Mulch Mound made it so easy! So happy with the pricing, turn around time, delivery and product. I submitted my online order on a Thursday. The mulch was delivered to the designated location by a local landscape company at 8:30 a.m. the following Saturday morning. We had the job completed by that afternoon. We chose the natural brown mulch, and the plant beds are beautiful.

Getting mulch should be this easy from everyone. Only Mulch Mound is ACTUALLY this simple.
Calculate mulch for your Dyersburg project
For Dyersburg's type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorMeasure 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.
Best Mulch Choice for Dyersburg Lawns
Most yards in the Dyersburg area sit on type of soil. Dyersburg silt loam is fine textured loess that packs down and crusts over after heavy rain, which chokes off air to shallow shrub and perennial roots. Beds left bare here also lose their surface layer to runoff every spring.
Hardwood Mulch
Double ground hardwood mulch is the best answer for silt loam because its coarse fibers keep raindrops from hammering the surface and its slow decay adds organic matter that separates the silt particles. Over two or three seasons that means a looser, darker, better draining bed instead of a compacted crust.
Complete Your Outdoor Mulch Project
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.

Areas we deliver mulch in Dyersburg, Tennessee
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.
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.
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.
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.
