Denton is a college town of about 150,000 people at the northern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and its yards range from older neighborhoods near the square to newer subdivisions with bare builder-grade beds. Summers are hot and soil tends to dry out and crack, so a mulch layer pays off quickly. For the statewide view, visit Mulch in Texas.

Mulch delivery for Denton yards

Mulch comes in brown, black and red, and the choice mostly comes down to the look you want against your siding, brick and plantings. Dark shades make green foliage stand out, while red and brown read warmer next to stone and light-colored houses. All three do the same practical work: they shade the soil, cut down on watering and keep weeds from getting a foothold.

Because the load is delivered rather than bagged, you skip dozens of trips from the store and the plastic that comes with them. One pile in the driveway covers a whole front yard, and a wheelbarrow does the rest.

Sizing the order

Here is the arithmetic. Take the bed length and width in feet, multiply by the depth you want in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Say a Denton backyard has 60 square feet of garden beds on each side of a patio, 120 square feet in all. At 3 inches deep that is 360 divided by 324, so a little over 1 cubic yard. That falls below the minimum, so you would either add a tree ring or two, or simply take 2 cubic yards and spread it a bit thicker.

The mulch calculator handles curved and irregular beds if you would rather not do the math by hand. For new beds, build in a little extra, because the first layer settles and thins as it weathers.

Good places to put it

• Tree rings under shade trees, where grass struggles and mulch holds moisture.
• New foundation plantings, where bare soil bakes in the afternoon sun.
• Vegetable plots and raised beds, to hold in water between waterings.
• Slopes and drainage swales, where a thick layer slows runoff.

Pair it with soil and stone

Beds that have been scraped bare often need fresh soil before mulch goes down. Look at topsoil in Denton, which is measured in tons. For walkways, drainage strips and bed borders, Pea Gravel is a clean, small stone that is easy to rake, and River Rock gives a heavier, rounder look around downspouts. Those two are measured in tons.

How the price works

Denton lots vary a lot, so the same order can stretch across one big yard or several small ones.

The figure you see is the delivered price for your ZIP, not a starting price with extras. Larger orders earn a lower rate per cubic yard, so a bigger job or a shared load with a neighbor can bring the cost per yard down. Choose your color, set the quantity and place the order online.

About Mulch

Mulch is a loose covering spread over garden soil to keep moisture in, hold weeds back and moderate the swings in soil temperature. In Denton it is sold by the cubic yard, and the smallest order is 2 cubic yards.

The material is made from shredded or ground wood, and it is available in brown, black and red. Color is cosmetic, so pick the one you like against your house and plants. Over a season the layer breaks down and adds a modest amount of organic matter to the soil underneath.

For Denton mulch, a depth of 2 to 3 inches suits most beds. Pull it back from trunks and from the base of the house so the bark and siding stay dry. Refresh the top inch once a year or so as the old layer fades and thins.

Mulch is a surface cover, not a growing medium. For poor or compacted soil, add topsoil first and then finish the bed with mulch.
