Q: Why use mulch?

• <div><p>You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay. </p></div>

Q: Does mulch attract termites?

• <div><p>No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it&rsquo;s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/proactive-tips-avoid-termite-damage-your-home.htm">resist termites</a> because they&rsquo;re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.</p></div>

Q: How much does mulch cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-mulch-delivery-and-install-cost.htm">Mulch costs</a> anywhere from <b>$30 to $150 per cubic yard</b>, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.</p></div>

Q: Will a yard of dirt fit in a pickup?

• <div><p>Yes, a cubic yard of dirt will fit in most standard-size pickup trucks. However, consider the truck&rsquo;s payload as well as the truck bed dimensions before loading it up with dirt. Soil can be quite heavy, and if the total weight of a yard of dirt exceeds your truck&rsquo;s payload capacity, you risk damaging the chassis and suspension.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How much dirt should be around your foundation?

• <div><p>The amount of soil you&rsquo;ll need around your foundation depends on a variety of factors, but in general, you want a 6-inch decline over the first 10 feet extending out from your foundation. How much soil it will take to achieve that will depend on the current grade of the yard, how much foundation is exposed, and the size of your home.</p></div>

Al's Tree Service are real pros. We have a tight drive way and Al's drivers navigate it with no problems. We've had three mulch drops from them and we will not hesitate to get more. The mulch is incredibly clean, no trash in it, I've heard some mulch drops have a lot of trash/plastic with them....

Great service! I had Canada Tree Care come out to trim some trees and cut down a few others over a decade ago, and they did an outstanding job. So when it was time to do it again, even though I had multiple companies come out and give me bids, I decided to go with Canada Tree Care. Mike came out...

The hardscape around the pool was great. Basically, they cemented the existing flagstones instead of having patches of grass and dirt around the pool. If the work stopped there, I would give them an A. Then they removed the brown lawn on the side of the house, created a drip system for the...
