West Seattle Mulch & Bark Installation Services
Mulch is the simplest upgrade with the biggest payoff. Done right, it blocks weeds, holds moisture, protects roots, and makes beds look finished—fast.
We serve Admiral, Alaska Junction, Alki, Fauntleroy, Arbor Heights, Delridge, Gatewood, High Point, Morgan Junction, and Roxhill.
What’s the Problem?
- Bare, compacted soil that weeds love
- Old bark faded, patchy, or slumping off slopes
- Beds dry out every August and turn to soup in January
- No defined edges—bark bleeds into lawn and hardscape
- “Volcano mulching” choking trunks and inviting pests
Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)
- Edge & define beds so mulch stays put and looks crisp
- Weed pass first (hand-pull + targeted pre-emergent where appropriate)
- Set correct depth — usually 2–3” (never bury crowns or touch trunks)
- Irrigation tune — adjust drip/timers after mulching so emitters aren’t smothered
- Slope control — pinning/terracing tricks so bark stays on hillsides
We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.
Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)
- Quarterly — spring/fall deep clean + two tune-ups
- Bi-Monthly — great balance for most West Seattle yards
What Annual Maintenance Includes
- Bed prep: rake-out, debris haul, and a clean 4” cut-edge or steel edging
- Install of your chosen mulch (hemlock/fir bark, arbor chips, compost cap, or gravel where suited)
- Depth checks & spot top-ups through the year
- Hardscape cleanup so no slippery bark on walks/driveways
- Plant health and irrigation quick-scan with clear next steps
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
- Fewer weeds — block light at the soil surface where seeds germinate
- Lower water use — mulch reduces evaporation and moderates soil temps
- Healthier roots — cooler in summer, insulated in winter
- Cleaner look — even color + sharp edges = instant curb appeal
- Less erosion — especially on West Seattle’s slopes and alley banks
