Bellevue Mulch & Bark Installation Services

Welcome to the fantastic world of mulch, where a simple upgrade can completely transform your landscape! Well-placed mulch not only blocks weeds, but it also retains moisture, protects roots, and enhances the overall beauty of your garden beds in no time.


What’s the Problem?

Are you facing any of these common garden struggles?

  • Bare, compacted soil that weeds love to invade?
  • Old bark looking faded, patchy, or sliding off slopes?
  • Dry beds every August that turn into muddy messes in January?
  • Undefined edges where bark bleeds into your lawn and hardscape?
  • “Volcano mulching” that chokes tree trunks and invites pests?

If you nodded along, don’t worry—we have the perfect solution for you!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan: Your Yard’s Best Friend

Our approach is straightforward and effective, tailored specifically for Bellevue’s unique climate and soil conditions:

  • Edge & Define: We’ll give your beds a sharp, clean edge, ensuring the mulch stays put and your garden looks immaculate.
  • Weed Pass: Starting with a thorough weed removal, we hand-pull and apply targeted pre-emergent treatments when necessary.
  • Correct Depth: We ensure the mulch depth is just right—typically 2–3 inches—never burying crowns or touching tree trunks for optimal growth.
  • Irrigation Tune-Up: After mulching, we’ll adjust your drip lines and timers to make sure the emitters are clear and functioning well.
  • Slope Control Techniques: We implement effective strategies like pinning or terracing to keep the bark securely in place on hillsides.

Our mission? Low-maintenance solutions that minimize problems between visits, giving you more time to enjoy your beautiful garden.


Service Cadences: Choose What Works for You

  • Quarterly: A spring/fall deep clean plus two tune-ups throughout the year for optimal care.
  • Bi-Monthly: Perfect for most Bellevue yards, keeping your space tidy and well-maintained without overwhelming you.

What Annual Maintenance Includes

When you sign up for our service, here’s what you can expect:

  • Comprehensive Bed Prep: We’ll rake out debris and create a clean 4” cut-edge, or even install steel edging for that polished look.
  • Expert Installation: Whether you prefer hemlock, fir bark, arbor chips, compost cap, or gravel, we’ve got you covered!
  • Regular Depth Checks: Throughout the year, we make sure your mulch looks great and stays at the perfect depth with spot top-ups as needed.
  • Hardscape Cleanup: We’ll remove any slippery bark from walkways and driveways, ensuring safety and cleanliness.
  • Quick Plant Health Scans: We’ll keep an eye on your plants and irrigation, providing you with clear next steps to ensure their continued health.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Fewer Weeds: Mulch blocks light at the soil surface, effectively preventing weed seed germination.
  • Lower Water Usage: Conserves moisture and stabilizes soil temperatures, making your garden more resilient.
  • Healthier Roots: Keeps roots cooler in the summer and insulated in the winter, promoting robust growth.
  • Cleaner Aesthetics: A uniform color and crisp edges instantly elevate your home’s curb appeal.
  • Erosion Prevention: Especially crucial for Bellevue’s slopes and alley banks, protecting your property from washouts.

How It Works: Simple and Straightforward

  1. Free Estimate: We’ll assess your needs through a photo/video or a quick walkthrough, providing clear, upfront pricing.
  2. Set Your Schedule: Choose a frequency that fits your lifestyle—quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly.
