Thought I would make you feel better I am paying $58.00 a yard from Mahoney's with a $25.00 delivery fee and three yard minimum. Oh well, you do what you have to do. kt

OMG! That is high! I do feel better now, although I have to pay $40 for delivery. Because it's just too much for me anymore to spread all the mulch by myself every year, I got only 3 yds this year and will make do.

I just paid $39/yd with a 5 yd minimum from Salt Box Nursery in Billerica. Delivery to the next town was $20. I have used their dark mulch for the last 3 years and am pleased-a nice natural dark dark brown.

I pais $280.00 for 7 yard delivered, but am unhappy with the color. It is reddish, but not the dyed kind. I am used to the really dark brown, but the place where I used to get it closed last year. I don't know if I even want to spread this stuff. It is going to bug me all year!

$30-$34 depending on the place (Rochester, Concord, Epsom, Hooksett, Deerfield areas checked), but there's a place on Rte 28 (somewhere between Salem and Manchester) that's selling it for $19 a yard. I think it was a saw-mill of some sort.

$31 per yard delivered

what kind of mulch are we talking about? Around here they typically offer pine bark, hemlock or a blend and the price varies accordingly with as much as a $10-$20/yd swing.

I haven't called yet for mine.

I used to pay $30/yard but found a place in town with a nice naturally dark brown mulch that is $25/yd with a $35 delivery fee. I'm getting 10 cubic yards.

I haven't even thought about it..I'm so upset by finding termites in mine..I know I have to make a decision soon..but..nothing seems to be growing anyway!

There is a mulch and there is a MULCH.
Could be anything from hardwood, pine, cedar and ...cocoa shells. Could be mostly chips or mostly bark. All of different qualities and will cost differently.
I use premium cedar mulch from the same supplier for the last 5 years and it lasts for up to two years in undisturbed areas. If you dig a lot it disappears in a year.
Last year it was $40/yard delivered, total of 27 yards.

I just paid $30/yard, delivered, from B&R Landscaping (the Elliots) in Stoddard, NH, for those of you in the Monadnock region. They apologized for the price increase. I think I paid $25 a yard a couple of years ago from them, but this is still a pretty good price.

$28/yard, plus a $25 delivery fee, I think the place was in Kensington NH

This note helped me get going and order mine. $35.50/yd and $20/del. Hemlock mulch. She said it was the same price as last year. Same as George, lasts 2 years undisturbed... even 3 on builtup areas really undisturbed.

George: 27 yards? You need more plants!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

I have an area where it started out that high, but I've planted it up to where I am now down to 10 yards there (every 3 years).

Also with that much quantity, it is very hard to know you area really getting as much as you are paying for. I am pretty sure I got shorted some yardage back then. There is some debate over how many yards fit in a dumptruck.

I'll be paying $32.00 per yard and $40.00 for the delivery charge at Marcucios in Derby on ret 34.

Wendy, I was just thinking about that last night after the mulch came-did I really get 10 cubic yards? I tried measuring but it is so inaccurate being in a pile like that. Last year, I needed 1 extra yard, so I brought 6 plastic garbage cans we have and I showed the young guy the calculations that it was almost 1 cubic yard to fill them up. At least I was sure that I got the 0.95 cubic yards I paid for. lxwxh, 27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard, etc, etc. I like using math at home in the garden and revising recipes LOL

I think the scooper that they use to load the truck is considered 1 yd, but is it heaping or level or not quite full?

Wow.. after reading mulch costs in the NE I feel very fortunate to have access to $8 per cubic yard mulch in the Bluegrass. Of course I picked it up myself in my pickup, but the bulk materials vendor here does offer delivery for around the same prices.
