Frequently Asked Questions

Mulch

What is the difference between dyed mulch and undyed?

Dyed mulch and undyed are both triple shredded hardwood. The dyed will keep its color longer, as undyed tends to fade sooner.

Does the Dyed Mulch Stain?

Yes, so we advise our customers to lay down a tarp. Mulch needs to be put down in beds when no rain fall is predicted within twenty four hours.

How much mulch do I need?

Our mulch is sold by the cubic yard. The following is a guide to how much mulch you may need for your project: 1 YD of Mulch: 27 cubic ft (weight 600 to 800lbs) / Bagged Mulch is 2 cubic feet Spread 3″ deep will cover 108 sq. ft. Spread 2″ deep will cover 162 sq. ft. Spread 1″ deep will cover 324 sq. ft.

Are there any termites in the mulch?

All wood can attract termites, but because mulch has considerably small pieces of wood, termites will most likely choose a different home.

Delivery

Does someone need to be home at the time of the delivery?

No. Someone only needs to be home if you want your mulch dumped in a potentially problematic area. Customer can leave directions and markers where product is to be delivered. However, the customer is responsible for approval of product before it is dumped on the property so if possible, someone should be home. If the customer does not want the product, there will be a haul rate fee assessed for returning product to the shop. Once the product has been delivered and dumped on the property, the customer has accepted the product and cannot be returned. Before delivery, a payment method must be on file.
