Select Delivery Type

Free Mulch with Free Delivery is a fantastic option; however, you can make your mulch request far more appealing to local arborists by choosing one of our paid options below.

When you select a paid option, your listing appears as a GOLD symbol on the arborists’ map. This not only helps support your local arborist by compensating them for their time and effort, but also makes your site significantly more attractive. Paid sites are often prioritised over standard listings, meaning arborists may choose to deliver to you first.

Please note: This payment is not charged upfront when you create a free mulch request on MulchSpot. Any payment is arranged directly between you and the delivering arborist at the time of delivery.

Site Drop Notes

MulchSpot is built and designed to assist local Arborists and business owners unload their truck in areas local to jobs they are completing. Truck sizes vary from one business to the next and it is important you understand that they expect to empty the whole load, if you require a less than 5-12 cubic metres of tree mulch, then MulchSpot is NOT for you.

MULCHSPOT / THE STANDBY LIST

Free mulch.
Big truck.

We help the two find each other.

Join the free standby list and you could receive

BEFORE YOU REQUEST

Know what you’re getting into.

Arborist woodchips are brilliant for gardens.
But we’re talking about a real truckload,
not a few bags from the hardware store.

15m³

That’s a serious pile of mulch.

A large load can reach 15 cubic metres.
Make sure you have somewhere safe for the
truck to unload and a plan for spreading it.

Don’t need that much? Organise a few neighbours
to share it before requesting.

Actual load size depends on the arborist’s truck.

THE IMPORTANT DETAILS

How the standby list works.

Seven things worth knowing before you drop your pin.

01

It’s not a booking.

Arborists use the map when they’re working nearby
and need somewhere to unload. Your address is a
possible stop, not a scheduled delivery.
A load may never arrive.

02

The whole truck is yours.

Crews generally unload everything at one address.
They don’t split the load into smaller deliveries.
If you need a few bags, a garden supplier is
a better fit.

03

You’ll need room.

Loads are often 7–12 cubic metres and can
reach 15. You’re responsible for any leftovers.
MulchSpot and the arborist don’t return to
collect excess mulch.

04

It’s real arborist mulch.

Colour, size, species and texture vary.
Hardwood, softwood and palm material differ.

Learn the difference →

05

Want to stand out? Go Gold.

Choose the paid-delivery option and your
listing appears Gold on the map, showing
arborists you’re willing to pay for delivery.

You pay the arborist directly after delivery,
not MulchSpot when signing up.
Gold doesn’t guarantee a load.
The free option stays free.

06

One request, one listing.

When an arborist purchases your listing,
it’s removed from the available map.
If you need another load later,
submit a new request.

07

Changed your mind?

Email

theteam@mulchspot.com.au

with your address and suburb as soon as
possible so the listing can be removed.
