Local Conditions That Affect Mulch Use

Moses Lake has about 126 freezing days a year, and the ground freezes deep and long. That shortens the workable season for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Plan your delivery after the soil has thawed and dried enough to support a truck.

The freeze season is long here, which shortens the window for spreading and grading to late spring through fall. Snowfall averages about 15 inches a year, and plowing can disturb loose mulch if it is applied too early.

Only about 26 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling delivery onto firm ground is straightforward. Soils mapped in the Moses Lake area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface. Ground here soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff, so drainage stone under the mulch is less critical.
