Bulk Mulch.

Picture
This is our sign by the road- says it all. These prices are for chocolate/coffee/forest floor (almost black) mulches that we make here. Come in and check it out before you order it. That’s really the best way to buy mulch and top soil- see it with your own eyes to make doubly sure that what you buy is what you want. This is especially true with top soil. Our top soil is literally the best around, and when you hold it in your hands and feel it fall through your fingers and smell it, you will know what I mean.

NOTE- hemlock mulch and jet-black mulch are more money because we buy it and have it shipped in to us.

Our truck holds 10-12-14 yards depending on the weight and the distance we need to travel.

Our truck is a hook lift and dumps in different shaped piles than normal dump trucks, so the pile will look different than other company’s piles.

$32/yard is our special price but we discount heavily for people who come in and pick it up and pay cash. When people pay cash, we do not have to pay credit card companies for transaction fees (yes you still have to pay tax on all purchases except firewood).

Our Kubota loader loads 32cuft with each scoop and there are 27cuft/yard, so you are getting a little extra to account for settling during transit.

​Delivery fees depends upon distance we have to travel and the roads we need to take to get to your house.

Chocolate brown mulch is a very natural looking color that blends in well with nature, clashing with nothing, holding its color well. Darker section was tossed around just before picture was taken so you can see what it will look like when wet.
Picture
Dark brown mulch is the color of coffee before the half and half is added. It has a very natural color, blending in with all landscapes nicely.
Picture
“Forest floor mulch” is almost black- deep dark brown and almost jet black when wet. Just like the others, it’s color is from the earth, like the color of a well-trodden path in a forest after a rain.
We can’t bring ourselves to sell red mulch. It’s just too unnatural.
Picture
We do not want to drive on your lawn because of photos like this. Please have us to dump mulch somewhere on your driveway. Between septic tanks, ruts in your lawn, and getting completely stuck requiring expensive tow trucks for removal, it’s just best to stay on the asphalt.

First scoop into the machine one morning.

As the sun snuck across the sky, the piles grew and grew. No lunch

Steam rises from the pile all the time, all year long.

SAMPLE MULCH CALCULATOR:

figure your square footage in feet. Add up all the areas. Multiply by .167 (that's 2"-the depth in feet for yearly applications). If you don't put it on every year, put it on three inches deep (.25).

the resulting number is total cubic feet. Divide that by 27. The end result is the approx number of yards you need. Round numbers up each computation so you aren't short two wheelbarrows.
