Besides the obvious of being aesthetically eye pleasing mulch, offers many landscape benefits. Mulch creates a barrier that holds in moisture; this will prevent your plants from drying out. This barrier will also help prevent new weed seeds from coming into contact with the soil, thus reducing the number of weeds that will grow in your planting beds. When the mulch does break down, it turns into natural fertilizer to help feed your plants.

We recommend your beds have a 2-3 inch layer covering of mulch. Mulch will deteriorate over time. Whenever you have less than a 2-inch thick layer, we suggest that you apply new mulch. In our area, it is common to install mulch and have landscape maintenance every season. Some mulch types will deteriorate faster than others.

Mulch is a biodegradable product. Sun, rain and natural deterioration play factors on how long mulch lasts in it’s the best state. We recommend adding a new layer of mulch each season.  Adding new mulch will help to maintain the nutrients of the soil and keep a clean and tidy appearance.

Yes, but, playground mulch is a special ordered, and a minimum quantity is required for us to install this for you.  Typically, playground mulch should have a thickness of 6 inches or more to help reduce injuries.

Yes, if you would like you can choose to have us deliver mulch and drop it in your driveway. However, if you do request a quote for mulch delivery only, ask us how much it would cost for mulch delivery and installation as well. You may find that the cost for us to install it is worth it so that you don’t have to do the back-breaking landscape maintenance work.

Of course! You can provide your own mulch from a local vendor, such as, Home Depot, or Loews and we will gladly spread it. Mulch that is not purchased from us will be spread at our current hourly labor rates. Almost all our clients use us to deliver and install their mulch each season.

We recommend that you edge your beds and remove your weeds before mulch installation service. You are welcome to do these services yourself or contact us to get these scheduled. Quotes to install mulch are assuming that your beds are ready for mulch installation when the crews arrive.

A mulch bed pre-emergent is a product that our crew will spray or spread onto the beds to prevent new weeds from growing in mulched areas.

Yes, we offer this as an option for you.

There are pros and cons to landscape fabric. When installed correctly, it can deter weeds from growing in your beds. However, if the fabric is installed too tight around the foliage, it could suffocate the plants and prevent water from being able to penetrate the soil and nourishing the plants.

Mulch will bio-degrade into a form of soil. When mulch is installed on top of landscape fabric in future years, the fabric will become buried, having soil on top which will allow weeds to grow on top of the material, thus decreasing the effectiveness. For this reason, installing fabric before mulch installation is not very cost effective.

We do highly advise fabric installation under any decorative stone or rock if you do not have mulch.
