Three inches is the sweet spot for Wyoming beds, deep enough to hold moisture in sandy loam but not so deep that it smothers shallow roots. One cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at that depth.

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 Wyoming's type of soil, we recommend 2-3 inches for best weed suppression and moisture retention
Try Our CalculatorBreak your yard into simple rectangles and circles, measure each one in feet, and add the square footage together. Tree rings are easy to overestimate, so measure the actual radius rather than eyeballing it. Enter your total with a 3 inch depth and add about 10 percent for settling and spillage.
Most yards in the Wyoming area sit on type of soil. Wyoming's sandy loam drains beautifully but it holds very little water or nutrition, so plant beds here tend to dry out and get hungry between rains. Without a mulch layer and added organic matter, the top few inches can go dusty within days of a summer storm.
Hardwood Mulch
Shredded hardwood mulch is the best long term fix for Wyoming's sandy loam because it decomposes into humus that acts like a sponge in the upper soil profile. Each season it adds a little more organic matter, improving water holding capacity and cation exchange so your plants stay fed between rains.
Pair your mulch with a few yards of compost or garden soil to build organic matter into our lean sandy ground, and add steel or poly edging to keep mulch out of the lawn. Decorative stone works well for downspout splash zones where mulch tends to wash away.
Rake back last year's mulch before adding new material instead of piling on top. Over three or four seasons Wyoming beds can build up 6 or 7 inches of matted mulch that repels water rather than absorbing it. Pull the old layer away from stems, fluff it with a cultivator to break the crust, then add just enough fresh mulch to reach 3 inches total. Your shrubs will root deeper and water will actually reach them.
Never volcano mulch a tree. Piling mulch against the trunk of a maple or crabapple traps moisture against the bark, and with West Michigan humidity that invites rot and rodent damage over winter. Spread a flat donut instead, 3 inches deep and pulled back a few inches from the flare, extending out toward the drip line. Wider and flatter always beats taller when it comes to tree health here.
Time your pre emergent with the mulch job. If crabgrass and creeping charlie are a problem in your Wyoming beds, apply a granular pre emergent to bare soil first, then lay mulch over the top. Doing it in that order in early to mid May, when soil temperatures reach the mid 50s, catches the germination window. Skip the pre emergent in areas where you plan to direct sow annual seed.
Wyoming sits just southwest of Grand Rapids on sandy loam left behind by glacial outwash, and that soil drains fast. With only about 37 inches of rain a year spread unevenly across the seasons, beds along Byron Center Avenue and Clyde Park can go from soggy in April to bone dry by the third week of July. Mulch is the cheapest insurance a Wyoming homeowner has, because a 3 inch blanket slows evaporation from that porous sandy loam and keeps root zones from spiking in temperature during the humid stretches of August. It also buffers the freeze and thaw cycles that hit hard between the last frost around May 7 and the first frost around October 12, when Lake Michigan pushes warm days and cold nights back to back. Zone 6a perennials like coneflower, hosta, and daylily hold up far better here when their crowns are insulated rather than exposed. And because our sandy soils are naturally low in organic matter, hardwood mulch slowly feeds the ground as it breaks down.
