Mulch Installation

Mulch brings many benefits to your property such as greater curb appeal and improved weed control. Mulch also feeds vital nutrients to plants, improves the soil, and protects your landscape beds from erosion, drought, and extreme temperatures. To get the most benefit from mulch, it needs to be installed properly.

Mulching must be done correctly to get all the benefits without accidentally damaging the plants in your landscape beds. Our team members are trained to industry standards and will properly apply mulch to promote the best health of your plants. A layer of mulch that is too thin will not provide enough coverage to protect your soil from erosion, weeds, or extreme temperatures. Too much mulch can suffocate the soil and your plant’s root system, forcing them to fight for the nutrients they crave. We will apply mulch to the proper thickness to benefit your landscape beds without suffocating your plant’s root system.

Debris removal: Things like twigs, rocks, and dead tree branches can be quite the eyesore and are not fun to step on when you are trying to enjoy the warm weather. They can also suffocate your lawn and prevent water and sunlight from reaching the roots of your grass and the plants in your landscape beds. Sign up for our fall cleanup service and we can take care of the debris removal for you.

We also ensure that trees and shrubs are not over-mulched, which could promote the rotting of the plant’s stem or trunk. We provide enough mulch around your trees and shrubs but also allow a gap between the mulch and the plants to allow air to reach the base of the plants. All our mulch is installed by hand to ensure the proper, even placement of the mulch throughout your landscape beds and ensure your plants are not damaged by improper mulching.

Generally, we use a fine bark mulch for all our landscapes. Applying a thick layer of fine bark mulch can help retain soil moisture, control weeds, prevent erosion, protect from temperature extremes and improve appearance. It should be done carefully, however, as improper installation can lead to crown rot or other issues. Fine bark mulch is one of our best tools to control weeds, without having to apply any chemicals. We can do the heavy work of installing mulch in your garden, without damaging your landscape.

Mulch will decompose over time. This is a good thing, as it releases nutrients into the soil when this occurs. To continue providing all the protective benefits to your landscape beds, the mulch will need to be replenished. You always want to keep two-to-three inches of mulch covering and we recommend replenishing your landscape beds once a year. Whether we are doing a first-time application or preparing your landscape beds for another year, we’ll install mulch the proper way so you get all the health benefits for your landscape beds.
