For most Jericho planting beds in sandy loam soil, apply 3 inches of mulch to provide adequate moisture retention and weed suppression through the dry late-summer periods. Foundation beds can be maintained at 2 to 3 inches, with annual top-ups to maintain consistent depth as organic mulch breaks down into the sandy soil below.

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 Jericho's Sandy Loam type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorMeasure each garden bed's length and width in feet and multiply to get square footage, then add all your bed areas together before calculating volume. In Jericho's sandy loam landscape, where beds are often bordered by lawn edging or hardscape, measuring twice before ordering prevents coming up short. Use a 3-inch depth as your standard for open beds and 2 inches near plant crowns to stay within a safe range for Jericho's climate.
Most yards in the Jericho area sit on Sandy Loam type of soil. Jericho's sandy loam soil drains freely, which means plant beds lose moisture rapidly during dry spells and struggle to hold the nutrients that plants need throughout the growing season. Mulching over sandy loam is one of the most effective ways to slow evaporation and reduce the frequency of supplemental watering during Jericho's dry late-summer stretches.
Hardwood Mulch
Hardwood mulch is particularly well-suited to Jericho's sandy loam beds because as it decomposes it releases organic matter and humic compounds directly into the soil surface, gradually increasing the soil's water-holding capacity. Over several seasons, consistent hardwood mulch applications can measurably improve the structure of sandy loam, making it more hospitable to a wider variety of zone 7b perennials and shrubs.

If your beds have lean sandy soil that needs enrichment before mulching, pairing your mulch order with a delivery of garden soil or topsoil will set your plants up for a much stronger growing season in Jericho's zone 7b climate. Adding stone edging or decorative gravel borders alongside your mulch beds creates a clean, defined look that holds mulch in place through Jericho's rainy spring season.
Jericho's sandy loam soil warms up quickly in spring, which is great for early planting but also means weed seeds germinate fast once the last frost passes on April 15. Apply your mulch within the first two weeks after that date to create a barrier before weeds get established. A 3-inch layer at this stage will suppress most annual weeds through the entire growing season without requiring repeated hand-weeding through the summer.
Before the November 17 first frost arrives in Jericho, mound mulch lightly around the base of borderline-hardy perennials and shrubs. Zone 7b winters can dip cold enough to freeze the shallow root zones of plants like roses and certain ornamental grasses. A 4-inch protective ring of hardwood mulch around the crown, pulled back slightly to prevent direct contact, can make the difference between plants that bounce back in spring and ones that do not survive the winter.
With 46 inches of annual rainfall moving through Jericho's freely draining sandy loam, nutrients leach downward faster than in clay-heavy soils. Organic mulch acts as a slow-release surface amendment, and as it breaks down it feeds beneficial soil organisms that help retain nutrients in the root zone. Choosing a fine-shredded hardwood mulch rather than a coarse chip accelerates this process and means your soil gets more benefit from each cubic yard you apply each season.
Sandy loam soil in Jericho drains quickly, which means plant beds dry out faster than homeowners expect, especially during the stretch between spring rains and the humid Long Island summers. Applying mulch creates a buffer layer that slows evaporation and keeps root zones consistently moist through the warm months. Jericho sits in growing zone 7b, where winters are cold enough to heave shallow-rooted plants but not so severe that freeze damage is constant, making fall mulch application before the November 17 first frost important for root protection. The 46 inches of annual rainfall Jericho receives is generous, but it arrives unevenly, with dry spells common in late summer that stress plants growing in sandy loam beds. A proper mulch layer also moderates soil temperature swings, which are more pronounced in sandy soils that absorb and release heat quickly. Keeping beds mulched year-round in Jericho reduces weed pressure, preserves curb appeal, and supports the consistent soil moisture that zone 7b perennials and shrubs depend on.
