How do you know which mulch product to use?
There are many common names for cedar products here in the US like- Eastern
Aromatic, Northern White, Mountain, Coastal, Western Red Cedar, and many others.
They ALL vary in color, smell, texture and longevity.
From years of experience I have found that Western Red Cedar Mulch from as far
North as you can get (British Columbia) and West of the Rocky Mountain Range
produces the deepest reds/oranges in color and also the largest trees. As a result,
this product has more bark and heart wood which helps provide better
qualities and characteristics for many years of beauty to be enjoyed.
Other so called "Western Red Cedar" mills have to use younger and smaller trees and
these trees produce a very light color (almost yellowish/gold) mulch and it will either turn
gray in color very quickly or else it will turn a dark brown to black if blended with other
wood products like Douglas Fir or Pine commonly found and produced at these mills.
Our mill produces ONLY 100% WRC products so we never have to worry about
blending or contamination from foreign wood or mulches.
Many years of experience and many happy customers tell me which one is most
preferred! Ihler Sales & Distribution, LLC believes we have found the very BEST of
all Western Red Cedar Mulches and we are proud to offer it to you. Demand Quality!
We will ship directly to you from the mill in most cases- especially in full t/l quantities.

HOW IS VOLUME VERIFIED? HERE IS A SIMPLE AND EASY TEST WE PERFORMED...
First, a flat concrete area was cleared off of any debris.
Second, we used 2x4 lumber to make a box frame. The width of a 2x4 is 3.6 inches. We used this for our height.
Third, we made the two sides (for length x width) which measured out to be 10 feet wide by 49.5 feet in length. Our length
was going to be the variable by moving the end board either "in or out" to where ever the mulch would end after all mulch
was used from the bale. This would then be squared off making a perfect rectangle.
Fourth, we then opened one bale of mulch and began spreading it out. Entire area was then leveled off. Much like
screening concrete when working with cement on a driveway or patio- you want the final grade to be as level as possible.
Finally, ts time to multiply the numbers and determine yardage.
[For easier mathematics I am going to convert feet to inches.]
Length= 594 inches x Width= 120 inches x Height= 3.6 inches
Equals a total of 256,608 square inches
One cubic foot has 1,728 sq. inches (12" x 12" x 12")
One cubic yard has 27 cubic feet in it.
Final calculation: 256,608 / 1,728 = 148.5 cubic feet
148.5 / 27 = 5.5
Exactly 5.5 cubic yards per bale!

| NEW PRODUCTS Cedar Chips for Playground Areas Available in loose bulk or in a compressed bale form. Same size as our Cedar Mulch bales but due to no bark in product, only clean cedar chips, chips do not compress as much. Each bale will yield 4.8 cubic yards or approx 259 sq feet at a 6" depth. We also have a smaller size with bark fines for Animal Bedding. Call for pricing and more details. |
