An old 30? Wtf. Do the landscaping and then hit the gym to finish off the day.

Are you clowning us ? You seriously re-shingled your effing roof yourself and are debating with us whether to move mulch on your own.
The real issue is how much mulch and how far and difficult to move it to where it has to go. If less then 10 yds- then just do it yourself. Like I mentioned, I do over 40 yds each year. But I wouldn't recommend that to many.
Also for consideration, a pre emergent and a weed barrier. Also, if you hire someone to do it, it is usually labor cost = mulch cost. I have also always found they go way too thick. Not a bad idea your first year for a full 4 inches but it is overkill in later years.
One more thing...never, ever use red mulch unless you are a shopping plaza.

My wife and I did this ourselves last year with mulch that we bought in bags from Grow-rite in Lincoln Park. It was early in the spring and the mulch was from Canada and still frozen. My wife, who is freakishly strong for 125 lbs. broke up the mulch with her hands and ended up with carpal tunnel like symptoms for several months. She is a young 56 by the way, not an old 30.
Jim Brophy is a good friend and on of my roommates from my RU days and post college. He does great work! Let him know you are an RU alum and expect a discount.
If OP really is 30, I would expect him to do the entire job himself, hit the gym and then bang his wife at the end of the day.
