Frequently Asked Questions

​

Q: What is the Mulch Sale?

A: The Chap Band Mulch Sale is one of our largest annual fundraising events to benefit the Westlake Chaparral Band.

 

Q: What can I purchase to support the Band?

A: We offer bags of hardwood mulch for $5 each, bags of black mulch for $6 each, and pallets of 52 bags of mulch at $260 (hardwood mulch) and $312 (black mulch) each.

 

Q: Why should I buy mulch from the Band?

A: Because our prices are competitive with what you’d pay at your local home improvement store [the ones with the blue or orange logos] and with local landscaping supply stores. BUT, you don’t pay sales tax when you buy mulch from us, and every order of eight (8) bags or more of OUR MULCH comes with free delivery to your location in the 78746 or 78733 ZIP codes or to Lakes Edge in Bee Cave. And with every order, you get the deep satisfaction of helping the Westlake Chap Band continue their musical excellence, and WHO can put a price on that???

​

Q: Did you say FREE delivery???

A: YES. Westlake Band members will (C)happily deliver your order of eight (8) or more bags of mulch in the 78746 or 78733 ZIP codes, or to Lakes Edge in Bee Cave, providing delivery can be accomplished safely with our vehicles.

 

Q: What do I do once the mulch arrives?

A: If you need assistance spreading your mulch, we know a bunch of Westlake students who would be (C)happy to assist you. Add “Spreading” services to your order, and we’ll put those students in touch with you to make arrangements. We recommend a $20/hour per student payment for mulch spreading. You will pay the students directly after they have completed the job.

 

Q: What if I have a really difficult or sharply elevated driveway?

A: Contact us at mulch@westlakeband.org, and we’ll figure out the best way to get your mulch to you.
