Aim for 3 inches over established beds and 3 to 4 inches for new plantings where weed pressure is highest. Around trees, taper to 2 inches near the trunk and never mound mulch against the bark.

UPDATE!
I can’t say enough good things about Mulch Mound! If you read my review below you will see I had a problem with my order. Mulch Mound was quick to respond and solved the issue with my delivery. Will definitely be a customer next year.
First time purchase from Mulch Mound!! First what I liked! Easy to order online and straight forward pricing and delivery. The driver was on time and courteous and delivered my Mulch exactly where I requested! The product is of good quality and comparable to others I have purchased from before. Now what I DID’NT LIKE! I have been mulching the same house and yard for almost 20 years. I always order the same amount and don’t have any issues with covering the same area but this year I fell about a yard short. I was home when the mulch was delivered and when the driver dumped it I noticed that it seemed a bit less than I was used to. I didn’t apply it any thicker than usual and probably a bit thinner than usual because I was worried about running out.
Our delivery was delayed but the new brown color mulch is a nice upgrade to our landscaping.
For Harrison's type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorBreak odd shaped Harrison beds into rectangles and circles, calculate each one separately, then add them together. For curved island beds, average the widest and narrowest points to get a workable number. Our calculator converts square footage to cubic yards at your chosen depth, and one cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches.
Most yards in the Harrison area sit on type of soil. Cherty silt loam around Harrison is loaded with angular rock fragments that drain water away from roots quickly and leave a thin, low organic layer on top. Plant beds in this soil dry out fast in August and crust over after spring storms, which makes establishing new shrubs a real challenge.
Hardwood Mulch
Shredded hardwood mulch is the practical fix because it decomposes into the surface layer and steadily adds the organic matter cherty silt loam lacks. Over two or three seasons that breakdown improves moisture retention, feeds soil life, and softens the top few inches so roots can spread between the chert fragments.
Pair your mulch with a few yards of screened topsoil or compost to build up thin cherty ground before spreading, and add decorative stone or boulders for edging that will not float during Harrison's heavy spring storms.
Service area
Edge before you mulch, not after. Cut a 4 inch deep V trench at the bed line with a spade, angling the outside wall toward the lawn. On cherty silt loam the chert makes this work slower, so do it when the soil is damp a day or two after rain. That trench holds mulch in place during Harrison downpours, gives you a clean line that lasts a full season, and keeps bermuda and fescue from creeping into the bed.
Water your beds thoroughly before spreading mulch, especially during a dry Harrison spring. Dry mulch laid over dry cherty soil acts like a sponge and can intercept a light rain before it ever reaches roots. Soak the ground first, spread the mulch, then water again lightly to settle the fibers together. That single step is the difference between mulch that conserves moisture and mulch that competes for it.
Do not rake out old mulch every spring. In Harrison the decomposed bottom layer is quietly rebuilding organic matter in soil that has very little to start with, thanks to all the chert fragments. Instead, fluff the existing layer with a cultivator to break any crust, then top dress with just enough fresh mulch to reach 3 inches. You save money and your soil steadily improves year over year.
Harrison sits at 1,247 feet on the Springfield Plateau, where beds are built on cherty silt loam that drains fast and dries out faster once July heat settles into the Ozarks. That chert content means water slips past the root zone quickly, and bare soil surfaces crust over after the hard spring storms that push Boone County past 46 inches of rain a year. Mulch is the buffer that keeps those two extremes from wrecking a planting, holding moisture through August dry spells and absorbing the impact of downpours so silt does not wash toward the street. In Zone 7a, with a last frost around April 12 and a first frost near October 25, mulch also stretches the shoulder seasons by moderating soil temperature swings on those clear, cool Ozark nights. On the sloped lots common around Harrison, a good layer of shredded hardwood knits together and stays put where lighter materials would float away. It is the least expensive thing you can add to a bed and the one that changes the most.
