This year we made our own mulch. Because of this, we are able to sell it at about $10-$15 less than when I buy it from someone and resell it.
The pictures say it all with regards to pricing, but I’ll recap:
$30/yard for black and dark brown mulch. $28/yard for our undyed mulch.
Delivery charges are extra, depending upon where you live. Our truck holds at least ten yards, maybe more if you live close.

BUT!!!
If you have a truck or can send someone over to the nursery, and pay cash (actual money), here are the prices:
Black and brown dyed mulch=$25.00/yard!!!
Undyed mulch=$23.00/yard!!!
ADD TAX. Some people think if you pay cash there is no tax. UNTRUE. Everything but firewood is taxable at the nursery.

I’m adding a few pictures of the mulch dying process- interesting machine used.
We make mulch better than we paint signs, but you get the idea.
Thousands of yards of homemade mulch for the dog to run up.
Our nursery dog is named “Peetee,” after the little rascals pitt bull dog.
First scoop into the machine one morning.
As the sun snuck across the sky, the piles grew and grew. No lunch
200 yards per hour. Hard to keep up!
Steam rises from the pile all the time, all year long.
It looked industrial for a while.
The brown pile is almost done.
8 yards of black on our first delivery in Westport
Four yards to Trumbull
Undyed mulch pile by the road advertising our low low low price- $7 less than ever before. Little rascals-like painted sign- pathetic!
Six yards of brown delivered this week.
This is our own mulch, consisting of pine, hemlock, cedar and hardwood. It is approaching three years old and the color is 100% natural composting (no dye). It has a pH of 7.0 that translates into the perfect pH for your soil as it decomposes. Regularly $35 per yard, but if you pay cash and pick it up yourself (we load you with our machine), there's a $5 per yard discount. Please no teeny tiny pickup trucks.
Hemlock mulch $53 per yard
Black dyed hardwood, dyed red and dyed brown available
This is our delivery truck for bulk mulch and soil. It holds a lot, so let us know what you need and we'll give you a quote for delivery.
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.

You can come in and pick up mulch here by the yard, you can have your landscaper come get it, or you can have us deliver it to your house. We charge normal prices for mulch deliveries plus a delivery charge plus tax. With most mulches we sell we offer a slight discount when you pick it up, and with our "Wakeman Mulch" we usually offer a "Cash Price" (there is still tax on cash sales).
Pictured above is our "Wakeman Mulch" which is 100% natural, undyed, fine particle size made up of pine/hemlock/cedar/hardwood. It has a pH of 7.0 that makes it perfect for gardens and flower beds especially after it decomposes down into more of a "humusy" soil amendment. We offer Wakeman mulch in an aged form also and use this aged mulch as our nursery potting soil as well as an amendment for the "Fluffy garden soil" that we sell. When the aged mulch is added to topsoil during the screening process, the result is a spongy material that roots thrive in. The tiny bits of undecomposed wood mulch continue to be eaten by the microbes which gives the soil LIFE. This biological activity makes relationships between plants and soil more active than anything else you can do for your plants.
