Common questions
How deep should I mulch?
Most NJ landscape beds look best and retain moisture well at 2–3 inches. Avoid going deeper than 4 inches or piling against trunks.
How many bags equal one cubic yard?
There are 13.5 standard 2-cubic-foot bags in one cubic yard. For beds larger than ~1 yard, bulk delivery is usually cheaper than bagged mulch.
When should I mulch in Central Jersey?
Mid-to-late April once the soil has warmed is ideal. A lighter fall top-up in October helps protect roots through winter.
What does professional mulch installation cost?
In Central Jersey, installed mulch typically runs $90–$135 per cubic yard including edging touch-up, weed pull, and clean haul-away.
