Kent Mulch & Bark Installation Services
Welcome to the enchanting world of mulch, where a simple upgrade can transform your landscape into a beautiful oasis! Well-placed mulch not only blocks weeds but also retains moisture, protects roots, and enhances the overall beauty of your garden beds faster than you can say “spring renewal.”
What’s the Problem?
Are you facing any of these common garden dilemmas?
- Bare, compacted soil that weeds seem to love?
- Old bark that’s faded, patchy, or sliding down slopes?
- Beds that dry out every August and turn into muddy messes come January?
- Undefined edges where mulch bleeds into your lawn and hardscape?
- “Volcano mulching” that suffocates tree trunks and invites pests?
If you’re nodding along, we’ve got the perfect solution for you!
Our Annual Maintenance Plan: Your Yard’s Best Friend
Our approach is simple yet effective, tailored just for Kent’s unique climate and soil conditions:
- Edge & define your beds to keep mulch in place and looking sharp.
- Begin with a weed pass (hand-pulling and targeted pre-emergent application when necessary) to ensure a fresh start.
- Set the correct depth—typically 2–3 inches (we never bury crowns or touch tree trunks).
- Perform an irrigation tune-up to adjust drip lines and timers after mulching, ensuring emitters aren’t smothered.
- Implement slope control techniques, like pinning or terracing, to keep bark securely in place on those beautiful Kent hillsides.
We’re all about low-maintenance solutions! Our goal is to minimize problems between visits, leaving you with more time to enjoy your stunning garden.
Service Cadences: Choose What Works for You
- Quarterly — spring/fall deep clean plus two tune-ups for optimal care.

What Annual Maintenance Includes
When you sign up for our service, here’s what you can expect:
- Comprehensive bed prep: raking out debris and creating a clean 4” cut-edge or installing steel edging to define your landscape.
- Expert installation of your chosen mulch—be it hemlock, fir bark, arbor chips, compost cap, or gravel where appropriate.
- Regular depth checks and spot top-ups throughout the year to maintain that perfect look.
- Hardscape cleanup to eliminate any slippery bark on walkways and driveways for safety.
- Quick scans for plant health and irrigation, with clear next steps provided to keep everything thriving.
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
- Fewer weeds — mulch blocks light at the soil surface, preventing seed germination.
- Lower water usage — mulch reduces evaporation and stabilizes soil temperatures, saving you money on watering.
- Healthier roots — keeps roots cooler in the summer and insulated in winter, promoting robust plant growth.
- Cleaner aesthetics — a uniform color and sharp edges instantly elevate curb appeal, making your neighbors envious!
- Erosion prevention — especially crucial on Kent’s slopes and alley banks, protecting your property from runoff.
