Get matched with top mulch and topsoil pros in Meadview, AZ

If you have a large area of brush and vegetation to clear, forestry mulching may be the best option. This method works well for relatively flat areas that don’t have many large rocks or mature trees to clear. Forestry mulching is a relatively quick process that improves soil health, reduces fire risk, and leaves behind usable mulch.

There are a few ways you can reduce the cost of mulch delivery, including the following:

• Place your order in the winter months for spring delivery

• Choose a more affordable mulch color

• Opt for a more affordable type of mulch

• Place larger orders to get a lower cost per cubic foot

• Opt to lay your own mulch to save on installation costs

• Add on other delivery or landscaping services to save on travel costs

• Prepare a single delivery site in the front of your property, and use a wheelbarrow to move smaller quantities 

If you’re using crushed stone or gravel as a base material, then yes, you should compact it to prevent movement of the top layers. For instance, if you don’t compact crushed stone or gravel and you lay pavers on top of them, the pavers will shift over time. However, if you’re using gravel or crushed stone as a top layer for aesthetic purposes, you might not want to compact the materials.

Yes, and in many cases, you should. Large gravel works best as a base layer because it improves drainage and keeps the surface stable. A top layer of smaller gravel fills in gaps and creates a smoother, more compacted surface. This combination is common in driveways and high-traffic areas where both stability and comfort matter.
