What Is Mulch Installation?

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.

  • Instantly improves curb appeal
