Q. How much mulch do I need?
A. We recommend you mulch 3 inches deep for new beds, or beds that haven’t been mulched in a while. At this depth, one cubic yard covers approximately 100 square feet. Try the mulch calculator on our site and it’ll give you an idea. We know that beds are not always clean rectangles, so you might have to fudge your numbers a little. You can also read our quick guide on how to measure your own beds.
Q. Can you install the mulch for me?
A. Yes, we offer mulch installation services using our blower truck subject to minimums. Our team can provide a quote for installation upon request.
Q. Is your mulch chemically treated?
A. No, we do not treat our mulches with any chemicals. They are all organic. In very dry weather we recommend that when you water your plants also water down your mulch. This will help there not be a fire hazard and it also helps hold moisture in for your plants well being.
Q. What’s the best kind of mulch to use?
A. The type of mulch you use depends on your application. Coarser mulch does well in large areas and around large trees and on hillsides. A medium to fine mulch works well around shrubs and flowers. Wood mulches make good paths and playground material as well as dog runs. We would be glad to assist you in picking out a mulch that is right for your application.
Q. How many yards will my truck hold?
A. The amount of mulch that fits in a pickup truck can vary depending on the size of the truck bed and the depth of the mulch. As a rough estimate, a full-size pickup truck with an 8-foot bed can typically hold around 2 to 3 cubic yards of mulch when it’s loaded to the top of the bed. Depending on the moisture content, mulch can weigh in the vicinity of 600 – 800 pounds so you should be sure your truck or trailer is capable of holding that much weight. All loads must be tarped or covered before leaving the yard.
Q. What is mulch and why is it important for my garden or landscape?
A. Mulch is a protective layer of material placed over the soil in gardens, flower beds, or around trees and shrubs. It provides numerous benefits, including reducing water loss due to evaporation, suppressing weed growth, regulating soil temperature, and improving soil health.
Q. Is your mulch environmentally friendly?
A. Yes, our mulch is made from natural materials and is environmentally friendly. We use sustainable sourcing methods and follow industry standards and regulations to ensure that our mulch is safe for the environment.
