Depth Guide by Mulch Type

TypeTarget depthWorking rangeNotes
Hardwood / bark 3 in 2 – 4 in Breaks down and feeds the soil; refresh with about 1 in each spring.
Pine (bark / straw) 3 in 2 – 4 in Lightweight and quick to settle; use 3 – 4 in for loose pine straw.
Rubber 1 in 0.5 – 1 in Doesn't decompose — never pile it deep in beds. Deeper lays are only for playground fall zones.

Too thin invites weeds; too deep starves roots of air and water. Stay inside the working range for your mulch type.
