Company Profile
Camel City Mulch & Gravel is a Winston-Salem based supplier of premium landscaping materials. We help local homeowners combat common Triad issues like unsightly bare patches and stubborn weed infestations. Our high-quality mulch and gravel provide effective, natural solutions—mulch retains soil moisture to help grass recover in bare spots and suppresses weed growth, while gravel creates durable, low-maintenance pathways and ground cover that weeds struggle to penetrate. As your local source, we deliver the right materials directly to your property, making it easier for Winston-Salem residents to maintain a healthy, attractive landscape year-round.
Q&A
What type of mulch is best for preventing weeds in my Winston-Salem yard?
For weed suppression in our area, we recommend a shredded hardwood or pine bark mulch applied at a depth of 2-3 inches. This creates a dense barrier that blocks sunlight, preventing weed seeds from germinating. It also helps retain soil moisture, which is especially beneficial during our hotter months, giving your desired plants a competitive edge.
Can gravel help with drainage issues in my landscape, and what kind should I use?
Absolutely. Using gravel like #57 or crushed granite in problem areas can significantly improve drainage and prevent water from pooling, which can lead to soil erosion and bare patches. It's an excellent solution for French drains, downspout run-offs, or creating stable, permeable pathways and patio bases that withstand our local weather.
How much material do I need to cover a bare patch or create a new gravel area?
As a general rule, one cubic yard of mulch covers about 100 square feet at a 3-inch depth, and one ton of gravel covers roughly 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth. For a precise estimate tailored to your specific project in Winston-Salem, we're happy to help you measure and calculate—just give us the dimensions of your area.
