Mulch Delivery

About Mulch Delivery

Takoma Park’s Public Works Department has leaf mulch available for pick up and delivery. The mulch is made by grinding leaves collected each fall in the City’s vacuum leaf collection program. Mulch can be used as a soil amendment or a top dressing around plants and trees.

Mulch is available for purchase through Public Works.

How to Schedule & Pay for Mulch Delivery

Public Works delivers mulch* to residents and customers outside of Takoma Park (30-mile maximum) for the prices listed at the bottom of this page. The delivery program starts in March each year and continues until supplies are depleted.

Deliveries are scheduled on Fridays between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Call 301-891-7633 to schedule a delivery. Payment can be made by check or money order, mailed to the Public works office or hand-delivered and received by Thursday afternoon at Public Works. Payment by credit card is also available, but includes a processing fee.

*NOTE: Mulch deliveries are made to driveways only or easily accessible yards behind the curb or sidewalk.

If you would like to order a delivery your location should:

  • Have a location available that a large truck will be able to back into.
  • No low overhead utility lines.
  • No ground level obstructions.

If you do not have a driveway special arrangements for delivery must be approved by Public Works Department.
