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.

Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

Our decorative rock mulch installation includes several key tasks:

• Site Preparation: Clearing the area of existing mulch, weeds, and debris.
• Soil Assessment: Checking for drainage issues and soil quality.
• Fabric Installation: Laying down landscape fabric to prevent weed growth.
• Rock Placement: Spreading decorative rocks evenly across the designated area.
• Final Touches: Cleaning up the worksite and ensuring everything looks neat and tidy.

Key Benefits

1. Appearance: Decorative rock mulch enhances your landscape with a clean, polished look. Available in various colors and sizes, it can complement your home’s exterior and boost curb appeal.

4. Eco-Friendly: Using local stone reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting materials, making it a more sustainable choice.
