What Thomas Wiedemeier Sawmill 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 Thomas Wiedemeier Sawmill 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

Among the suppliers we list across Wisconsin, this rating places Thomas Wiedemeier Sawmill in the top 10%.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 5.0 drawn from 5 reviews rests on a small sample, so weigh it accordingly.

Best time to buy in Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, 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.

Other suppliers nearby

There are 6 other suppliers we list within a short drive, the closest being Parthie Landscape & Stone, LLC in Marinette, roughly 14.2 miles away. 3 suppliers sit within a 25-mile radius of this yard.

Pricing the same material at two or three yards is usually worth the phone calls. Bulk rates move with stock on hand, and delivery radius often decides which supplier is genuinely cheapest to your address.
