What happens here

The professional demonstrates a highly efficient method for distributing mulch from the truck to the garden beds. He uses a pitchfork to quickly load a wheelbarrow with mulch and then rapidly transports each load to specific spots within the garden beds, creating small, evenly spaced piles. This "move it all first" approach minimizes back-and-forth movement and maximizes efficiency. He mentions this entire shoveling and placing process for a truckload of mulch took him only 33 minutes.

Goal: Quickly move all mulch from the curbside to evenly distributed piles within the garden beds.

else so let's get started on this job one of the things I want to point out when you're bidding and estimating a project like this is you have to take into consideration shop to shop time it's not just time on the job site now I'm going to be timing this I literally have a stopwatch and I'm stopwatch this job to see exactly how long it's going to take me to move this much mulch out and into the site spread it and grade it but that does not that time does not take into consideration the time it takes me to go to the yard pick up the truck get a tarp cuz you got a tarp uh wood chips like this or double Shred at hardwood mulch which is what I'm using you need the tarpet to go down the road so it doesn't blow out and create issues to get all the tools to get everything and then to return all that back you must take all of your time into consideration because your time is valuable so make sure you uh understand exactly how long it takes it's not just the time on the site but it's the time to prep the job from start to finish I call that shop to shop time [Music]
