Bulk Mulch Delivery
We offer 2 kinds of bulk mulch for delivery as well as bulk top soil. Minimum 4 scoops for delivery. Delivery rates are zip code based. We are happy to take orders over that phone with credit card, sorry no COD. Call today to schedule you delivery 454-4000!
One scoop of any of our bulk mulch covers 75-100 Sq. Ft. approximately 2 inches deep. One scoop is equivalent to 10-12 bags of mulch. We offer bulk mulch in 2 varieties: brown hardwood and black hardwood. We also offer bulk topsoil by the scoop.
Before you start mulching we recommend you put down a granular weed control to keep weeds from sprouting. Weed granuals will not harm existing plants they only work on seeds. We recommend weed control granuals instead of weed fabric for all mulch applications except for gravel.
- Brown Hardwood - Our Brown hardwood mulch is our most economical mulch. Chocolate brown it gives a natural look to any landscape.
- Black Hardwood - This mulch is similar to the brown hardwood in texture but its coal black color sets it apart. Died black this mulch really contrasts with colors of plants to give that manicured landscape look.
- Topsoil - Screened clay topsoil is great for filling holes, raising or making beds, leveling lawns and more.
We dump mulches and top soil on paved surfaces we do not drive in or through yards. Dump sites need to be as flat as possible to insure safety of dump. We recommend putting down a tarp where you would like mulch/topsoil dumped to cover it incase you do not get it all put down in one day. Although we have a minimum of 4 scoops for delivery we have they ability to bring up to 8 scoops of topsoil and 12 scoops of mulch. If you need more there will be an additional delivery fee. For anymore questions or to schedule your delivery please call 502-454-4000.
Come Pick it Up.
Don’t need quite the much mulch? If you have a pick-up truck you can pick up the mulch or topsoil yourself. We will gladly load your truck for you. We sell mulch and topsoil by the scoop, sorry we don’t do half scoops.
Plant Installation & Light Landscaping
We understand that not everyone has the time, tools, or means necessary to plant, so we offer landscaping service for items purchased at our location. From individual trees to front foundations our certified staff will install your purchase and go over care instructions to ensure the growth and development of your plants.
For single tree plantings simply come in and we will help you pick out the best tree for your location then we will give you a flag to mark the spot in your yard where the tree is to be planted. Then our experienced staff will come out and plant your tree with all the necessary material to ensure it gets off to a good start. All you will need to do is take care of regular watering (we recommend tree gators) and regular feeding (we recommend plant-tone for most deciduous trees and holly-tone for evergreen trees).
Please keep in mind we specialize in light landscaping and do not get into stone work or large design work. We install foundation plantings purchased from our store as well as making screens or hedges.

Then come in and we will not only help you find the right plants but make sure you get everything else you need to maintain a healthy landscape.
