Answer
Do I need to remove old mulch first?
Not typically. Just rake the existing layer to loosen it, then top up. Remove only if you see mold or excessive depth.
Answer
How is delivery priced?
Distance determines delivery cost. Cart shows an estimate; checkout with your address reveals the actual fee.
Answer
Dyed vs natural mulch—which is better?
Each has merits. Dyed keeps its look 6–12 months; natural fades faster but enriches the soil. Rock Hill's humid subtropical conditions speed natural breakdown.
Answer
Is dyed mulch safe for vegetable gardens?
Dyed mulch is generally safe now—dyes are non-toxic. For extra peace of mind, reserve natural mulch for vegetable gardens.
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.
Answer
Why is my mulch moldy?
Wet conditions cause surface mold. Rake the affected area for better air circulation. Common in Rock Hill after heavy rain periods.
Answer
Can I mulch around trees?
Definitely, just skip the volcano pile against bark. Create a wide ring 2–4 inches deep with a gap around the trunk.
