Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

A custom-colored mulch installation service generally includes:

  • Site Assessment: We evaluate your garden layout and soil conditions to determine the best type and color of mulch.

  • Installation: Custom-colored mulch is spread evenly across your garden beds, typically at a depth of 2-4 inches for optimal benefits.
  • Finishing Touches: Edging is done to create a clean boundary between your garden and lawn, ensuring a polished look.

Key Benefits

  • Appearance: Custom-colored mulch enhances the aesthetic of your garden, making it more visually appealing and vibrant.
  • Durability: High-quality mulch can last longer than traditional options, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
