As a part of a much larger project I spread 10 yards of mulch. Find out how long it took me as well how these landscaping projects are going.
In the video you can see 10 yards of “classic” “triple shred” mulch. Every mulch place offers something different. Depending on the sale the cost of this mulch is from $17 to $25 per yard. In my area this is about as cheap as it gets. It contains a ton of organic material. For some this is not what you want as it will break down faster but for me this is exactly what I need in my new landscaped area. At the end of the video you will see the start of the much larger project that I am working on.

Why didn't you, or whoever dropped off the mulch, dump it in that dirt area?
I just did 16 yards myself. Can’t touch this
Dude you have no plants in your mulch home slice
Great video, thanks for sharing – esp for some of us DIY challenged folks lol
Couple of ideas you asked for:
Up front near the house, a combo of hostas, iris, & maybe some daylily would look great & add some height variation as well as depth.
Near the road: forsythia is a beautiful, not-TOO-tall bush that would add privacy too.
Good luck & I'm continuing to watch!
You realise you could have just had the mulch dumped there and spread it out?
I'm a professional Horticulturalist trained by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Plants for front of house; Cottinus, Ceanothus, Stipa, Cornus, echinacea, Hydrangea, Phormiums and Cordyline.
Plants for privacy; Berberis Thunbergii, Prunus Spinosa, Coniferus trees, Lelandyii or Laurus (Laurels)
Man my property has 30 yards of mulch I have a small tractor to help me move it but before I got that I was a nightmare
Tell us about your cars. Car history… Please and thanks
Dude you have to put some deeper edging on that and feather the mulch down.. Just looks like a mound of mulch… Sticking up 2 inches off the grass line at the edges. Edge and feather… Edge and featherrrrrr lol
Dwarf Burning Bush
I had to pull all the mulch from our house, and after researching I found that the water held in by the mulch WILL drain down to the foundation. We've had foundation issues in the past and didn't want to chance it. Just thought I'd pass that along.
I know this video is over a year old but my suggestion for planting would be just some sparse but healthy and big hibiscus plants red and yellow
Perennial flowers, and annuals.
Sorry but that does NOT look like 10 yards of mulch. U might be getting shorted or this video isn’t exactly true
For privacy I would love to see a bit more color. Hibiscus, pride of Barbados, mexican bird of paradise etc. bring in some pollinators
Had to subscribe. I’m in the UK so our gardens aren’t as big but these are are good practical projects
How much did you charge I just got a sum of 10 yards
Miscanthus giant grass is a great natural barrier. Great job!!
When using mulch you have to absolutely make sure it's redwood, otherwise you will invite dampwood termites to your home, and they can wreak havoc!
I use a lawn tractor and dump trailer. I put down 20 yards of mulch each spring. Lots of landscaping.
Thanks man I was trying to see if I needed to hire someone to help on 10 yrds
the only issue i see is that u will loose the mulch with the first heavy rain…good luck…
Locate an English Laurel
Hi, is it necessary to remove the grass before placing mulch? I would like to cover up my backyard with mulch, but wondering if i should simply place over the grass..
