What Folsom Mulch & More supplies

Bulk mulch comes in hardwood, dyed, cedar, cypress and pine bark varieties. Bought loose by the yard it usually costs well under half the per-volume price of bagged mulch at a big-box store, which is why most repeat buyers switch to bulk.

Double-ground hardwood is the common default and knits together well on slopes. Dyed mulch holds colour longer but fades unevenly. Pine bark is lighter and floats, so it travels in heavy rain. Ask how long the pile has been sitting — fresh, hot mulch can burn tender plants.

Full-line landscape supply yards stock soil, mulch, decorative stone, boulders, pavers, edging and often sod under one roof. That matters when a project needs several materials, because combining them into a single delivery avoids paying separate trip charges to multiple suppliers.

Because Folsom Mulch & More carries several material lines, it is often possible to combine an order across products — soil, mulch and stone on one truck — rather than paying separate delivery charges to two or three different yards.

How much material you need

Mulch is sold by the cubic yard. A cubic yard of mulch weighs roughly 400–800 lbs, so a pickup can typically manage two to three yards.

As a rough guide: 1 yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 in; 3 yards covers about 325 sq ft at 3 in; 10 yards covers about 1,080 sq ft at 3 in.

Order slightly over rather than under. Coming up short means a second delivery charge, which almost always costs more than the extra material would have.

Ordering and delivery

Delivery pricing usually keys off distance from the yard, so confirm both the charge to your address and any minimum load before comparing quotes.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Pricing for bulk material is rarely published in full, since it moves with stock and season. The business website may list current products, but a phone call will get you a firm delivered number faster.

Ratings and reputation

Of the 14 reviews on file, 10 are five-star (71%) and 1 are four-star. 3 reviews sit at one or two stars, and those are worth reading directly — complaints at material yards usually concern delivery timing or short loads rather than the product itself.

Among the suppliers we list across Arkansas, this rating places Folsom Mulch & More in the top 83%.

Across the 5 suppliers we list in Benton, the average rating is 4.5.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 4.1 drawn from 14 reviews rests on a small sample, so weigh it accordingly.

Hours and visiting the yard

Folsom Mulch & More is open 5 days a week, closed Saturday and Sunday. The yard opens as early as 8 AM and runs until 12 PM.

The yard is closed on Saturdays, so weekend work needs material ordered and delivered before Friday close.

Loading is weather-dependent whatever the posted hours say. Heavy rain turns yards to mud and makes wet material heavier and harder to spread, so call the same morning if conditions look poor.

Best time to buy in Arkansas

Arkansas's longer growing season spreads demand across more of the year, which generally means better availability than northern markets. Even so, spring remains the peak for mulch, and summer heat makes midday loading and installation punishing — early-morning pickups are worth the alarm clock. Autumn and winter are frequently the best value windows, with shorter queues and more flexible delivery scheduling.
