Proper Mulch Selection
Not all mulches are created equally, and the type of mulch you choose significantly affects how well it performs the necessary functions for your landscape. We provide several premium mulch options, including:- Wood Chips - Shredded hardwood or softwood chips make an organic and decorative mulch. They come in natural brown tones or can be dyed in black, red, or gold colors. Wood chips are a budget-friendly option.
- Shredded Bark - Shredded tree bark offers a slightly more textured appearance than wood chips. It provides excellent moisture retention and weed suppression.
- Compost - Compost mulch improves soil nutrition as it decomposes. It also encourages beneficial soil organisms. Compost is an excellent choice for flower and vegetable gardens.
- Rocks/Pebbles - Inorganic options like pebbles or crushed rocks can be used as mulch. They provide a decorative, colorful look and are incredibly durable. However, they don't improve soil quality.
Professional Mulch Application
Equally as important as choosing the right mulch is having it properly applied. Our team takes care of the entire mulching process for you:- Bed Preparation - Before mulching, we remove any existing mulch and prep the soil beds, including weed removal, light tilling, and any necessary soil amendments.
- Calculating Depth - We determine the appropriate mulching depth based on the mulch used and your landscaping goals. Proper depth is critical for weed suppression and water retention.
- Contouring - Mulch is carefully contoured around trees, plants, and landscaping features to provide an attractive, finished look.
- Edging - For clearly defined beds, we install or refresh decorative edging between mulched beds and lawn areas.
- Final Touches - Our technicians ensure an impeccable mulching job by clearing any excess mulch from hardscapes and tuning up your landscape's overall appearance.
Customized Mulching Solutions
We customize our mulching services to match each client's unique landscape design, plants, and landscape maintenance needs. Some customized options include:- Color Enhancement - We can incorporate specialized color-enhanced mulches for visual interest. Popular options are black mulch for a modern appeal or red mulch for a more traditional look.
- Playground Mulch - We install soft, shredded rubber mulch or wood chips for playgrounds to provide a safe play surface for kids.
- Tree Ring Mulching - Mulch rings around trees improve their health. We expertly shape and edge tree ring mulch beds.
- Annual Mulch Refreshing - Many clients schedule a yearly mulch refresh to restore their mulch's clean appearance and performance.
- Specific Yard Areas - We can mulch certain areas like flower beds, trees, or pathways rather than the entire yard.
