FAQ’s

A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. Imagine a box 3 feet wide, 3 feet long, and 3 feet high. The area inside that box is 1 cubic yard. It is the standard measurement that The Yard LLC uses for selling bulk landscaping materials.

Mulch keeps the soil cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter providing better growing conditions for your plants. Mulches reduce the growth of weeds, when the mulch is weed-free and applied deeply enough to prevent weed germination. Organic mulches can also improve the soil structure. Decaying mulch also adds nutrients to the soil.

No, the idea that mulch attracts insects is a myth.

Dumping of materials on a lawn will call for certain circumstances. Weeks without rain are normally required to dry the lawn enough to support the weight of our trucks. If our driver thinks that the lawn will not be able to handle the truck, the material must be dumped in a designated location such as a driveway or other paved area. We are not responsible for any damages that may occur to your lawn or our truck when attempting to dump upon your request.

It would take 13.5 bags of 2 cubic feet mulch to equal 1 cubic yard or 9 bags of 3 cubic feet mulch to equal 1 cubic yard.

Please note that dyed mulch sometimes needs 24 hours to cure, with no rain, after you install. Up until that point, colorants can fade. It’s usually recommended that you work with freshly dyed mulches on a dry day, when no rain is forecasted. Should it rain before it has cured, you may lose some of the color.
