Mercer Island Mulch & Bark Installation Services
Welcome to your go-to source for mulch magic! A well-executed mulch installation can do wonders for your landscape on Mercer Island—think of it as a stylish outfit for your garden that not only looks good but also fights off weeds, retains moisture, and protects those precious roots.
What’s the Problem?
Is your garden struggling with:
- Weeds overtaking bare, compacted soil?
- Old, faded bark that’s lost its charm or is tumbling down slopes?
- Beds that become deserts in the summer and swamps in the winter?
- Blurry edges where your lawn meets the beds, creating chaos?
- “Volcano mulching” that suffocates tree trunks and invites pests?
If you can relate, we have the perfect remedy!
Our Annual Maintenance Plan: Your Yard’s Best Friend
Here’s how we elevate your landscape:
- Edge & define your garden beds, giving them a sharp, clean look that keeps mulch where it belongs.
- Begin with a thorough weed pass, using hand-pulling and targeted pre-emergent treatments when necessary.
- Apply mulch at the correct depth—typically 2–3 inches—to ensure it works its best (we avoid burying crowns or damaging tree trunks).
- Conduct an irrigation tune-up to ensure your drip lines are clear and timers are functioning, making sure water reaches the roots.
- Use slope control techniques like pinning or terracing to keep mulch where it should be, especially on those beautiful Mercer Island hills.
We’re all about making your life easier! Our goal is to reduce the hassle between our visits, giving you more time to enjoy your garden sanctuary.
Service Cadences: Choose What Works for You

- Bi-Monthly — perfect for most Mercer Island homes, striking a balance between care and convenience.
What Annual Maintenance Includes
Here’s the scoop on what you’ll receive when you join our service:
- Comprehensive bed prep: Clearing debris and creating a crisp 4” cut-edge or installing steel edging for durability.
- Expert installation of your selected mulch—whether it’s hemlock, fir bark, arbor chips, or even a gravel cap where needed.
- Regular depth checks and spot top-ups throughout the year to maintain that fresh look.
- Hardscape cleanup to ensure no bark is causing slips on your walkways or driveways.
- Quick health scans for your plants and irrigation, with simple next steps provided.
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
- Fewer weeds — mulch blocks light to prevent weed seeds from sprouting.
- Lower water usage — reduces evaporation and stabilizes soil temperatures.
- Healthier roots — keeps roots cooler in summer and insulated during winter.
