Mulch FAQs

What’s the difference between Mini and Large Pine Bark Nuggets?

Mini nuggets are medium-sized and ideal for slopes, tree rings, and shrub beds. Large nuggets are chunkier and decompose more slowly — perfect for decorative beds and erosion control. See Mini Nuggets FAQ or See Large Nuggets FAQ.

How deep should I apply mulch?

Use 2–3 inches for flower beds and 3–5 inches for trees and slopes. One cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches deep.

Do pine bark nuggets have a scent?

Yes — they give off a fresh pine aroma that adds a natural touch to your landscape, especially after rain or installation.

Is mulch safe for pets and kids?

Yes. Yard Works mulches are all-natural or dyed with non-toxic colorants. They’re safe around gardens and pets, but dogs should be discouraged from chewing large pieces.
