Mulch installed in Western NC typically runs $35 to $75 per cubic yard, and bulk mulch delivered without spreading runs $30 to $60. One cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches deep. Within a mile and a half of Clyde the USDA soil survey maps 58% of the ground at a 15% slope or steeper, so a bed on a grade gets shredded hardwood and a cut edge on the low side, which adds a little labor and helps keep the mulch in the bed.
Eroded clay loam
Hayesville clay loam covers 20% of the area near Clyde on 15 to 30 percent slopes and 12% on 8 to 15 percent. Where topsoil has washed, the clay left behind is dense, low in organic matter and quick to shed rain. A mulched bed takes in more water and loses less soil, and each year's layer decays into the top of the clay. The median lot is 0.78 acres and 41.8% of lots are an acre or more, so there can be a good deal of bed and border to cover. The nearest NOAA station, 4.4 miles off, averages 50 inches of precipitation a year.
Leaf removal and yard cleanup in Clyde
A spring cleanup pulls weeds, cuts back what winter killed, recuts the edges and rakes washed mulch back up the bed before new mulch goes down. A fall visit takes the leaves. Leaf removal in Western NC typically runs $150 to $600 per visit, and a seasonal yard cleanup $200 to $1,000. Bare patches on a bank are seeded and covered in the same visit.

| Soil map unit | Share of ground | Slope | Drainage class | On the map | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hayesville clay loam, 15 to 30 percent slopes, eroded | 20% | 23% | Well drained | no flooding, shallow rock or shallow water on the map | Wall / slope work |
| Hayesville clay loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes, eroded | 12% | 12% | Well drained | no flooding, shallow rock or shallow water on the map | Surface grade |
| Evard-Cowee complex, 15 to 30 percent slopes | 11% | 22% | Well drained | bedrock about 27 in down | Wall / slope work |
| Fannin loam, 30 to 50 percent slopes, eroded | 7% | 40% | Well drained | no flooding, shallow rock or shallow water on the map | Wall / slope work |
| Udorthents-Urban land complex, 2 to 50 percent slopes | 6% | 25.1% | Somewhat excessively drained | no flooding, shallow rock or shallow water on the map | Wall / slope work |
| Evard-Cowee complex, 30 to 50 percent slopes | 5% | 40% | Well drained | bedrock about 27 in down | Wall / slope work |
Across the whole circle: 58% of the ground is mapped at a 15% slope or steeper, 3% as moderately well to very poorly drained soil, and 22% with bedrock within about 40 inches. The town point sits in the USGS watershed unit "Beaverdam Creek-Pigeon River". Nearest NOAA rainfall normal: 50 inches a year (Waynesville 1 E, 4.4 miles off). Pulled 2026-11-09 from USDA-NRCS Soil Data Access, the USGS hydrography datasets and NOAA 1991–2020 normals. A soil map is not a site test: we confirm your Clyde lot on the free site walk.
What mulch and cleanups cost in Clyde, NC
These are typical Western North Carolina market ranges, not a Maidenhair Landscaping quote. North Carolina construction runs about 12% below the national average, but our mountain terrain — 15–40%+ slopes, weathered bedrock and saprolite, clay, and tight access — pushes most jobs toward the high end of every range. A flat infill lot sits low; a steep escarpment lot sits at or above the top. Your exact price comes from a free on-site estimate.
| Item | Typical WNC range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mulch installed (material + labor) | $35–$75/cubic yard | ~1 yd covers 100 sq ft at 3 in. deep |
| Bulk mulch delivery | $30–$60/cubic yard | hardwood, dyed, or natural; delivery fee on small loads |
| Leaf removal (per visit) | $150–$600 | lot size + leaf volume; fall flush at the high end |
| Seasonal yard cleanup | $200–$1,000 | beds, edges, debris, and haul-off |
What drives it: yards of mulch, bed square footage and edging, leaf volume, haul-off vs mulch-in-place, slope, and access.
