We have landscaped 11 cubic yards of mulch in the past three weeks. That’s three heaping pickup truck loads and one not heaping load. Most of the mulch has gone on the west and north sides of the house where we re-landscaped. But we have mulched between the peonies and the roadside fence; the holly [...] As the next phase in our home remodeling we are landscaping around the house, attachment and garage.
