Where mulch earns its keep in Homestead yards

South Florida sun bakes bare soil quickly. A layer of mulch holds moisture around palms, fruit trees, hedges and perennial beds, and it slows weeds that would otherwise take over after the first summer storm. Heavy rain is common, so a coarse, well-shredded product stays in place better than fine material that floats and washes toward the street.

• Tree rings and fruit trees: keep mulch a few inches back from the trunk so the bark stays dry.
• Foundation beds: a tidy border in brown, black or red frames the house and cuts down on splash-back during storms.
• Vegetable and herb plots: mix a fresh layer over the paths and between rows to hold water.
• New builds: developers and small landscapers use it to finish lots quickly before handover.

We carry mulch in brown, black and red. Pick the color by the look you want, since all three do the same job under the sun.

Sizing your order in cubic yards

Measure the bed in feet, then work out the depth in inches. Multiply length by width by depth, and divide the total by 324 to get cubic yards. A 30 by 10 foot border at 3 inches deep works out to roughly 2.8 cubic yards, for example. Round up a little to cover uneven ground and settling.

If you would rather skip the arithmetic, enter your measurements in the calculator and it returns the quantity for you. One cubic yard of mulch weighs about 800 pounds, which is useful when you plan where the truck can tip the load.

A depth of 2 to 3 inches suits most beds here. Go thicker around trees only if the ground drains well, because soggy mulch sitting against stems can cause rot in wet months.

How ordering and the delivered price work

You enter your ZIP, pick a quantity and see the delivered price right away. Larger orders get a lower rate per cubic yard, so one bigger load usually beats two small ones when your beds can take it. Homestead orders start at 2 cubic yards.

Tips before the truck arrives

Clear a spot near the curb or driveway where the load can be placed, and keep it off the street and away from storm drains. Lay landscape fabric first if weeds are a problem, though thick mulch alone often does the job. Spread the pile on a dry day, rake it level and water it lightly to settle it in place.

About Mulch

Mulch is a shredded wood or bark covering spread over the soil surface in garden beds, around trees and along borders. It cools the ground, holds in moisture, suppresses weeds and gives beds a finished look. We offer it in brown, black and red, so you can match the color to your house and plants.

In Homestead, where sun and downpours both take a toll on bare ground, a 2 to 3 inch layer is the usual choice. Homestead mulch is measured by the cubic yard, and each cubic yard weighs about 800 pounds. Homestead orders open at 2 cubic yards. The delivered price appears for your ZIP on the page, and larger orders get a lower rate per cubic yard. As the layer breaks down over time, it feeds the soil, and you can top it up each year to keep the depth where you want it.
