Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Ensure clear delivery pathways, remove obstacles, and prepare to cover surfaces to protect landscaping areas. Coordinating with the provider for an estimated arrival prepares punctuality.

Topsoil provides plants with essential nutrients, water, and air for healthy root growth. It offers a rich ecosystem of microorganisms that improve soil quality and structure. For existing lawns, ¼ inch of topdressing can enhance root growth and support new seed. For gardens, two inches of topsoil can promote strong growth and crops.

How tall your mulch should be around your tree depends on the type of mulch you use, but aim for 3 to 4 inches as a rule of thumb. You’ll want to avoid simply piling it up in hopes of offering additional benefits to your tree. Volcano mulching is the infamous term for piling way too much mulch against the stem of your tree. This could actually kill your tree or severely harm it, as your tree trunk needs space to breathe without too much moisture.

Gravel’s biggest pro is its cost-effectiveness. For example, a gravel road or driveway is much more affordable than its asphalt counterpart. Gravel is also much less expensive than the cost of pouring a concrete slab if you’re building a patio or similar structure.

However, regarding comfort and convenience, gravel is far less foot-friendly than smoother substances like concrete or asphalt. It’s also more of a challenge to drive on and may kick up dust, resulting in the inevitable need for extra car washes. Lastly, there’s a chance it might move with rain or snow.

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
