The formula for determining cubic yards is fairly simple. It involves first finding the volume in cubic feet and then converting it to yards. We would be happy to help you but before you call we need to know the following: Length, Width, & Depth - Diamater or radius if it's a circular area.
Formula: Square Footage X Depth In Feet(inches / 12) / 27 = The amount of material you need in cubic yards.

No. As long as the material will be dumped in your driveway, our staff can take dump instructions over the phone for your convenience. If you need the truck to come off the surface of your driveway to dump the material, however, you will need to be home.
A safe estimate is a 13 ft wide opening and 11 ft in height.
Additional height is required when dumping. The area must be clear of powerlines, low tree limbs, ect.
The truck will fit. (see above question)
Rain has not made the area to muddy and soft for the truck to drive off road.
There are no underground facilities such as septic tanks that the truck will have to drive over.
Someone must be home to sign a disclaimer form for all off road deliveries.
Our disclaimer states the following:
"This is to inform you, the customer, that Hollins Organic Products, Inc. is responsible for curbside deliveries. Should you request our driver to make a delivery which is one other than curb side, Hollins Organic Products will assume NO RESPONSIBILITY for damages that may occur while dumping. If during the dumping procedure the Hollins vehicle should become stuck or unable to return to the paved surface, it will be at the customers' expense to have the vehicle towed and repair any damage done to the truck."
When all of those conditions are met, we can deliver off road. Even in the most perfect conditions the truck may still leave imprints in grass.
Unfortunately, there are molds that like just about any type of climate. The most common type of mold in this area is "slime mold." It is characterized by its yellow/orange color. Many people compare it to "vomit" in appearance. Once mulch is spread, mold spores in the air can attach to it and grow. Slime mold prefers dark, moist areas and feeds on rotting wood. Usually, mold will go away on its own, however, if you don't like the appearance, you can take a shovel and break it up or throw out the area of mulch that is affected.
No. All of our mulches are made from untreated wood such as bark, wood chips, leaves, and tree trimmings.
