Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

How much mulch do I need?

A yard of mulch handles around 100 square feet when spread 3 inches thick. Calculate your total area, check our sizing tool, and round up.

Answer

Does mulch help with drainage?

Not directly, but it stops crusting that causes runoff. Indianapolis yards benefit from better water infiltration through mulched beds.

Answer

Is mulch safe for pets?

Most mulch is pet-friendly. Avoid cocoa mulch (toxic to dogs) and check for pesticide treatments. Natural hardwood and cedar are safe.

Answer

What type of mulch works best here?

For Indianapolis's silt loam, hardwood mulch is a solid choice. It breaks down to improve structure—helpful when you're dealing with glacial till clay.

Answer

Will mulch wash away on slopes?

On slopes, pick shredded mulch that knits together. Given Indianapolis's 42-inch yearly rainfall, chip mulch will migrate.

Answer

Does mulch prevent weeds?

Mulch reduces weeds significantly but doesn't stop all of them. Three inches blocks enough light to prevent most germination.

Answer

Will mulch attract termites?

Mulch itself doesn't bring termites in, but it provides habitat. Leave a gap between mulch and any wood structures including foundations.
