Then they bring a dump truck full and dump it in the driveway! It's nice that they represent their load size in a way that most everyone should be able to understand.

Imagine making the same mistake with sand, soil or gravel. Always a good idea to ask how much a CY weighs when transporting things like this yourself. Even if you can fit it in your truck, weight overloads are a serious safety issue and can be really hard on your truck. At least it was just mulch (not a heavy dense material).

I'm laughing hysterically. I did the exact same thing -- only with more mulch :) I ordered 6 yards and could not believe how big the pile was. Let's just say anything and everything got a really heavy coat of mulch. Once it was all applied (seemed like weeks) the yard never looked better. Trixie Ahhaaa, haaa! I’m laughing hysterically.

I ordered 6 yards of compost so I could make my new front flower beds higher. I've maybe used 4 yards total (and that included putting in a new bed in addition to everything else I did). I still have about 3 yards sitting in a mound in my driveway. It seems to never get smaller! I definitely didn't need quite that much. I did a similar thing back in March.

Having worked around construction I know what a cubic yard is (and looks like!), but your visual was really good. A friend just ordered 10 cy to fill in her formerly red-rocked yard (rocks are gone) and ended up with 2 mountains of dirt in her front yard that had to be wheelbarrowed to the back. Good luck with your gardening. This made me smile. Having worked around construction I know what a cubic yard is (and looks like!), but your visual was really good.
