Capitol Hill Mulch & Bark Installation Services

Welcome to the world of mulch in Capitol Hill! A well-executed mulch installation can quickly transform your landscape, blocking weeds, retaining moisture, protecting roots, and enhancing the beauty of your garden beds all year round.


What’s the Problem?

Are you facing:

  • Weeds thriving in bare, compacted soil?
  • Old, faded bark that’s sliding down your garden slopes?
  • Dry beds in summer and muddy messes in winter?
  • Undefined edges where bark spreads into your lawn?
  • “Volcano mulching” that suffocates tree trunks and invites pests?

If you can relate, we have the ideal solution!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan: Your Yard’s Best Friend

Our method is simple yet effective:

  • Edge & define your beds to maintain neatness and prevent mulch displacement.
  • Begin with a weed pass—hand-pulling weeds and applying targeted pre-emergents as needed.
  • Set the correct depth—typically 2–3 inches (we avoid burying crowns or disturbing tree trunks).
  • Conduct an irrigation tune-up post-mulching to ensure emitters are clear and functional.
  • Utilize slope control techniques, such as pinning or terracing, to keep mulch in place on Capitol Hill’s hillsides.

Our low-maintenance solutions aim to minimize issues between visits, allowing you to enjoy your garden more!


Service Cadences: Choose What Works for You

  • Quarterly — Spring and fall deep clean plus two tune-ups for peak care.
  • Bi-Monthly — Ideal for most Capitol Hill yards, keeping your space tidy and well-maintained.

What Annual Maintenance Includes

With our service, you can expect:

  • Thorough bed prep: raking out debris and creating a clean 4” cut-edge or installing steel edging.
  • Professional installation of your chosen mulch—options include hemlock, fir bark, arbor chips, or gravel where needed.
  • Regular depth checks and timely top-ups throughout the year to maintain that perfect appearance.
  • Hardscape cleanup to remove any bark from walkways and driveways, ensuring safety.
  • Quick assessments for plant health and irrigation, with actionable next steps provided.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Fewer weeds — Mulch blocks light at the soil surface, preventing seed germination.
  • Lower water usage — Mulch minimizes evaporation and stabilizes soil temperatures.
  • Healthier roots — Keeps roots cooler in summer and insulated in winter.
  • Improved curb appeal — Uniform color and sharp edges enhance your property’s look.
  • Erosion prevention — Crucial for Capitol Hill’s slopes and alley banks.
