Seattle Decorative Rock Mulch Installation
If you’re looking to improve your yard’s appearance while making it easier to maintain, installing decorative rock mulch is a fantastic solution. In Seattle’s often rainy climate, traditional mulch can wash away and require frequent replacement. Decorative rock mulch, however, is durable, eco-friendly, and adds a polished look to your landscape. Here, we’ll walk you through the installation process, its benefits, and why it’s a smart choice for homeowners and small property managers alike.
