So, is there anywhere in the area that has cheaper mulch than the Lowe's
options? Not that they're awfully expensive, but I may be looking at
acquiring a fair bit of it soon.


There are several companies in the area that can deliver by the truck load.
You may want to do a Google search on this newsgroup for names that have been
mentioned before.

As also been mentioned here before, there might not be a great price
difference between Lowes/HD and the bulk guys, on a per cu ft basis. With the
bagged mulch, you don't have to shovel it into your wheelbarrow, and can buy
it as needed. However, as I recently found out at HD, they can use different
vendors. The last batch I bought was a different brand, with a different
texture (size of pieces) and color. After a few weeks in the sun/rain, the
difference is not very noticeable.
