Shredded Hardwood Mulch for Kent Landscapes

What to Order for Common Kent Mulch Projects

Each landscaping job needs a different depth and approach. The table below matches typical Kent projects with the right product and application.

Kent's Climate and Your Mulch Project

Kent's wet weather affects when and how you should lay mulch. With about 93 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, scheduling your delivery for a dry stretch helps keep the ground firm under the truck.

About 30 days a year drop below freezing. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift a loose mulch layer, so plan your work window around it. Soils mapped in the Kent area are commonly moderately well drained, which affects how much base stone you might need under the mulch in low areas. The ground around Kent takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually enough for most projects.

Most of this work runs spring to fall, and the ground is workable for most of that stretch. About 6 inches of snowfall a year can add weight to a mulch layer, and plowing can damage a loose surface. Keep that in mind if your mulch is near driveways or walkways.

How Many Tons of Mulch Does Your Kent Project Need?

To figure out how many tons of mulch your project requires, measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth. Use our mulch calculator to get a tonnage estimate. Enter the dimensions and depth, and the calculator returns the tons. You can order that number directly by the ton.
