood mulch.

Winter and wet weather in Wilmington affect mulch projects

With about 49 inches of precipitation a year, Wilmington sees enough rain to wash loose mulch off slopes. Planning drainage or using a coarser mulch can help. About 87 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so aim to schedule the delivery onto firm, dry ground.

The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. About 162 days a year drop below 32F, and about 75 inches of snow fall annually. Plowing loose mulch can shift it, so wait until the ground is fully settled before spreading near driveways. Ground freezing is deep and long, which determines when the ground is workable and how much it settles after thaw.

Soils mapped in the Wilmington area are commonly well drained, so more or less base stone may be needed under the surface layer depending on the site. The ground around Wilmington is in hydrologic group B, which takes water in at a moderate rate. That means standard base depth is usually enough for most projects. Windham County permitted about 160 single-family homes in 2024, a sign of ongoing development that may require new mulching work.

Frequently asked questions about mulch in Wilmington

Is Wilmington a wet enough area to worry about washout?

Yes. Wilmington averages about 49 inches of precipitation a year. On steep beds, that much rain can carry shredded mulch downhill unless the slope is edged or a coarser material is used.

Does the length of the freeze season in Wilmington change what I should order?

It does. With about 162 freezing days a year, the window for spreading and grading mulch is late spring through fall. Order early enough to get the mulch down before the ground freezes hard.

What else do I need to order with mulch?

Topsoil is the usual companion because mulch is a cover, not a growing medium. For slopes, consider crushed concrete or stone to hold the base.

What size mulch should I choose?

Shredded hardwood mulch is the standard choice for beds and borders. It knits together well and resists washing on moderate slopes.
