If you're just covering the children's play area, why not stop a
chipper truck (like Asplundh) and ask them to dump their load in
your yard? No charge for that service. I actually think fresh
chips look better anyway.

| I live in Fuquay and NOBODY wants to deliver it that far. I did
find
| Blythe Recycling in south Apex off of 55. They recycle trees
into
| mulch. Seems like a fairly large operation. They have double
shredded
| at $10 a cubic yard, and cedar for $25 which I think is a
really good
| price. Problem is that they charge to delver no matter how much
you
| order. Its $65 to Fuquay. If I get 20 CY of double shredded,
then the
| $65 delivery for $100 of mulch seems a little ridiculous to me.
|
| I need 10 CY because my kids play area is 32'x16' at 6" deep.
We might
| get more to do the planters and such also, so it may be as much
as 15
| CY. www.AreaMulch.com has a great calculator that figures out
how much
| you need. It even does circle beds and triangle beds. Their
site is
| somewhat odd to navigate, but their prices seem really good.
Again
| though, they don't want to deliver to Fuquay and you can't pick
up
| there.
|
| I would do Blythe in Apex, but I do not have a truck or trailer
to haul
| it in. That would be the easy solution. But oh well.
|
| Let me know if anyone has any great ideas.
