MULCH INSTALLATION

While it might seem easier to just add new mulch on top, professional landscapers know that mulch removal is a critical first step to a healthy, beautiful garden bed. Over time, old mulch compacts and creates a thick layer that can suffocate plant roots, leading to rot and disease. Without removing the old material, your garden beds will suffer from excessive mulch accumulation, making it difficult for water to reach the soil and causing the new mulch to easily fall off the beds. Our professional new mulch installation process includes the meticulous removal of existing material, ensuring we start with a clean slate. This allows us to maintain the ideal depth for optimal plant health and to create a clean, crisp finish that stays in place.

While it may seem as simple as spreading a bag of material, knowing how to properly install mulch is the key to both a beautiful and healthy landscape. Incorrect mulch installation can lead to serious problems, from piling material against tree trunks—a practice known as "volcano mulching" that causes rot—to applying a layer that is either too thick and smothers plants or too thin to provide effective weed control and moisture retention. Our team understands the vital techniques of professional mulching. We meticulously apply mulch at the ideal depth of 2-3 inches, ensuring it is pulled away from plant stems and trunks to allow them to breathe and thrive. This expert craftsmanship not only gives your landscape a polished, uniform look but also guarantees your plants have the optimal conditions for health and long-term vitality, saving you time and money on future maintenance.
