Friday, September 22, 2017; Mulch Applied

This morning five cubic yards of brown dyed mulch was delivered. Morgan spread out a tarp in front of the house to facilitate cleanup. The mulch arrived around 11:00 am.

Rodrigo and Morgan began moving the mulch to the backyard and I spread it around. It took just over an hour for the three of us to finish. I may have a little more redistribution to do, but it looks much better. I also might have opted to have six or even seven cubic yards brought in. I don't think the five I got this time will average out to the 3" depth I was shooting for. I may have more brought in later in the Fall.

Tuesday, September 19, 2017: Mulch

We have not applied new mulch since the original landscaping in 2015/2016. I talked with John several months ago about getting some more and he said he would take care of that. Having not heard anything since (not really surprised), I sent John a note a couple of weeks ago. He responded quickly and said he would take care of this and give me a call the following week. Late last week, after not hearing anything (not really surprised), I sent him another note. He did not respond to that note at all.

Morgan, suggested that he could contact Tyler and see where he gets his mulch. Tyler has mulch bulked delivered periodically and he spreads it himself. Morgan said he thought he could get Rodrigo (one of John's people) to provide some wheelbarrows and help us spread the mulch.

Today, Morgan sent me a note saying Tyler orders mulch from Brentwood Material for about $30/cubic yard plus a $75 delivery charge. According to my posting on November 3, 2015, the mulch we have is a dyed brown or chocolate. I called Brentwood today and ordered five cubic yards. This should cover about 540 sq feet with a 3" depth. It will be delivered between 10:00 and noon on Friday. Morgan said he contacted Rodrigo and he will be here after noon on Friday. Weather forecast is for a sunny day on Friday with a high of 93F and only a 10% chance of rain.
