About mulch
Bulk mulch is shredded bark or wood used to cover garden beds. It suppresses weeds, holds moisture in the soil and evens out soil temperature through a New Brunswick summer.
Types and colours come from local suppliers, so what's on hand varies through the season. Tell us the mulch you want — or just the look you're after — and we'll confirm availability with the supplier when we quote.
Common uses for mulch
- Refreshing garden and foundation beds
- Covering new landscaping installs
- Weed suppression around trees and shrubs
- Pathways through garden areas
Mulch for homeowners and contractors
Small Load Co. delivers mulch to residential properties and to active jobsites. Homeowners generally want a single manageable pile placed somewhere sensible; contractors generally want the material on site without sending someone to the supplier.
- Homeowners refreshing beds in spring
- Gardeners who would otherwise make several trips with bagged mulch
- Landscapers needing a small top-up load mid-project
Typical quantities
- A typical residential bed refresh at 2–3 inches deep: often 1–3 cubic yards
- One cubic yard covers roughly 100 square feet at 3 inches deep
- Use the mulch calculator to size your beds before ordering.
Delivery considerations
- Mulch is bulky but light, so volume rather than weight usually sets the limit.
- We'll place the pile as close to the beds as safe access allows.
- Have a tarp ready if the pile needs to sit on a driveway for a few days.
Is mulch a good fit for a small load?
Yes — mulch is one of the materials small-load delivery exists for. If your project needs less than a full truckload, or your driveway can't take a full-size truck, a small load is usually the practical option.
How much mulch will you need?
Measure the area, then estimate the volume before you order.
Frequently asked questions
- What counts as a small load?
- A small load is anything under 4 tons. In practice that covers most residential and small-jobsite orders: a few cubic yards of bulk material, or a manageable stack of eligible building materials. Because weight is the limit, dense materials such as wet gravel or sand reach 4 tons in fewer yards than light materials such as mulch.
- Do you remove junk or haul away debris?
- No. Small Load Co. is a delivery service, not a junk removal company. We bring materials to your property or jobsite.
