    A scoop of mulch typically covers approximately 120 square feet when spread at a depth of approximately 3 inches. Coverage may vary depending on the desired depth and application.

  • Can we tailgate spread gravel?

  • Is your topsoil high quality?

    Indeed, our topsoil is of excellent quality. We screen it carefully to remove debris, ensuring it's easy to rake and spread. For more information about our topsoil, mulch, and other landscaping services, please contact our team.

  • What kind of sand do you have?

    We offer two types of sand: white playground sand and brown river mason sand. To learn more about our sand options, as well as our selection of mulch and boulders, please don't hesitate to contact us.

  • Should I put landscape fabric under rock?

    Under rock, usually yes. A woven, permeable fabric slows weeds and keeps stone from working down into the soil. Skip it under organic mulch, since fabric stops the decomposing material from reaching the soil it is supposed to enrich.

  • What is the best ground cover for a slope?

    Heavier materials stay put best on a slope. Boulders and larger river rock resist washing out, and pine straw knits together better than loose mulch. On steep banks where water runs hard, riprap is the standard choice for erosion control.

  • How long can mulch sit in a pile?

    A few weeks is fine, but sooner is better. A pile left for months can heat up, turn sour, and mat together. If the mulch will sit a while, keep it off the lawn, because grass underneath dies quickly.

  • Is bulk landscape material better than bagged?

    For most projects, yes. Bulk skips the plastic and repeat trips, and one scoop replaces a stack of bags. Out of Eden Bulk Landscape Material loads every order by the scoop in Maryville, TN, so the amount matches your project.

  • What goes under pavers?

    A compacted gravel base goes down first, usually crush and run or a dense-grade stone, followed by a thin, level layer of bedding sand. The paver manufacturer sets the exact depths, and the base does most of the load-bearing work.

  • How much mulch fits in a pickup truck?

    A full-size pickup bed holds approximately 2 to 3 cubic yards of mulch, which lines up with 2 to 3 scoops. Rock and soil weigh far more, so check your payload rating before loading heavier material at our lot.

  • What materials are used in xeriscaping?

    Xeriscapes lean on gravel, river rock, boulders, and mulch to cut water use. Stone covers open ground, mulch holds moisture around plant roots, and boulders add structure. Paired with drought-tolerant plants, those materials keep summer watering to a minimum.
