We have a variety of different mulches available.
We have a wide selection of different mulches for you to choose from. Some of the most common types of mulch we install include:
- Hardwood mulch: Hardwood mulch is a particularly beneficial type of mulch because it is quite breathable; it helps to aerate your soil by allowing air to flow through it more easily than other mulches.
- Black mulch: If you have a lot of brightly colored plants in your landscape beds, black mulch would be the perfect choice for a ground cover. The dark background that black mulch provides will make your plants look even more vibrant and beautiful.
- Red mulch: Red mulch definitely attracts the eye and draws attention to your landscape beds with its bright color. If you are looking to make a bolder statement with your landscape beds, red mulch is for you.
- Cedar mulch: Cedar mulch is actually quite effective at repelling insects like cockroaches, termites, and ants; this is because it naturally contains an oil called thujone. Cedar mulch is a great choice if you want a bit of extra help with keeping pests away from your plants.
We install our mulch ground covers with your plants' health in mind.
Mulch ground covers can be incredibly beneficial for your landscape bed plants. However, there is a specific way to install the mulch that allows your plants to receive the maximum benefits. When we install your ground cover, we will keep the layer of mulch about 2 to 3 inches thick. We will also leave an inch of bare soil around the base of your plants. This ensures that the mulch layer is thick enough to provide all of its benefits to your plants, but not so thick that it suffocates them.
We can also install rock ground covers using river rock, crushed brick, buckskin rock, and more!
How often should you schedule our mulch installation service?
We recommend scheduling our mulch installation service at least once a year so we can replenish your mulch. This is due to the fact that mulch decomposes over time. Your mulch decomposing is actually great for your landscape bed plants; as the mulch breaks down, it turns into organic matter that releases nutrients into the soil below it. However, while your mulch breaking down is helpful for your plants, it also means that you should give us a call about once a year to freshen up your supply.
