Frequently Asked Mulch Questions:

Why use mulch?
Mulch helps retain moisture for the plants and acts as erosion control during heavy rains. It also provides a natural weed barrier that doesn’t allow sunlight in. A mulch ground cover keeps temperatures in the soil moderate during the heat of summer and offers frost protection for plants in winter, while also providing material to enrich the soil.

Are dyed mulches okay to use?
Yes, the mulch is colored with non-toxic, iron, oxide-based dyes that are found naturally in the earth’s surface. It is safe for children, plants and animals. However, under wet conditions, the mulch could leave a slight stain on concrete driveways, so leave a tarp for the mulch to be dumped on just to be safe.

How do I set up a delivery?
The best way is to call us with a one- or two-day notice. Weekends are usually busy, so having your delivery made on a weekday assures that you’ll be ready for your weekend project. During the summer, we deliver Monday through Saturday and can accommodate special requests.

Do I need to be home for my delivery?
No, simply tell us where to dump the material when you call in your order or place a tarp or bucket in the area you like. You may leave a check on the door for payment or we accept MasterCard and Visa.

Can you always deliver right where I specify?
We will place the material as close as possible to your preferred location unless overhead wires, overhanging buildings, tree branches, tight alleyways or parked cars prevent this. For the convenience and safety for both parties, we prefer to make deliveries to your driveway as we are not responsible for incidental property damage or towing of our equipment if the delivery spot is not the driveway.

When and how much mulch should I use?
Generally, the best time to mulch is in the spring to get a good weed barrier down. A 2”-3” top dressing is recommended but a 3”-4” layer is necessary for new areas to aid in moisture retention. We recommend a light mulching in the spring and another light mulching in the fall to protect perennials for the winter. Below is a chart to help determine the amount needed. Provide us with your measurements and we will help your determine how much is needed.
