It can be as simple as: “Place the mulch bags in piles of 5 by the garage door.” Or it can be as specific as: “Place 3 bags by the tree in the front by the mailbox, put 5 bags in the mulch bed in front of the house, etc.” Please also give a good phone number to call in case there is questions about delivery.
