About this mulch

Double-shredded mulch dyed a rich, even brown that holds its color through the season.

Our delivery was delayed but the new brown color mulch is a nice upgrade to our landscaping.

Plan on 3 inches for established shrub beds and 2 inches around annuals and shallow rooted perennials, since our silt loam holds moisture and deeper piles can keep crowns too wet. One cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches.

Calculate mulch for your Dyersburg project

For Dyersburg's type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention

📍

Measure each bed separately, length times width in feet, and add curves as rough rectangles rather than trying to be exact. Multiply the total square footage by your depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Round up a quarter yard, because Dyersburg beds almost always have a low spot that eats more than you planned.

Mulch vs. No Mulch: The Difference

Dyersburg gets roughly 50 inches of rain a year paired with long, humid Zone 7b summers, which is close to ideal conditions for the fungi and bacteria that eat wood mulch. Natural hardwood breaks down noticeably within a single season here, feeding the silt loam but leaving thin spots by August. Dyed mulches are treated with colorant that slows moisture uptake, so they hold their look and their depth considerably longer in our climate.

Pair your mulch with a few yards of garden soil or compost to loosen the silt before spreading, and add steel or stone edging to keep mulch from floating into the yard during Dyersburg's heavy spring storms.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Break the crust before you spread. Dyersburg silt loam forms a hard surface seal after a few pounding rains, and dumping mulch on top just locks that seal in place. Run a cultivating fork or stiff rake an inch or two into the bed surface first, especially around shrubs planted in the last two years. Water soaks in instead of sheeting off, and the mulch settles into contact with the soil where it can actually feed it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mind the mulch line at your foundation. Humidity here rarely lets wood dry out fully between May and September, and stacked mulch against brick creates a permanent damp bridge for termites and carpenter ants. Keep six inches of bare soil between the mulch edge and any siding, brick, or porch slab. On sloped Dyersburg lots, that gap also gives storm runoff a channel away from the house instead of into the crawlspace.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Time your color choice to sun exposure. Dyed black mulch absorbs heat and can push bed temperatures uncomfortably high in a full sun Dyersburg yard by late July, stressing hydrangeas and azaleas that already struggle in our humidity. Use black and dark brown in shaded or north facing beds, and choose natural hardwood or a lighter brown where the afternoon sun bakes. The color also fades slower under partial shade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

When is the best time to mulch in Dyersburg?

Late March into mid April is ideal, right around our April 5 average last frost, once the soil has warmed but before summer weeds germinate. A second lighter refresh in October, ahead of the October 28 first frost, protects tender root zones through winter and keeps the silt loam from heaving during freeze and thaw cycles.

Answer

How fast does mulch break down here with all the rain we get?

With about 50 inches of rain a year and long humid summers, natural hardwood mulch in Dyersburg typically loses noticeable volume in 9 to 12 months and needs topping off every spring. Dyed and larger nugget products hold their form closer to 18 months because they shed water rather than sponging it up.

Answer

Will mulch make my bed hold too much water in our clay heavy silt?

Dyersburg silt loam already drains slower than sand, so keep mulch at 2 to 3 inches and never pile it against stems. If a bed stays soggy after storms, mix in a couple inches of compost or garden soil first to open the profile, then mulch over the amended surface.

Answer

Does mulch help with the termites and ants we see in West Tennessee?

Mulch does not attract termites on its own, but any damp wood held against a foundation in our humid climate invites trouble. Keep a bare six inch gap between mulch and brick or siding on Dyersburg homes, and stick to 2 inches deep within three feet of the house.

Answer

How much mulch do I need for a typical Dyersburg front bed?

A standard foundation bed running 40 feet long and 5 feet deep is 200 square feet, which takes about 1.85 cubic yards at 3 inches. Most Dyersburg ranch homes with front and side beds land in the 3 to 5 yard range, and we deliver anything from 1 yard on up.

Answer

Can you deliver if my driveway is soft or my yard drains poorly?

Yes, though we ask that you avoid scheduling right after a heavy West Tennessee rain event when the silt loam is saturated and rutting is likely. Driveway drops are safest, and we can lay the pile on a tarp so cleanup is a matter of sweeping rather than scrubbing.

Answer

Should I pull last year's mulch out before adding new?

Usually not. In Dyersburg the old layer has already begun composting into the silt loam and is feeding your soil, so just rake it flat to break the crust and add 1 to 2 inches of fresh material. Only strip it out if the total depth has crept past 4 inches or you see a matted, water shedding crust on top.

The Unique Landscape of Dyersburg

Dyersburg sits on deep West Tennessee silt loam, a loess soil that holds water well but crusts over and seals shut after the hard spring rains that push our annual total near 50 inches. Bare beds around Dyersburg homes wash out fast, especially on the slopes running down toward the Forked Deer bottoms, and that crusting is what starves roots of air. A layer of mulch absorbs the impact of those downpours, keeps the silt in place, and holds the surface loose enough for water to soak in instead of running to the street. In Zone 7b, mulch also buffers the swing between 95 degree July afternoons and the cold snaps that arrive around the October 28 first frost. Between Apr 5 and Oct 28 our growing season stretches roughly 200 days, which is 200 days of weed pressure that a good mulch layer quietly shuts down.
