Use our mulch calculator to calculate necessary yardage. 1 yard of mulch covers approximately 100 sq. Premium Hardwood Mulch is a triple processed oak blend. This mulch is cocoa brown in color and does extremely well with keeping down the weeds due to its heavy weight. It is consistently the landscapers favorite.
It is a special protective coating that keeps the grass seed moist during the germination process. Grass seed that is coated is a more expensive but is more forgiving if you have a challenge keeping the seed moist. It provides about half the amount of coverage as uncoated seed per pound. However, it does have a better germination rate.
Organic simply means without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage, genetically modified ingredients or ionized radiation. If you are looking for pesticide free topsoil you need to find a supplier that knows if pesticides have been applied and has the certificate to proof it. That can be very difficult and expensive.

You have to explain to them very slow what you need and need to be there the whole time especially with delivery. I told them to deliver rocks that I ordered to be put at the end of the driveway by the garage. Driver put half on the dirt/mulch area and half on the driveway which made the job more difficult. Also, told them no receipt was needed because they called me on the way to deliver rocks when I told them to give me an hour notice so I could be there for delivery to make sure rocks will be dumped where I wanted them dumoed.
Then the driver gave " my customer " the receipt since they called me on the way to deliver rocks and I wouldn't make it on time for the delivery. I have a Hispanic name and owner was Caucasian when I said no receipt since I would not be there for delivery. Never have I had to go through this the whole time I have been landscaping. Other companies have always follow my directions when it came time to deliver. It was my 1st time using them and my last time!

I've used Behrens for all sorts of landscape materials ever since they opened. When they decided to offer salt supply in the winter months that's when they really started going beyond the call of SERVICE. He answers his cell phone for middle of the night loading, he has scaled buckets which allows you to pay for what you are actually getting. This year with all the salt work that has been done Mike and his family have gone beyond the call to supply their customers with the best service and product available. Mike takes pride in making sure his regular customers have what they need to do their job. MIKE THANK YOU!

Our family owned business had bought materials like top soil, river rock, grade 8 gravel when ever we are doing a job in the area during summer time. I went one time during the late night hours to load salt this week and they where very professional loading and everything. Went again yesterday and my father got off the truck and went in the office.
He told me the lady at the front office was very rude and unprofessional. We went to the back to load some salt and an older mantold me he wasn't selling me anything because he was saving it for his regular customers. With out asking our company name or any details. We told him we have bought salt and other materials before and he went and said he didn't cared. I can assure you that yesterday was the last time I would buy from them. I would rather make a longer trip than buying from a discriminating company.
