How much mulch your Citrus Heights beds need

Start with measurements. Mulch is sold by the cubic yard, and a cubic yard weighs about 800 lb. Take bed length times width in feet, multiply by the depth in inches, and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. A 25 by 8 foot border at 3 inches needs about 1.9, so you would round up to the 2 cubic yard minimum. For bare ground, plan on a 3 inch layer. Several beds at once? Add them together, or run each one through the calculator and total the results.

Good places to use it

Citrus Heights lots often carry large trees and long fence lines, so beds tend to be wide rather than tall. That suits mulch well, because a generous layer covers a lot of ground at once and keeps it looking cared for through the dry months.

• Under mature trees: a wide ring cools the root zone and cuts down on lawn growing up to the trunk.
• Foundation planting: a neat layer finishes the look and stops weeds between shrubs.
• Raised beds and garden rows: mulch between rows keeps the ground from baking.
• Dog runs and side yards: a thick layer is softer underfoot than bare dirt.

Beds that have sunk below the lawn edge can be built back up with topsoil in Citrus Heights before mulching. For a bed that needs better soil, mix in Compost first. A path or drip edge can be filled with Pea Gravel for a firm, clean line against the mulch.

Brown, black or red

All three colors are available. Brown blends in with bark and soil, black makes green plants stand out, and red looks best against light stucco or tan trim. The color does not change how the mulch performs, so choose by eye.

What the price includes

The price shown for your ZIP is a delivered price, so there is no separate math to do at checkout. Citrus Heights orders start at 2 cubic yards. Larger loads get a lower rate per cubic yard, which is worth knowing if a neighbor wants to split a delivery or you are planning several beds across the season.

Nearby areas we also serve

Customers in Rocklin, Folsom and Roseville, each about 8 miles from Citrus Heights, order the same mulch. Rancho Cordova is about 9 miles away and Lincoln about 12. Citrus Heights is part of the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom metro, with about 87,000 residents, and plenty of them are doing the same yard work each spring.

Spreading it well

Dump the pile near the bed, then move it in wheelbarrow loads and rake it level. Work from the back of the bed toward the walkway so you never step on the fresh layer. Trim edges so the mulch has a clean boundary against the lawn. If the bed borders a sprinkler line, check heads are still clear after you finish.

A last tip: water the bed after spreading so the layer settles.

About Mulch

Mulch is a layer of loose, organic material laid over soil to hold in moisture and keep weeds down. Ours is sold by the cubic yard in brown, black and red, and it arrives loose so you can spread it where you need it.

One cubic yard weighs about 800 lb. That makes it easy to handle with a rake and a wheelbarrow, and it covers a decent area: a cubic yard at 3 inches deep spreads over roughly 100 square feet.

As mulch decomposes it adds organic matter to the top of the soil, so beds slowly improve with each refresh. It also moderates soil temperature, which protects shallow roots in summer heat and helps the ground hold water between irrigation cycles. Use it around trees, shrubs, perennials and vegetables, and keep it from piling up against wood siding or bark.
