Mulch delivery in Eagle Mountain, UT for a new yard

The city has about 60,000 residents, and a large share of them moved into recently built homes with blank lots. Builders usually leave rough grade and little else, so the first season is about getting plants established. Mulch helps in three ways: it holds moisture around young roots, it keeps wind from drying out the surface, and it covers the soil where weeds would otherwise take over.

• Fresh shrub and perennial beds along the front of the house.
• Young trees in lawns, each with a wide ring kept clear of the trunk.
• Side yards and utility corridors that you want tidy without turf.
• Vegetable and flower gardens that need walkable paths.

Colors and what they do

You can order brown, black or red. Black looks sharp against the light stucco and concrete common on new construction. Brown is the safest everyday choice and fades gently over a season. Red shows up well along a long front border. All three weigh about 800 pounds per cubic yard, so you can plan your hauling and spreading around that.

How many cubic yards to order

Start with each bed's length and width in feet, then choose a depth in inches. In Eagle Mountain, multiply the three numbers for each mulch bed and divide by 324 to get cubic yards. For example, a 30 by 10 foot front bed at 3 inches deep needs about 2.8 cubic yards. New yards usually have several beds, so total them all before ordering.

Mulch orders in Eagle Mountain start at 2 cubic yards. If you would like a quick check, the calculator will do the same sums for beds of any shape. Open ground in this part of Utah can be breezy, so keep your depth at 3 inches rather than going thin.

Price and ordering at a glance

Mulch is sold by the cubic yard. The delivered price is worked out live for your ZIP and shown on the page, and larger orders get a lower rate per cubic yard. That is useful when you are doing the whole lot at once instead of one bed a weekend.

A blank lot often needs more than mulch. Beds that start as hard-packed fill do better with topsoil in Eagle Mountain worked in first, and it is sold by the ton.

Spreading it right

Many new homeowners here do the work over a couple of weekends, so a single pile on the driveway is handy. Spread one bed at a time, starting with the ones farthest from the pile, and leave the nearest for last. A flat-edged shovel and a wide rake make quick work of it, and a tarp under the pile keeps the concrete clean.

Pull the first weeds, then lay the mulch 2 to 3 inches deep and rake it level. For mulch laid in Eagle Mountain beds, leave a small gap around stems so they can breathe. After a windy week, check thin spots and fill them in. Water lightly once the pile is down to settle it into place.

About Mulch

Mulch is shredded wood or bark spread on top of soil to keep moisture in, hold weeds back and give a bed a finished edge. We sell it by the cubic yard, and a cubic yard weighs about 800 pounds. Colors offered are brown, black and red. Over time the mulch breaks down and adds organic matter to the soil below, which is why most beds need a fresh layer every year or two. It is a surface material, so it goes on after planting rather than being mixed into the ground.
