What mulch does for a Richland property

Richland has roughly 64,000 residents and a mix of established mid-century lots and newer housing. Mature trees and long-planted shrubs benefit from a renewed layer every year or two, because old mulch breaks down and thins out. Fresh mulch smothers weeds, keeps roots cooler in the summer sun, and holds moisture in the soil between waterings.

Richland yards can take mulch in brown, black or red, three colors in all. Looking for ordering specifics for your street? The page for delivery in Richland covers them, and the statewide overview is at Mulch in Washington.

Calculating cubic yards for your beds

Sizing is simple once you know the formula. Multiply the bed's length by its width in feet, multiply again by the layer depth in inches, and divide by 324. Take a front bed 25 feet by 5 feet with a 2 inch top-up: that works out to under a cubic yard, so with the minimum of 2 cubic yards you could dress that bed and a back border in one go. For anything with curves, the calculator is quicker than the pencil.

At about 800 pounds per cubic yard, mulch is manageable with a wheelbarrow and a shovel, even on a big lot.

Good places to spread it

• Established shrub beds: top up an inch or two each spring rather than piling on a new thick layer.
• Around mature trees: a wide ring helps in hot, dry stretches.
• Vegetable patches: mulch the walkways to keep weeds from creeping in.
• Rental and commercial landscapes: an even layer gives a tidy, cared-for appearance.

Combining mulch with other deliveries

If a bed needs rebuilding before it gets mulch, start with topsoil in Richland. Garden paths and edging strips work nicely with Pea Gravel. Mulch is sold by the cubic yard, but those two materials are sold by the ton, so each line in your order has its own unit.

Kennewick and Pasco are each about 8 miles from Richland. If you look after a property in either one, enter that property's ZIP when you order.

Refreshing older beds

Before adding new mulch to a bed that was done a few years ago, rake the old layer to break up any crust. If it is already thick, skip the extra yards and just top up the thin spots. Pull weeds that came through, and cut a fresh edge along the lawn so the new layer has a sharp border.

Small contractors maintaining several Richland properties can plan a single order for all of them. Work out the cubic yards for each site, add them together, and order once, since the rate per cubic yard drops as the order grows. Splitting the load between sites with a shovel and a wheelbarrow is straightforward when the pile is dropped in a central, reachable spot.

Older neighborhoods often have beds that slope toward the sidewalk. A little extra mulch at the low edge keeps the layer from washing out when sprinklers run. After spreading, a light watering helps the pieces settle into place.

Ordering and pricing

The number you see is the delivered price for your ZIP, not an estimate. Larger orders get a lower rate per cubic yard, which favors treating the whole property as one job. A Richland mulch order begins at 2 cubic yards.

1. Select a color and enter your ZIP.
2. Enter the cubic yards you need.
3. Confirm the delivered price and complete the order.

Decide where the pile should go ahead of time, and keep it off any area you need to drive over. A tarp underneath protects pavers and grass.
