Most mulch delivery companies will provide a free estimate for the delivery based on how many cubic yards you need and any additional services you want. Be sure you know how much mulch you need before calling and asking for quotes.
There are a few ways you can reduce the cost of mulch delivery, including the following:
Place your order in the winter months for spring delivery
Choose a more affordable mulch color
Opt for a more affordable type of mulch
Place larger orders to get a lower cost per cubic foot
Opt to lay your own mulch to save on installation costs
Add on other delivery or landscaping services to save on travel costs
Prepare a single delivery site in the front of your property, and use a wheelbarrow to move smaller quantities
When you purchase mulch for delivery, it’s usually by the cubic yard, so you’ll want to convert your space to cubic yards to get the right amount. First, determine the square footage of the area you want to cover, and then determine how deep the bed of mulch will be—a good rule of thumb is around three inches. Multiply your square footage in feet by the depth in inches and divide by 324. You may want to add a ½ to one additional cubic yard to ensure you have enough.
Mulch can increase the aesthetic and curb appeal of your property, and it provides a ton of benefits for your trees, shrubs, and even your foundation. Here are some of the benefits of installing mulch:
Protects your trees from weed whacker strikes
Helps regulate moisture in the soil for better plant and tree health
Can improve your home’s curb appeal and, therefore, your property value
Reduces how much runoff soaks into the soil around your foundation, potentially reducing the risk of foundation damage and leaking
Mulch is made from natural materials, which will break down and add nutrients to your soil for better plant and soil health, so removing old mulch is unnecessary before putting down new mulch. However, if you live in a particularly moist area, it’s possible that the old mulch will harbor fungus or mold, which can hurt plant health. If you notice these issues, you might want to consider removing the old mulch first. Otherwise, save time and money by placing new mulch right over the old mulch.
