Not sure which mulch? A quick guide
Premium hardwood is the landscaper’s pick: triple-processed oak, heavy, cocoa brown, excellent weed control. Basic hardwood is the everyday value. Dyed mulches hold their color longest; lay a tarp, because the dye stains concrete for a while. Cedar deters insects and breaks down slowest. Play mulch meets ASTM playground standards. Eco mulch, arbor chips and every photo are on the products page. Prices are before tax.
Dumped in your driveway. No hauling, no loading.
We run our own dump trucks for mulch, stone, topsoil and sand delivery across a 15-mile radius of Deer Park. Order online or call it in, and most loads land within one to three days.
“Local, affordable, timely, accurate! Had 3 tons of sand dropped in a tight spot on a small tarp — right on the money.”
- Where does the pile go?
- On your driveway or another paved surface, in one loose pile, as close to the project as the truck can safely reach. Trucks stay off grass, gravel and backyards.
- How do I mark the spot?
- A tarp or a chalk square where you want it. Under dyed mulch the tarp pays for itself: the dye stains concrete for a while and needs 24 hours to dry.
- Do I need to be home?
- No. Keep the driveway clear; if the spot isn’t marked, the driver picks a safe one. Everything else is in the delivery prep guide.
