Leaf Mulch In NoVa?

14 years ago

Does anybody know a good source who delivers bulk leaf mulch to the Vienna area? I am not looking for LeafGro compost. Although that's great stuff, it's more like topsoil than mulch. I am looking for lightly decayed leaves, nice and dark, that I can use as a mulch instead of the hardwood mulch that you see everywhere.

I know Vienna and Fairfax County have some, but a) I don't have a pickup truck and b) it usually contains lots of trash in it. So, are there any commercial outfits that supply the stuff?

We use Saunders Landscape Supply and also live near Vienna. Their leaf mulch is really good quality. Not cheap, something like $27 a cubic yard and you have to get at least 6 or 7 yards. Google for their website.
