Saunders Landscape Supply

It’s up to you. Most of the time, especially for driveways, we recommend against it. The best thing to do is excavate, get the ground level, and use 57 Bluestone, which lets water flow through. If you have a weed barrier, that keeps water from going through. If you have a small path or decorative feature, then, by all means, use plastic.

You can, but it may grow through. We recommend leveling the ground and then laying the gravel. At a minimum, you should spray to kill the grass.

It depends on the size. Different types of gravel sit differently and cover the ground differently. You can get a good idea of how much a ton will cover by clicking on the type of gravel you need and using the Material Calculator.

Mulch must be installed and kept moisture free for 24-36 hours (moisture can be in the form of automatic watering devices or inclement weather such as rain or snow). For ideal results, it is recommended that the mulch be installed on bright, sunny days with no forecast of rain. Saunders Landscape Supply is not responsible for mulch that fades or washes out due to exposure to excessive water. NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES WILL BE PERMITTED.

Do not water the mulch for at least 48 hours after it has been laid. It needs time to cure. After that, you can water all you want.

It’s up to you. It’s a personal preference thing. If you lay the mulch thick enough, that’s typically enough of a weed barrier. The plastic some people put under mulch can be perforated by weeds.

It’s a natural product with no chemicals added. Even the dye in the colored mulch is safe for children and pets.

There are a lot of factors at play. First, it’s meant to decompose. It works it’s way into the soil. It will have to be replaced. Weather leads to increased decomposition, as does spreading. There are too many variables to say.

Generally no. All of our products are bulk, and bulk is typically the more cost-effective option. Ultimately, the non-bagged product is fresher and more vibrant as well.

Pieces are already split and cut to a length of 16 -20″ inches.

It takes firewood approximately 90 days to season before it burns optimally. Most firewood we deliver has been seasoned between 8 and 9 months.

You will need one cubic yard for every 108 square feet to be covered. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard ( 3 feet tall, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep). Please use our handy calculator which may be found on each and every page on this website.

Please see the photo section on our website for pictures of the various products offered for delivery.

Deliveries can generally be made the same day or next day. An exception to this may be during the Spring or for deliveries made on Fridays. You may wish to place your order several days in advance for these time frames.

Saunders commits to the day of delivery, but not a time or time frame. There are many variables which make up the routing schedule, including but not limited to the location, product type, and traffic. Rather than attempt to make a commitment that Saunders is unable to keep, Saunders commits only to the delivery date. However, our drivers will give you a courtesy call 30 minutes in advance.

Payment is due at the time of delivery.
