Frequently Asked Questions
How much mulch should be installed?
Most garden beds benefit from approximately 3 inches of mulch. This depth provides good weed suppression while allowing water and air to reach plant roots.
Do you remove weeds first?
Yes. We manually remove weeds and prepare the garden beds before installing mulch.
Which mulch is best?
Medium bark is our most popular choice because it provides excellent weed suppression and lasts longer than finer mulches. Cedar chips are a great option for natural weed suppression and decorative areas, while compost is ideal for improving soil health.
Can you refresh existing mulch?
Yes. We regularly top off older mulch, redefine bed edges, and remove weeds to keep landscapes looking fresh.
