THE EVERYDAY BEDS
Hardwood native is the default Tulsa bed mulch, and finely shredded is the same idea with a tighter, more finished look.
BULK MULCH,
PRICED & DELIVERED IN TULSA
6 yards of mulch from $390 delivered in Tulsa County, before sales tax. That is a typical front-and-back refresh in one drop, at a fraction of bagged prices. Eight mulches below, from budget rough cut to pecan shell.
01
WHICH MULCH DO I NEED?
All mulch does the same base job: hold moisture, block weeds, and keep roots cool. You are choosing look, longevity, and what it does for the soil.
HOLD THE COLOR
Colored mulch in black, brown, or red keeps its look all season, and cedar holds naturally while smelling like cedar.
BUDGET ACREAGE
Rough cut at $390 for 6 yards delivered. Coarse and unglamorous, which is fine for trails, tree rings, and holding a hillside.
PLAYGROUNDS & SHOWPIECES
Kiddie cushion is the soft engineered playground surface. Pecan shell is the conversation-piece topdressing.

THE MULCHES, IN DETAIL
ROUGH CUT MULCH
Coarse-ground wood, the budget cut. Bigger pieces break down slower and stay put on slopes, they just do not look manicured.
Use it for: trails, tree rings, slopes, big utility areas where coverage beats looks.
6 yards delivered: $390
HARDWOOD NATIVE MULCH
Shredded Oklahoma hardwood, the standard bed mulch. It knits together so it stays in the bed, and it feeds the soil as it breaks down.
Use it for: flower and shrub beds, foundation plantings, anywhere you refresh annually.
6 yards delivered: $480
FINELY SHREDDED MULCH
Hardwood run through a finer grind, so beds read smooth and edges hold a crisp line. The manicured look.
Use it for: front-of-house beds, formal gardens, commercial frontage.
6 yards delivered: $540
COLORED MULCH: BLACK, BROWN, OR RED
Dyed hardwood that holds its color all season instead of greying by July. Black reads modern, brown reads natural, red reads bold.
Use it for: beds where the color IS the design, commercial curb appeal, HOA frontage.
6 yards delivered, any color: $540
CEDAR MULCH
Aromatic, naturally rot-resistant, and slow to break down. The cedar oils that make it smell good are also why bugs tend to look elsewhere.
Use it for: beds near the house and patio, dog-adjacent areas, gardens you want mulched less often.
6 yards delivered: $570
PINE BARK MULCH
Chunky bark nuggets in warm red-brown. Slow to decompose, slightly acidifying as it does, which the acid-loving plants appreciate.
Use it for: azalea and camellia beds, naturalized areas, long-interval mulching. Pairs with azalea mix.
6 yards delivered: $620
KIDDIE CUSHION (PLAYGROUND MULCH)
Engineered wood fiber ground for fall softness: no bark chunks, no splinters by design. This is the surface commercial playgrounds actually use.
Use it for: playgrounds and swing sets, at 6 inches deep or more for fall protection.
6 yards delivered: $630
PECAN SHELL MULCH
Crushed Oklahoma pecan shells: deep brown, crunchy underfoot, and unlike anything else on the block. Breaks down slowly into rich organic matter.
Use it for: showpiece beds, kitchen gardens, pathways that should sound as good as they look.
6 yards delivered: $840

MULCH QUESTIONS, STRAIGHT ANSWERS
How much does bulk mulch cost delivered in Tulsa?
Delivered in Tulsa County, 6 cubic yards runs $390 for rough cut, $480 for hardwood native, $540 for finely shredded or colored, $570 for cedar, $620 for pine bark, $630 for playground mulch, and $840 for pecan shell, delivery included (sales tax extra). Outside Tulsa County adds $50 per load. Prices are estimates plus sales tax, confirmed on your quote. Multi-load job or repeat work? Ask about discounts.
How many yards of mulch do I need?
A cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches deep, the standard bed depth. Measure each bed's length times width, add them up, and divide by 100. A typical suburban front-and-back refresh lands between 4 and 8 yards, which is why our headline price is for 6. The calculator on this page does the math.
Is bulk mulch cheaper than bagged mulch?
Much cheaper per yard. A cubic yard is about 13.5 of the standard 2 cubic foot bags. At typical big-box bag prices that is well over $100 a yard before you haul it yourself. Bulk runs a fraction of that per yard delivered once you are past a few yards.
Which mulch lasts the longest?
Cedar and pine bark break down slowest and hold color the longest naturally. Colored mulch keeps its look through dye, and hardwood native is the workhorse that feeds the soil as it breaks down, which also means you refresh it more often.
Do you spread the mulch?
No. We deliver and dump the pile where you point us, as close to the beds as a loaded truck can safely get. Spreading is wheelbarrow work or a landscaper's job.
