Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should mulch be?
Apply 2-3 inches for flower beds and 3-4 inches around trees and shrubs. Too much mulch can suffocate plant roots and cause rot.
How many bags of mulch do I need?
A 2 cubic foot bag covers about 8 square feet at 3 inches deep. For 100 square feet, you need approximately 13 bags.
How often should I replace mulch?
Add a fresh 1-2 inch layer annually. Organic mulch decomposes over time, enriching soil but needing replenishment each spring.
