A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

Our black double shredded mulch delivers bold color and consistent coverage. Processed twice for a smooth, uniform look that spreads evenly across beds and borders. The rich black tone works especially well in Milwaukee's humid continental climate, holding color through sun and rain. This mulch does more than look good. It insulates soil against temperature swings, holds moisture where roots need it, and blocks light from reaching weed seeds. Milwaukee beds stay healthier with less work.

Complete Your Outdoor Mulch Project

Mulch is step one for Milwaukee yards. Quality soil underneath helps plants establish faster in clay loam conditions. Decorative stone finishes edges and walkways.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Black dyed mulch absorbs significantly more heat than brown or red varieties. In sunny Milwaukee beds, this can raise soil temperature several degrees, which helps in spring but may stress plants during summer heat.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Pull weeds before they go to seed, then mulch over the bare spot immediately. Waiting until after seed drop means you are just burying thousands of future weed problems under fresh material that will sprout next season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mushroom compost makes an excellent organic mulch for vegetable gardens and annual flower beds. It adds nutrients continuously as it breaks down and improves clay loam soil structure and fertility over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Should I mulch before winter?

Yes—winter mulch insulates roots. For Milwaukee in zone 5b, wait until after Oct 10 when soil has cooled down.

Answer

When is the best time to mulch?

Plan for late spring mulching in Milwaukee, after May 5 when the ground warms. Too early and you'll trap cold soil under the mulch.

Answer

How much mulch do I need?

One cubic yard covers roughly 100 square feet at 3 inches deep. Measure your beds, use our calculator, and add 10% extra—nothing worse than running short.

Answer

Should I order extra material?

Definitely order a cushion—10% extra prevents that annoying mid-project shortage. Our delivery fee is based on mileage, not quantity.

Answer

How does Milwaukee's climate affect mulch?

Mulch decomposes at a moderate pace in Milwaukee's humid continental conditions. Expect to refresh beds every year to 18 months.

Answer

What mulch is best for clay loam?

Hardwood mulch works well with clay loam. As it decomposes, it improves structure—beneficial for the lake-effect clay common in Milwaukee.

Answer

How far should mulch be from plant stems?

Leave a 2–3 inch gap around plant bases. Piling mulch against stems traps moisture—problematic in Milwaukee's humidity.

The Unique Landscape of Milwaukee

Mulch keeps beds tidy while doing real work for your plants. Milwaukee freeze–thaw and spring rain can beat up beds if materials aren’t refreshed. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a good mulch layer helps beds look finished while holding moisture and limiting weeds. It helps hold moisture, cuts weeds, and protects roots from temperature swings. Aim for a 2–3 inch layer and keep it off trunks and stems. Natural hardwood blends in; dyed options add contrast and a “freshly edged” look. Delivery lets you finish the project in one go—no hauling, no repeat trips.
