If I want to place a delivery, what do I need to do? Once my order is placed, what happens then?
- A delivery may be ordered either in store or over the phone. There are several details that will be collected such as; name, address, phone number, date of delivery, form of payment, and what product you wish to receive. Once your order is placed, it will be entered in to our delivery schedule. The driver will give you a confirmation phone call to verify you want your product at the time requested. If the driver receives confirmation, he will load the truck and be on his way shortly after the call. If he does not receive confirmation, the delivery will be delayed until he receives the confirmation. |

What types of mulch do you sell? How do you sell mulch?

|
Will mulch keep weeds from coming up?
- No, it may slow them down, but won't stop them from coming up entirely. Weed prevention products can help prevent weeds from growing. |

How do I know how many cubic yards of mulch I need?
- Measure your area that you need covered in feet. Your length x width x height and then divide by 27. This will get your estimated amount of mulch needed for your area. |

How deep should I go on my mulch?
- We recommend that you apply mulch the first time at least 3" - 4" deep and reapply each year around 3 inches deep. Sometimes it may even be necessary to remove the old wood debris before applying new mulch depending on how long it's been since new mulch has been put down. |

- Yes, we have two main topsoils used for growing grass. The first blend is our Screened Economy (screened brown topsoil). The second blend is our Screened Yard Mix (screened black topsoil). The Yard Mix blend is a higher grade topsoil but both of these products will grow grass efficiently. |
