Local Conditions Affecting Mulch in Harrisonburg
With about 76 days a year bringing at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling your mulch delivery onto firm ground matters. The truck needs a dry access route to place the load where you want it.
Harrisonburg sees about 120 days a year below 32F. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.
The ground around Harrisonburg takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. That means a deeper drainage layer under your mulch earns its place, especially in low spots. Soils mapped in the Harrisonburg area are commonly moderately well drained.
