home and garden landscapingHow long does it take to put down a yard of mulch?
To break it down, 2 cubic yards of mulch would be 18, 3 cubic foot bags of mulch. So, say it takes 5 minutes to put down each 3 cubic foot bag (5 minutes X 18 = 90 minutes)then it would be right at 90 minutes which is 1 1/2 hours.
Thereof, how much do you charge to lay a yard of mulch?
On average, mulch prices range from $15 to $65 per yard, with most spending $18 per yard for bulk delivery. Economy mulch costs $15 to $30 per yard, and colored or hardwood mulch runs $30 to $40 per yard. A yard of mulch covers 110 to 160 square feet based on a depth of 2-3”.
In this regard, what is the fastest way to spread mulch?
Each will make the task of hauling mulch, bags of soil and new plants from one place to another easier. Tip: Dump mulch in lots of small piles throughout the bed, rather than one big pile. Before opening bagged mulch, place the bags through the area, then proceed to open, dump and spread the mulch.
McCarty says one of the questions she gets asked the most is whether it's cheaper to buy mulch by the bag rather than in bulk. "The answer is no. Most bags are 2 cubic feet in size," she says. Customers can save a considerable amount of money by purchasing mulch by the yard, but a mulch delivery fee might apply.
