In most cases there is a 3 yard minimum for bulk mulch deliveries.
Yes. 1 yard minimum.
Bulk material is measured by the cubic yard. Often simplified to "yard".
Planting
Dig a hole two times wider than the root ball and taper the sides of the hole. DO NOT dig the hole any deeper than 2/3 of the root ball. This is to eliminate any settling that may occur. If the site has poor drainage, widen the hole slightly and leave an undisturbed mound of soil in the center large enough to support the root ball. If the ground is a heavy clay soil, the top surface of the root ball should be 2-4 inches (if a tree, up to 1/3 of the root ball) above ground level. If the plants are installed into a raised bed, the top of the root ball should be level with the top surface of the soil in the bed.
If the ground is a heavy clay soil, the top surface of the root ball should be 2-4" (if a tree, up to 1/3 of the root ball) above ground level. If the plants are installed into a raised bed, the top of the root ball should be level with the top surface of the soil in the bed.
Apply 2" of mulch over the planting area, keeping the mulch 2-3" away from the stem base of the plant.
When staking a tree, place the stake tightly against the side of the root ball. Slightly angle the stake away from the tree. Drive the stake 18-24" into the undisturbed soil at the bottom of the root ball. Not into the root ball. Use approximately 5 ft. of poly lock per stake as your tie down.
A deciduous plant is a tree or shrub that loses its leaves as it goes dormant for the winter, conversely an evergreen tree or shrub is a plant that retains its foliage all winter.
Plant Watering
Evergreen shrubs and trees and any large trees should be watered every 2-3 days for the entire season. Leafy plants such as Spiraea, Potentilla, or Variegated Japanese Willow require watering every day for the first month, then every 2-3 days thereafter.
No. Newly planted material requires more water than established ones.
Usually a sprinkler system does not effectively penetrate the root system of a plant and should not be relied upon as an effective watering tool for newly planted material. The open end of a hose with a steady flow works the best.
Most likely, yes you will still need to water. Rainfall is insufficient for most new plants unless the total amount is greater than 1/2".
Apply the water directly over the plant's root system until a puddle forms around the base of the plant. This will ensure proper and thorough watering. You may have to repeat this step 2 to 3 times each time you water.
Lawns / Grass Seed
It varies based on the type of grass seed that is being used. Trio Mix= approximately 5lbs per 1,000 square feet Shady Mix = approximately 4lbs per 1,000 square feet Cornell Mix = approximately 3lbs per 1,000 square feet
Approximately 3 to 4 lbs per 1,000 square feet
