SeaTac Mulch & Bark Installation Services

Welcome to the magic of mulch in SeaTac! A simple upgrade can enhance your landscape by blocking weeds, retaining moisture, and beautifying your garden beds swiftly.


What’s the Problem?

Is your SeaTac yard experiencing:

  • Bare, compacted soil that weeds love?
  • Faded or patchy old bark sliding off slopes?
  • Beds that dry out during hot summers and turn into muddy messes in winter?
  • Undefined edges where bark spills into your lawn and hardscape?
  • “Volcano mulching” that suffocates tree trunks and invites pests?

If you recognize these challenges, we have the ideal solution!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan: Your Yard’s Best Friend

Our process is effective and straightforward:

  • Edge & define your beds to keep mulch in place and looking sharp.
  • Begin with a weed pass (hand-pulling and targeted pre-emergent application if needed).
  • Set the correct depth—typically 2–3 inches (we avoid burying crowns or disturbing tree trunks).
  • Conduct an irrigation tune-up to adjust drip lines and timers, ensuring emitters are clear.
  • Use slope control techniques, like pinning or terracing, to hold bark in place on hillsides.

We focus on low-maintenance solutions to minimize issues between visits, allowing you more time to enjoy your garden.


Service Cadences: Choose What Works for You

  • Quarterly — spring/fall deep clean plus two tune-ups for optimal care.
  • Bi-Monthly — the ideal balance for most SeaTac yards, keeping your space tidy and well-maintained.

What Annual Maintenance Includes

By signing up for our service, you can expect:

  • Comprehensive bed prep: raking out debris and creating a clean 4” cut-edge or installing steel edging.
  • Expert installation of your selected mulch—options include hemlock, fir bark, arbor chips, compost cap, or gravel where suitable.
  • Regular depth checks and spot top-ups throughout the year to maintain that ideal look.
  • Hardscape cleanup to prevent slippery bark on walkways and driveways.
  • Quick scans for plant health and irrigation, with clear next steps provided.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Fewer weeds — mulch blocks light, preventing seed germination.
  • Lower water usage — mulch reduces evaporation and stabilizes soil temperatures.
  • Healthier roots — keeps roots cooler in summer and insulated in winter.
  • Cleaner aesthetics — a uniform color and sharp edges elevate curb appeal.
  • Erosion prevention — vital for SeaTac’s slopes and alley banks.
