Use 3 inches in open sun beds and 2 inches under dense shrubs or around shallow rooted plants like lantana. Order about 10 percent extra for settling and for the low spots caliche grading always leaves behind.

Mulch Mound delivered a yard of pea gravel to us. Delivery was on time, driver was friendly and hit a bullseye on the “tarp target”. We used the pea gravel (which was diameter as specified) to fill several muskrat holes around our pond. I would definitely recommend Mulch Mound to a friend!

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.
For Henderson's type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorMeasure each planted bed separately in feet, length times width, and add the areas together rather than guessing at your whole lot. Skip any area that is staying in decorative rock, which in Henderson is often most of the yard. One cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches deep.
Most yards in the Henderson area sit on type of soil. Caliche is a cemented calcium carbonate hardpan that sits just inches below the surface across much of Henderson, and it stops roots and water cold. Plant beds built straight on top of it tend to hold standing water in the planting hole while the surrounding soil stays bone dry.
Hardwood Mulch
Shredded hardwood is the best mulch for caliche ground because it slowly contributes organic matter to the thin soil above the hardpan and keeps that layer cool and damp enough for soil life to work. Over a few seasons the biological activity it feeds helps soften the upper crust and improves how water moves into the root zone.
Pair your mulch with a few yards of compost or garden soil to amend the caliche before you spread, and add decorative rock or cobble for the transition strips between beds and hardscape.
Before mulching a new bed, soak it slowly for a couple of hours the day before. Caliche and our desert soils repel water when bone dry, and a dry bed under fresh mulch can stay dry for months because the mulch sheds the light irrigation that follows. One deep pre soak lets the profile wet up, and the mulch then keeps that moisture in place instead of locking dryness underneath the layer.
Build a shallow basin around new trees rather than a volcano of mulch against the trunk. In Henderson the goal is to catch and hold the little water you apply, so form a berm at the dripline, fill the inside with 3 inches of mulch, and leave a bare 4 inch collar at the trunk. That collar prevents bark rot and discourages scorpions from nesting right against the tree.
Refresh color instead of replacing volume. Our intense ultraviolet light fades mulch gray within a year or two even though the wood itself is still intact. Rake the old layer to turn the bleached fibers under, then add just 1 inch of fresh product on top. You get the rich look back for a third of the cost, and you avoid piling depth that traps too much moisture against plant crowns.
Henderson sits at 1,867 feet on the edge of the Mojave, where roughly 5 inches of rain falls in an entire year and summer surface temperatures in an unshaded bed can climb past 150 degrees. Mulch is the single cheapest way to keep that heat off your root zones and slow the evaporation that drains drip emitters before the water ever soaks in. Under our caliche hardpan, roots tend to spread sideways in the top few inches of soil, which is exactly the layer that bakes first, so covering it matters more here than in wetter regions. A 3 inch blanket of bark or hardwood also blocks the sunlight that wakes up puncturevine and London rocket after a winter storm. With a Zone 9b season that runs from a mid February last frost to a December 10 first frost, your beds are actively growing about ten months a year and need protection for nearly all of it. Mulch is also the only realistic way to build organic matter into ground that has almost none.
