Seattle River rock mulch installation

Installing river rock mulch in your landscape can be a game-changer for your property. Not only does it enhance curb appeal, but it also provides safety benefits, is eco-friendly, and requires minimal maintenance. If you’re looking for a stylish yet practical solution to your landscaping needs, river rock mulch is an excellent choice.


Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

When you opt for river rock mulch installation, you can expect a comprehensive service that includes:

  • Site Assessment: We’ll evaluate your garden beds and landscape areas to determine the best approach for river rock installation.
  • Preparation: This involves removing existing mulch, weeds, or debris, and leveling the soil for optimal drainage.
  • Weed Barrier Installation: We can lay down landscape fabric to prevent weed growth beneath the river rock, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance.

Key Benefits

  • Appearance: River rock mulch adds an elegant touch to your garden, creating a polished and cohesive look that enhances your home’s exterior.
