Seattle Mulch & Bark Installation Services
Welcome to the world of mulch, where a simple upgrade transforms 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.
We proudly serve the neighborhoods of Admiral, Alaska Junction, Alki, Fauntleroy, Arbor Heights, Delridge, Gatewood, High Point, Morgan Junction, and Roxhill—bringing a splash of curb appeal to every corner of Seattle!
What’s the Problem?
Are you struggling with:
- Bare, compacted soil that weeds love to invade?
- Old bark that looks faded, patchy, or is sliding off slopes?
- Beds that dry out every August and 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, we’ve got the perfect solution for you!
Our Annual Maintenance Plan: Your Yard’s Best Friend
Our approach is straightforward and effective:
- Edge & define your beds to ensure mulch stays put and looks sharp.
- Start with a weed pass (hand-pulling and targeted pre-emergent application when necessary).
- 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 hillsides.
We’re all about low-maintenance solutions! Our goal is to minimize problems between visits, leaving you with 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 perfect balance for most Seattle yards, keeping your space tidy and well-maintained.
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.
- 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.
- Quick scans for plant health and irrigation, with clear next steps provided.
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.
- Healthier roots — keeps roots cooler in the summer and insulated in winter.
- Cleaner aesthetics — a uniform color and sharp edges instantly elevate curb appeal.
- Erosion prevention — especially crucial on Seattle’s slopes and alley banks.
