Let’s be real. Spreading mulch in the Raleigh heat isn’t most people’s idea of a relaxing weekend.
If your yard looks a little tired, or your mulch beds are dry and full of weeds, fresh mulch can make a big difference. It gives your landscape that clean, polished look while helping your plants stay healthy and protected.
The best part? You don’t have to lift a finger.
We’ll deliver the mulch, prep the beds, spread everything clean and even, and leave your yard looking great. No more guessing how much you need, pushing a wheelbarrow around your property, or dealing with leftover mess. Just fast, reliable service from a local team that knows Raleigh yards like the back of our hand.
If you’re ready for a better-looking lawn without spending your weekend covered in dirt, you’re in the right place.
We proudly deliver and install fresh mulch for homeowners throughout the Raleigh area, including:
*These are just some of the areas we serve, not a full list.
Mulch installation is the process of delivering and evenly spreading mulch across landscape beds to improve plant health and yard appearance.
We handle the entire process for you from sourcing and delivering high-quality mulch to prepping your garden beds, spreading it clean and level, and tidying up when we’re done. Whether you prefer hardwood, dyed brown, black, or pine bark mulch, we can help you pick the right option for your style and needs.
Mulching isn’t just for looks either. It helps keep weeds out, locks in soil moisture, protects plant roots, and gives your yard that fresh, finished appearance.

His communication is excellent, and the yard looks great! Nadya KakhovskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We requested the lawn mowing in short notice and weather was not supporting a quick service. Mark was keeping us updated twice a day during the delay time which was much appreciated. When he arrived for the service, all our questions were fully and professionally answered before the start. He gave us very good advices what is needed for our lawn. When he left our yard looked neat and all the extras like edging, picking up debris were done without asking. The pricing was very fair, too. The company is family owned by two brothers, which is heart warming and respectful. We look forward to work with Mark and Jack. THANK YOU, GUYS! Dawn MorganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On The Block has provided excellent lawn mowing services for us. They communicate very well, always letting us know when they'll arrive, if weather requires a delay, and finished photos of their work. Michelle ReillyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would use and recommend On the Block Lawn Care again, as Mark and his Team were professional, on time and did a great job. We hired them to pine straw our property this year (instead of us doing it ourselves). Mark communicated with me often (which is not often found) and did a fantastic job and prices was very fair. Highly recommend.
