We want to make sure that our products arrive in the most pristine condition. If you order more than one product, such as mulch and stone, we would make two different trips because our trucks don’t have a divider, and we can’t mix the products. Therefore, there will be two delivery fees. Nevertheless, depending on your order quantity and the distance from our locations to yours, we can offer you a discount on the second delivery fee.

Mulching has an undeniable aesthetic value but it also aids in your plants growth and health. Additionally, it helps prevent weed growth and aids in retaining moisture. Using a standard fertilizer will offset any nitrogen that may be used up when wood mulch is initially spread.
The mulch you receive may not be completely dry due to stockpiling. To prevent the color from washing off, it is best to spread enhanced color mulch when rain is not eminent. When correctly applied and allowed to dry completely, your new landscape design will stay looking beautiful.
Yes! Make sure you purchase your mulch from a reliable source. Mulch can be delivered with harmful weed seeds in it because it was stockpiled next to a field of weeds. This can cause a lot of gardening aggravation that you could be paying for the long run. Additionally, if you use mulch with toxic dye, it can leach into the soil harming or even killing beneficial soil bacteria, insects, earthworms and sometimes the plants themselves.
Generally, a 2-4” layer of mulch is recommended for the first time. Each year the mulch bed should be raked and topped with about 2 inches of new mulch.
About 3 inches of mulch is recommended for beds, and we recommend mulching twice a year.
Mulching with the right amount each time will help fend off weeds and conserve moisture, which will reduce your need to irrigate.
Our triple ground shredded mulch is the finest level of shredded mulch that you will find and is easier to spread along the base of your trees and plants. Our triple shredded mulch is more effective at weed control than the other types of mulch because it locks together, preventing air and sunlight from reaching the weeds. In comparison, single shreds can leave a lot of room for sunlight, so it is not as useful for weed prevention.
The decision to buy bagged or fresh mulch depends on price and convenience factors. In general, fresh mulch will cost less. Depending on the brand, bagged mulch is often sold many months after it has been manufactured and bagged. While sitting in different conditions some bagged mulch might spoil and develop mold.
