Q2. Is there a minimum amount that you will deliver?

Q3. How far in advance do I need to place my order for delivery?

Answer: We try to make all of our deliveries within one day, but the more notice we have, the better. Due to stock and previously scheduled delivery considerations, we will be able to give you more specific information if you call us directly. You may reach us at 410.391.0799.

Q4. Does mulch attract termites?

Answer: No, there is no kind of mulch that attracts termites. In general, every acre of land (in this area of the country) contains colonies of termites; the presence of mulch neither attracts nor causes them. Termites require wood of at least a 2" thickness to build their nests. As a result, mulch is not sufficient for their needs and they will not nest in it.

Q5. Does Stuckey's install patios and retaining walls?

Answer: No, we do not install. However, we work with several excellent, qualified contractors and we will be happy to refer you to one or more of them to help with your installation project.
