Mulch Information

Why Leaves?

Our mulch is made using leaf compost, which helps it develop a rich, natural color.

Recycled Considerations

Because some mulch is made from recycled wood, you may find occasional glass chips, plastic, or other debris. This is a normal part of the recycling process.

* Dyed Mulch Information

Precautions

Handle dyed mulch like you would wet paint. Avoid staining hands and clothing.

Time To Dry

Allow dyed mulch to dry for at least 48 hours after spreading to prevent discoloration.

Long Lasting

Dyed mulch may take a little more TLC at first but the color will look great throughout the whole season.​

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Mulch

Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature, and improve the overall look of your landscape. As it breaks down, natural mulch also adds organic matter to your soil.

We’ve been helping neighbors with their landscaping needs for over 100 years. Just give us a call at  908-359-5173 and we’ll be happy to help.

The ideal time to mulch is in the spring after the soil has warmed but before the summer heat sets in. Fall mulching is also popular to protect roots over winter and reduce frost heaving.

Most homeowners mulch once a year in the spring. If the mulch has thinned or faded over time, you can top it off mid-season to maintain its appearance and effectiveness.

You can calculate your mulch requirements based on the size of the area and the desired depth of mulch coverage. For example: 

  • For 2″ depth: 1 yard covers about 162 square feet
  • For 3″ depth: 1 yard covers about 108 square feet
  • For 4″ depth: 1 yard covers about 81 square feet

Feel free call us at  908-359-5173 and we can help you determine the right amount for your project.

Apply mulch in a 2–3 inch layer, keeping it a few inches away from tree trunks, plant stems, and your home’s foundation to prevent rot and discourage pests.

Use a rake to spread it evenly, and refresh or top it off each year as needed to maintain appearance and effectiveness.

Avoid piling it high like a “volcano” around trees—this can cause serious health issues for the plant.

Yes! We work with local suppliers to provide high-quality mulch that’s perfect for Hillsborough and the surrounding areas.

Yes!. Store coupons can be used on bagged mulch purchases, however the volume discount will not apply.

While mulch can provide shelter for insects, it’s not a direct attractant. Avoid piling mulch too high against your home’s foundation, and you’ll minimize any concerns.
