"The good: Jeff responded to my Angi's request within a day. We agreed on a time for him to come to my home to give me an estimate. He came out on time and gave me an estimate of $1175 to weed the landscaped parts of my property and spread 10 cubic yards of pine bark mulch. I've been mulching my own yard for the last decade plus, so I know exactly how much mulch costs. The quoted price was a little higher than what I was anticipating, but not unreasonably high. We scheduled a date for them to come out. The crew arrived on time and worked throughout their 3+ hours here. The not-so-good: Jeff's method of weeding is not to pull up weeds by their roots, but to mow them with his edger. I was not expecting this. So all the weeds are just going to grow back. Jeff also used his edger to mow an area in the backyard that was mostly ground-cover plantings and strawberry plants that we just beginning to form berries. There were also some weeds mixed in that area - I was expecting him to pull up the weeds, but instead he blitzed everything and covered the entire area with mulch. So now we have no strawberries and no ground cover in that area of the yard. I was upset about this and spoke to Jeff. He said that he thought the entire area was weeds and basically blamed me for not pointing out the strawberries and ground-cover plants when he came out to give me an estimate. He is right that I did not point these out at this time, but neither did I point out any of the other plantings that I did not wish to be destroyed (I have a fairly big yard with lots of plantings). The second issue that came up, which I was not expecting, is that about halfway through their time working, Jeff told me that he'd need 15 cubic yards of mulch to finish. As I said, I have been mulching my myself yard for the decade plus I've been living here, and I've always needed between 9 to 11 cubic yards (the number decreases as the ground-cover plantings spread). Last year I ordered and spread 9 cubic yards, but I actually needed 1 cubic yard more. I don't know why Jeff needed 50% more mulch. That increased the total price to $1400."

FAQs for mulch and topsoil service projects in Locust, NC
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, 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.
Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’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.
Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
