About Black Shredded Mulch
Black Shredded Mulch is a mulch material with a density around 800 lbs per cubic yard. The color runs black. Spreads to 2 to 3 inches deep for landscape beds. Conserves soil moisture, regulates temperature, suppresses weeds, and breaks down to enrich the soil over time. Replace each spring for best appearance.
Bulk orders are sold by the yard, with full-truck deliveries (16 or more yards) saving 15 to 20 percent off partial-load rates. Tandem-axle trucks haul 10 to 16 yards per load and fit residential streets; tri-axle trucks haul 16 to 24 yards and work better for contractor pours and commercial sites. We deliver same-day in most metros for orders placed before 11 AM, with a two-hour arrival window confirmed the evening before.
Pricing depends on quarry proximity, truckload size, the current diesel rate, and seasonal demand. The cheapest path is always a full truck dropped at a single address. If your project needs more than one load, splitting deliveries across two days costs less than two separate partial loads on the same day. Send your ZIP and dimensions through the contact form for a same-hour quote that includes the delivered total and the lead time on the lane.
After delivery, plan a few hours on the day of the drop to spread or stage the material. A wheelbarrow moves about 2 cubic feet at a time, which makes longer driveways or larger beds a multi-day job by hand. A skid-steer covers ten times that pace and rents for around $200 per day in most markets, often with same-day pickup. If you cannot start work right away, tarping the pile keeps the black shredded mulch dry and intact for up to a week without losing weight or color.

Delivery day in Dallas
A typical Dallas drop is dispatched from the closest yard with a two hour window and a heads-up call once the truck is loaded. Tandem trucks want a 12 ft lane in and out; tri-axles need 14 ft, and both want firm ground at the tipping spot so the load releases cleanly. Standard lead time on this lane is Mon-Sat, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.
