It took 6 bales just to do our front yard, so I'm guessing 15-20 bales to do the front/ 1-side/rear of a designer home. if you do the math, depending on price/bale, it's going to run $200-280 minimum per year if it needs replacing every six months.

How does ground up wood mulch (black gold or other various dyed colors) hold up here in Florida? Would using it, invite unwanted issues (termites)? I'm sure pine bark would last a few years, but I'm not crazy about the look of it. Rocks are nice looking, but expensive, and they do not add nutrients to your plants.
