Environmental Tree Care LLC

Environmental Tree Care LLC is a bulk mulch supplier serving Lakewood, Colorado and the surrounding region. Google lists the business under 8 categories — Tree service, Arborist service, Firewood supplier, Forestry service — which points to a broader inventory than a single-product yard carries.

What Environmental Tree Care LLC 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 color 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.

Because Environmental Tree Care LLC 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.

Measure your area and decide on depth before calling. Most yards will run the volume calculation for you and will flag when stepping up to a larger load actually lowers the price per unit.

Ordering and delivery

Confirm the delivery radius and fee early in the call. Two yards quoting similar material prices can land very differently once haulage is added.

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 277 reviews on file, 250 are five-star (90%) and 11 are four-star. 13 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 Colorado, this rating places Environmental Tree Care LLC in the top 30%.

Across the 7 suppliers we list in Lakewood, the average rating is 4.6.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 4.8 drawn from 277 reviews reflects a substantial track record.

Hours and visiting the yard

Environmental Tree Care LLC is open 7 days a week.

Saturday opening makes this a practical option for weekend projects — a real advantage, since plenty of bulk yards shut for the weekend and leave homeowners unable to collect material outside working hours.

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 Colorado

In Colorado, the buying window is compressed. Yards get busiest from the first thaw through early June, and again briefly in autumn. Ordering mulch in early spring often means waiting in a queue and paying peak rates, so booking delivery before the rush — or in late autumn for spring work — usually gets both a better price and a firmer delivery date. Many yards in colder states reduce hours or close outright through deep winter, so confirm seasonal availability before planning a January or February project.

Because haulage is such a large share of delivered cost, the nearest yard carrying your material frequently wins on total price even at a higher per-unit rate.

Buying mulch in Lakewood

We list 7 bulk suppliers in Lakewood and 252 across Colorado, spread over 70 cities and towns.

Bulk material pricing is intensely local. Trucking is a large share of the delivered cost, which is why a nearby yard usually beats a cheaper one further out once the full quote lands.
