Plan on 3 inches for established beds and 2 inches around shallow rooted shrubs like azaleas and hydrangeas. Deeper than 4 inches holds too much moisture in silt loam and can suffocate roots.

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 Sedalia's type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorBreak irregular Sedalia beds into rectangles and circles rather than guessing at one number, then add the pieces together. Measure at the widest point of curved beds so you are not short. One cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches deep, which is the standard for our area.
Most yards in the Sedalia area sit on type of soil. Sedalia silt loam holds water and nutrients well, but it compacts under foot traffic and forms a hard surface crust after heavy rain that keeps water and air from reaching roots. Plant beds in this soil often look fine on the surface while roots below are sitting in a dense, airless layer.
Hardwood Mulch
Hardwood mulch solves this directly. It cushions rainfall so the surface never crusts, and as it breaks down it adds organic matter that earthworms work into the silt loam, creating pore space that improves both drainage and moisture holding in the same bed.
Pair your mulch order with a few yards of screened topsoil or compost to build up thin beds first, and add edging stone to keep mulch from washing onto the sidewalk during Sedalia's heavy spring rains.
Service area
Edge before you mulch, not after. Cut a clean 3 inch deep trench along the bed line with a spade, angling the cut back toward the plants. On Sedalia silt loam that trench holds its shape all season and catches the mulch that would otherwise float into the lawn during a June downpour. It also gives the bed a crisp line that makes an ordinary mulch job look professionally installed.
Pull mulch back from trunks and stems. Volcano mulching against maples and river birches is common around Sedalia neighborhoods, and it rots bark, invites voles, and encourages girdling roots. Leave a bare ring 3 to 4 inches wide at the base of every tree and shrub. The flare where the trunk widens into roots should always be visible above the mulch line.
Water the bed before mulching if the soil is dry. Sedalia often goes through a dry stretch in late July and August, and dry silt loam under fresh mulch stays dry because the mulch sheds light rain. Soak the ground thoroughly the day before you spread, then apply your layer. You are trapping moisture in, not waiting for a storm to soak through 3 inches of hardwood.
Sedalia sits in Zone 6b on Pettis County silt loam, a soil that holds moisture well but crusts over and sheds water after a hard summer downpour. With about 42 inches of rain a year, much of it arriving in heavy May and June storms, bare beds erode and splash mud onto siding and foundation plants. A layer of mulch absorbs that impact, keeps the silt loam from sealing shut, and buffers the swing between 95 degree July afternoons and the sudden cold snaps that follow the October 17 first frost. It also holds soil moisture through the dry August stretch that regularly follows Sedalia's wet spring, which keeps hydrangeas and young trees from stalling. For a growing season running roughly from the April 14 last frost to mid October, mulch is the single cheapest way to cut watering and weeding in half.
