I'm located in Houston and looking to add all new mulch to my front flower beds. Would like to get this done before weather cools down. I have seen diff types of mulch at Lowes and Ace for around $3-$4 per bag (2 cubic ft). I am not sure if these are good brands and/or if that is a good deal.
Any recommendations of good quality mulch at those prices?

Are you doing rubber or real?

I really like the cedar mulch from Austin Wood Recycling at Lowes. Can't recall how much it is per bag, but it doesn't break the bank. I prefer it to the bulk cedar I have bought locally from landscapers.

We used Living Earth here in Dallas and it looks like they have several locations in Houston. Highly recommend them.

I plan on using real mulch. How much per bag is Living Earth ?

Most local nurseries should carry bulk mulch. I paid $25 for an entire truck bed.

I think I paid around $60 to fill up my entire truck bed but I believe they have smaller bags you can buy.

Is that in bags? It runs $25 to fill my longbed up with their front end loader from a local landscape supply place.

If you can buy it by the truck bed at a local landscape supply company, go that route. It's a ton cheaper. As mentioned earlier, they'll dump the bucket of a front end loader (approx. 1 cubic yard) into the back of your truck. Depending on the type you want, prices for a yard will be anywhere from $20 to $40.

It may have been less than $60. Just going off the top of my head.

I always wait for the leaves to fall off the trees before I put down mulch in the fall.

I buy mine in Brenham from the municipal facility. I buy a couple of tons at a time for my garden. IT'S about 20 bucks a ton.

Check it out. Dont get screwed and over think this. It's mulch . For me, one ton fills about 5x8x3 feet in a trailer.

If you have a truck buy bulk from Living Earth.

I hated messing with the bagged stuff.
