Came across this bargain today while buying garden mulch.
Only $10 per m3 is an absolute bargain.
Other landscaping stores want $80 per m3.
Located at Shepherds Landscaping in Prestons, NSW.
My first post. But used this site a lot.

Need this In Melbourne, good price.
Have a look along Edithvale Rd (bottom of Springvale Rd) - theres a wetland area where arborists seem to drop their surplus mulch.
Just bring your trailer and away you go. There is also some on Frankston Dandenong Rd about 1 km past the Thompsons Rd round about in the centre median strip - probably about 3 meters of mulch there as of yesterday.
So you go out and steal mulch.
Hardly, they are dumped illegally by people who find its too expensive now at council dumps
Is this sockpuppeting? I see nothing about the price on that two page website.
Also, can't you get free mulch from your local council?
Can't see anything on the website about pricing, seems dodgy to me.
Call up most arborists, they'll deliver it for free when they next fell a tree in your area.
Plus, OP does come across as a sockpuppet
I got the sockpuppeting vibe too, but then looking at the revisions, if someone was associated they would know that volume is measured in m³ and not m2.
I worry that free mulch or dumped mulch would be pest infected. Ie the tree is removed because of borer or there is whiteant. Know someone who lost their house to whiteant after they scavenged some dumped timber.
Where do you think the landscaping supplies get their mulch from?
Arborsists fell trees and either have to pay the tip to dump the mulch or they can give it away to locals/landscaping centres. It's the same mulch if you get it from a freshly felled green tree.
However, I agree to be wary about pure scavenging. Dumped timber is a risk.
If it is pine bark as in the title then it certainly isn't the same as the leaf mulch an arborist get's from lopping trees.
If you get free mulch from tree loppers it is green (not aged) and will take nitrogen from your soil while it breaks down. It's pretty hard to find around here anyway, most people try to charge you for it.
I think I paid 50 for our last load and all the plants struggled for a while after, even though I sprinkled chicken poo pellets to try to offset the nitrogen loss. Fair enough of you have room to let it sit for a while.
Maybe this site just has a crap webpage? OP did say he found it when he was there buying mulch?
