Normandy Park Mulch installation for plazas

In Normandy Park, maintaining a beautiful and functional plaza can be challenging. With our wet climate, it’s essential to have a landscaping solution that is both visually appealing and practical. One effective approach is mulch installation. Mulch serves as a protective layer for the soil, enhances the aesthetic of your plaza, and helps with drainage and weed suppression. By choosing to install mulch, you can improve curb appeal, ensure safety for visitors, promote eco-friendliness, and enjoy low-maintenance landscaping.
