We sell only premium grade mulches to ensure our customer high quality products. Call us today about delivery and installation of Hardwood mulch for one low price

What is premium mulch?

Premium mulch is made form 100% bark and does not contain wood pulp.  Therefore it will not become a food source for termites.  Also, the finer the mulch, the better the quality. Finely ground mulch does not need to be spread as thick to retain moisture and help keep weeds at bay. Finely ground mulch gives your beds a more consistent and manicured look.  Finely ground mulch breaks down uniformly over the season and thus will look good for the entire season.  Lastly, the finer the mulch the more overall product you are getting in each delivered yard.  When you purchase single shredded mulch you are actually purchasing air with each yard as the pieces do not pack as densely.

Types of mulch

Hardwood Mulch: Premium Double Ground.  This is our best selling mulch and is available in bulk or gag.  It is dark brown in color, double ground from the bark of hardwood trees, mainly oak.
    $28.00 per cubic yard
    $4.99 per 2 cubic foot bag

Cypress Mulch:  This mulch is  double ground.  It is a lighter color than the hardwood and is made from Grade A Cypress.  Cypress is wood mulch that has been coated with an oil to repel insects and coat any insect eggs to prevent them from hatching.
    $4.99 per 2 cubic foot bag

Cedar Mulch: This mulch is also lighter in color compared to the hardwood mulch. Many customers appreciate the fragrance of this mulch and its insect repelling qualities.
    $4.99 per 2 cubic foot bag

Bag or bulk?

When making the decision to purchase mulch in bags or in bulk, it is merely a matter of convenience. If purchasing a large amount of mulch, the customer may prefer to have a load of mulch delivered to their home and distribute it through the use of a wheelbarrow.  Another customer may want to spend a little more to purchase bags that can be carried to each area.

Determining how much mulch you need

To determine how much mulch you need the first step is to calculate how many square feet you will be covering, or the area.  Different shaped areas have different equations you must use to find the area.  For oddly shaped beds use your best judgment to break the bed up into shapes that can be measured. Then the area of each bed can be determined separately and added together.  Remember, if you have more than one area, always calculate the individual beds separately and then add the areas of each bed to find your total NEVER add the lengths and widths together and then mulitiply for find your area.  You will wind up with a misconstrued calculation

To calculate the area of a rectangle, multiply the length times the width. (L X W = A)

To calculate the area of a circle, measure the Diameter and divide by 2.  This gives you your radius.  Then multiply radius X radius X 3.14. (r2 X = A, = 3.14)

The second step is to take the calculated area and determine how many cubic yards you will need to cover your bed(s).  We sell bulk mulch by the cubic yard and we can also do half yards.  One cubic yard will cover 100ft2 two to three inches thick.  To calculate the number of yards, take the area and divide that by 100. Round up the the nearest .5 and you will have the number of cubic yards you need in order to cover your bed. 

Example:    24ft2 / 100 = 2.4    This bed would need 2.5 cubic yards of mulch.

So . . . How many bags does that mean I need?

Nine bags of 3 cubic foot bags = 1 cubic yard of mulch. Simply take your cubic yardange and multiply by nine and round up.
HintHint: Slice the mulch bag horizontally at midpoint and lift from corners to empty.
