If you live anywhere near Rowlett (eastern suburb of Dallas) I can hook you up with all the free mulch you can haul away.

Hi, This topic came up today at the master gardener phone's. The city of fort worth offers free compost/mulch at 2525 Joe B. Rushing rd. It is right by TCC south campus. You can find info at www.timetorecycle.com

Hope

Yes...in Fort Worth. I checked this summer with them @ 817-275-7041. They said it was by Rolling Hills Park between the soccer fields and Rolling Hills Tree Farm @ 2525 Joe B. Rushing Rd.
You have to take your own containers and the workers cannot/will not help you but you are welcome to take what you need.
I never made it myself but you could always call first to see if they have any available.
BTW...congrats on your 2nd boy!!!

Seems like the City of Dallas has a mulch station at Flag Pole Hill, in the White Rock area.

Awesome! I'm all about free garden materials. Seeing as how it's free I wouldn't have expected them to help bag/load it. Sounds like a job for my husband!

If Flag Pole Hill has a mulching station, I'm not aware of it. You can dump Christmas trees there after the holidays, but I believe they are hauled elsewhere.

There are some stables behind Flag Pole Hill that have mountains of composted stable material and horse poo that they let anyone have for free. It's really stinky unless you are willing to go in deep for the really good stuff.

If anyone could tell me where to find free mulch or especially compost somewhere in NE TX I'd really really appreciate it. This red clay is terrible! and I need a lot!

TIA

What about the south area of DFW such as Mansfield, Cedar Hill, Arlington, etc?

Lou, I think we're considered the "have nots" of the free (mulch) world!

Tree trimmers are my best source:

It works better if you catch them near the end of the day & tell them you'll *show* them where to take it, & then sit in your car until they're ready to go.

(I read a book while I wait.)

LOL. I haven't seen any of them in my town which doesn't have that many trees :( I've grown up in Houston and attended college in East Texas where there are a lot more trees which I loved.

I don't think tree trimmers would be willing to drive hundreds of miles to dump wood chips on my driveway. :) It is darn more expensive to buy mulch up here than Houston. Even from same company (LETCO). 15 bucks a yard in Houston compared to 28 bucks a yard in Dallas area. I asked why the difference and they don't know! Oh well. I'll still keep an eye for tree trimmers somewhere close by!

You might call Asplundh, the company that trims for the power company, & find out when they'll be in the Midlothian area & maybe you can get someone from their dispatch dept to set you up to receive a load.

not free, but you might check the price at Travis Equipment on 287 just on the eastern edge of Midlothian.

They used to be cheaper than Living Earth.

Best luck.

Joe B. Rushing Road in Ft. Worth is just north of Kennedale. That's at least CLOSER to Mansfield! (And quite conveniently close to ME ... )
