AI material illustrationCedar Mulch
$80.00 / ton
Shredded natural Texas cedar with a reddish tan color and a fresh cedar scent. It knits together so it stays put on slopes, resists breaking down and naturally repels many insects. Holds moisture through Central Texas summers.
2 tons × $80.00 per ton. Delivery and applicable tax are separate.
1 dump-truck load
Up to 9 tons per load. Different materials ship in separate loads.

Enter your area and depth and we'll estimate the tonnage.
Estimate includes no waste factor. Density changes with moisture and compaction; ordering 5–10% extra is common for field variation.
Delivery specifications

- Up to 9 tons per load
- Order minimum
- 2 tons
- Recommended access
- 12 ft wide, firm and level

Protect beds with the right texture
A practical guide to choosing and planning cedar mulch. Match the exact grade to your project; nominal sizes and natural colors can vary between yards.
Size & grading

Before compaction, settling or waste.
Where it works
Surface cover for landscape beds and around established planting, with grind and color chosen for the site.
When to choose something else
Mulch is not structural fill or a growing medium. Do not pile it against trunks, stems or building siding.
Before it arrives
Remove weeds, define bed edges and water dry soil before covering. Check existing mulch depth before adding more.
Placement & installation
Spread an even layer suited to the planting, keeping trunks and crowns exposed. Confirm dyed-product handling and settling expectations with the source.
Care over time
Refresh after decomposition rather than burying old layers indefinitely. Natural wood color changes as it weathers.
Confirm with the source
Wood species, grind, dye treatment, approximate bulk density and whether the load is priced by ton or cubic yard.
General planning guidance. Supplier specifications, project plans and site conditions determine suitability and installation requirements.
