MULCH

Mulch is defined as a layer of material applied to the surface of soil. Mulch can be made of a variety of things, but our mulch is high quality, ground wood materials and is a very environmentally friendly choice. People may choose to use mulch to add curb appeal, reduce weeds, control soil temperature, increase water retention, and more. For proper installation, it is recommended for mulch to be added until a uniform layer is created of at least three inches in depth.

Mulch FAQs

Here are some of our most popular questions regarding mulch. If you don't see an answer to your question below, feel free to contact us.

Why is mulch so important?

Mulch is great for your garden and landscaping. It reduces weeds, helps prevent water evaporation and soil erosion, adds some nutrients, and improves the quality of the soil, making your landscape look attractive and finished.

Is it true that mulch attracts termites?

Termites and other bugs do not eat and are not attracted directly to mulch. However, they are attracted to the warm, sometimes moist environments which can be found underneath the mulch.

How much mulch will I need?

One cubic yard of mulch covers 324 square feet at a depth of one inch. Here is how to determine how much mulch you need: Calculate how many square feet you need to mulch. Take that number times the depth in inches you would like to apply your mulch. Divide the result by 324, and you have the cubic yards of mulch you need to buy to cover the desired area. This is the formula you want: Square footage x desired depth / 324 square feet = total cubic yards required.

It’s probably best to calculate a little high or buy a few extra cubic yards of mulch to ensure you don’t run short. We do have a materials calculator if you would like to use that.
