Item description is miss leading.
The picture of the mulch is most likely not what you’re going to get. I realize the product says it can vary from state to state but I didn’t even get close to what I ordered. It’s too late once they drop it off. I had 10 cubic yards dropped off. You can’t really return that. I should have looked in the truck before they unloaded. The picture Home Depot shows large wood chips for which I wanted for my child’s playground. I got small landscaping mulch you would use for a flower bed. Not ideal for a playground. I will go to a a different place from now on and visually pick what I want.

I ordered 6 cubic yards for a 20x20ft play area. This was a good amount and filled the box nicely with a large uhaul boxful left over which can be used as a refill later. These woodchips are not as clean as advertised there are small stones, and pieces of plastic mixed in. I think these foreign items get mixed in because the truck that delivers it has the mulch directly in the flat bed and residue of whatever was previously in the truck mixes in. For the price I expected it to be pure wood chips. It is super dusty and dry on arrival but after it rains that really calms down. Delivery will be dumped in a heap on your driveway so be sure to have a plan to get it to the backyard. You will most definitely need a shovel and a wheelbarrow or some other way to move it.

Pretty much as advertised
We ordered 5 cu. yd. for the area around the play set (see picture) and it was more than enough. The mulch is good at cushioning falls but the kiddos still complain about getting scratched from time to time. Our only real complaint is that the mulch had a decent amount of plastic debris mixed in – both hard and soft plastics.

Better than expected!
The mulch arrived much sooner than originally quoted, which worked out great. The mulch was much smaller than shown in the picture and more finely chopped, which made the mulch softer and bouncier. Product has been great, and the kids have loved playing in this more than the dirt yard that their play set was previously on.

The ordering was easy, just select the amount you need. the delivery company was very good at communicating the delivery. The mulch itself was good, exactly the size i expected.
The only issue was the mulch did have rocks, shells, and a 2"x 1" chunk of cement with reinforcement in it. I believe the delivery company should take a little more care cleaning out trucks between loads, as all the rocks/shells looked like typical landscaping materials.

Not what we ordered
The mulch we received that is supposedly “certified playground mulch” is basically just the same mulch you put in your garden. Just as dirty and dusty and looks nothing like what was advertised. We called to say this is not what was expected for the high price and were told this is the product. If we use this under our play structure our child is going to be covered in dirt and splinters. Home Depot should deliver what they promise.

Easy process and just as pictured
I went with this product because the photo looked more like what I wanted for my garden paths than some other options I had tried in the past through smaller family owned businesses. This is definitely as shown in the photo, a mix of some more chunky pieces and a lot of shredded pieces. It's going to be great for my paths. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 simply because I didn't actually get a phone call as promised before the driver showed up, but it wasn't problematic since I was already home waiting for the delivery. It was contactless, and the driver did a great job following the instructions I'd given in the scheduling process for where to put it. Overall very happy and will likely be ordering again in a few years when I need to top off my garden paths.
