Mulch Delivery

Mulch is the finishing layer — the product that takes a landscaping project from "we put some plants in" to "this looks like someone made intentional decisions." NotDuneVision sources double-ground hardwood mulch from Indiana timber operations and offers it in natural and dyed colors to match your aesthetic preferences, your HOA requirements, or whatever your neighbor just put in their yard.

We double-grind all of our hardwood mulch, which produces a consistent texture that spreads evenly, stays in place reasonably well, and decomposes into your soil over the course of a season or two, adding organic matter and improving structure. It also smells excellent immediately after delivery. We consider this a feature, not a coincidence.

Mulch delivery is one of the few NotDuneVision services where the Stick is genuinely indispensable — depth verification in mulch beds requires exactly the kind of precise tactile measurement that only a good stick can provide.

Mulch Types Available

• Natural Hardwood — Double-ground shredded hardwood in its natural brown/tan color. Weathers to a grey over time. The honest, unpretentious choice. Mitchell's personal preference.
• Black Dyed — Hardwood mulch with a colorfast black dye. High contrast against green plantings, very popular for modern landscapes. Holds color well through the season.
• Brown Dyed — Hardwood mulch with a rich brown dye that approximates the fresh appearance of natural mulch indefinitely. A reliable, classic choice.
• Red Dyed — Hardwood mulch with a red iron oxide dye. Bold color for high-visibility landscape beds. A statement. The Stick does not have opinions about color but we assume it is fine with red.

Common Applications

• Landscape bed mulching and refreshing

How Much Mulch Do You Need?

Apply mulch at 2–3 inches deep for weed suppression and moisture retention. Do not pile it against plant stems or tree trunks — this causes rot and is called "volcano mulching," which sounds dramatic because it is a genuine problem. One cubic yard covers approximately 108 square feet at 3 inches deep. The Stick can verify depth on Tier 02 and Tier 03 deliveries, which is one of his primary responsibilities and something he takes very seriously.
