Jeff's Free Advice and Mulch Tips

"More than a Nickel's worth of Free Advice!" (Just Barely)

Sharp Shooter Shovel Edging

Before installing or having your mulch delivered, make sure to weed anbd clean out your beds of debris and when able, use a shovel to spade edge or shovel edge your beds. This will also help the mulch stay in the beds.

Pre-Emergent Weed Fertilizers 

Be more aggressive with the weed control by adding some granular pre-emergent fertilizer like Preen or equivalent before adding the mulch.  

Add About 3” of Mulch

To help block out the sun while also not having too much mulch, we normally recommend installing about 3” of mulch

-Customers think we are gone forever when paying by the man hour and confused about delivery time

-we may need to make 2-3 trips some times

-we may order too much mulch on the trailer 

-we may order not enough mulch on the trailer and need another trip

Delivered Mulch Plus Factors

Delivered Mulch Negative Factors

-we may order not enough mulch and need another trip

Other factors

-Jeff Baker & Sons can fit about 9 yards of mulch on the trailer
