We started making our own mulch years ago, thinking that we had better quality control, which ended up being true. We don't have to pay someone else to make it and deliver it to us which has made it possible to sell mulch at a much more reasonable price to you.
We no longer sell pine, cedar, or hemlock like we used to because they end up being about twice the price of our mulch and when the piles sit next to each other it's really hard to tell the difference. The other advantage to our mulch is that it decomposes into topsoil and adds to the health of the soil your plants are growing in. The other mulches do also, but it takes longer. If you mulch every year, you can rake the area smooth and make sure there are no weeds and put the mulch down about 2 inches deep. If you haven't mulched for a long time, or if you are mulching bare soil then it's prudent to use 3+ inches of mulch. If you're confused about how much mulch you need, you can refer to the scribbled mulch formula at the bottom of this page.
We do not sell red mulch, but prefer to use the more earth-tone colors. We sell one that looks like a Hershey's chocolate bar (Chocolate Brown), one that is dark brown like the color of coffee (Dark Brown), and one that is 99% of the way to being black (Forest Floor). We also sell un-dyed mulch which we don't think is all that decorative because the sun makes it fade to the color is concrete in about 6 weeks which isn't very ornamental, but it's here if you want it.
When we post pictures on this website, the colors never look quite like the mulch in person and accordingly we suggest you visit us in person to choose the color you like- that way you get what you really want.
Pricing for mulch is by the yard and we charge an additional delivery fee. You can text our store phone (203-261-3926) with the number of yards, color and address and we will send you back taxed total.
We discount slightly our mulches when you come in and pick it up, and further discounted if you pay cash so we can avoid the credit card fees. Usually we put a sign by the road displaying these prices on a yearly basis. We charge a flat rate (same price for pickup, cash, and delivery) for the black mulch because it takes twice as much dye to get it that dark and the piles that we get are half the size of the other piles so it's always more expensive.

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.
