Had to do a few yards today. Let my trailer be pink for a few days! Can't stand red mulch!!!

[wallacedooley]

res mulch is not hard putting it in , we put 4.5 cu down in about a hour pretty color stands out on your house

[diamond]

I have to admit. I use red mulch because it matches my brick. It enhances my yard. What I do ate is the fabric or cardboard I have to use to get rid of weeds.

Hey Keith,
I've recently acquired a commercial contract and doing flower bed maintenance. However first, I need to clean everything up. What is your regular procedure to cleanup a bed and then put mulch. Any mulch they had before is pretty faded/gone . However, there's not too many large weeds just lots of dandelions. Should I spray post emergent then put down a pre emergenct after string trimming then put down the mulch?

[FixItWithMe]

How often do you need to change black mulch? Once a year? How long does the color last?

[alexalex]

Thanks Keith Praise God you love Red Mulch.

[miked]

use cedar mulch instead, similar reddish colour, but more natural

[losttheplot]

Get some lawn feed granular or back pack sprayer application on the grass

[Brendan]

double shreaded pine is my favourite natural colour

[LuisEnriqueRubioChavez]

I love mulch jobs. I do lawn care and only landscaping I do is plants with bark or gravel. I’ve simplified my services

[williamhammock]

I landscaped my front yard with bark and mulch because my wife hated the rock here in vegas.... then the sun came and faded everything ... then the 60 mph wind came and blew that stuff everywhere yard has lookednlike hell for years. Planning to undo that mistake soon

[TristenHernandez]

Thank you that was my question to you on your other video how much to charge for mulch these days. Some customers are really feeling the squeeze and they’re not liking these much higher prices we’re giving them. Part of me feels like giving up and just going back to the private sector but I love working for myself and I love this work so videos like this do help.

[AdvancedLawn]

You need to raise those mulch prices man. Stop quoting per yard and start quoting based on how much prep there’s going to be. Itemized quotes kill profits

[everardojimenez]

About how much does a yard of mulch cover ?

[Flying.Flocks]

I had a feeling you would spin that! 😃

[Soviless]

not as bad as black rubber mulch my step dad uses in his garden;)

[madonnahagedorn]

This is unfortunately what my husband wants to use in our professionally landscaped front yard we are currently doing. When I heard the word RED I cringed. It's cheap, it loses color and it reminds me of large pencil shavings. I hope I can change his mind and use mini nugget pine bark which is supposed to be better, so I've researched. Let's hope.

[Pantelifts]

The last 3 years nobody have asked me for red mulch. This year is no different. Already have done close to 20 yards (all black mulch) and it's just the beginning (Ontario).

[grumpy]

Short sweet and to the point! 👉
Mulchit baby! 🏡

[jackmasters]

I don’t care if the customer wants orange mulch 😂. Dollars are green🤘. Great money in mulch jobs. Instant face lift for most properties. Have some yard signs handy when you’re doing the job and after. Simple and effective advertising 😃. Thanks Keith. Keep em coming 🌳🌳🌳. I have some swag for you. Looks like you’re a large in shirts? Have a nice weekend 🌞
