Mulch Installation and Renewal
Moisture control, weed suppression, and soil health
Mulch does far more than make beds look finished. A properly installed layer moderates soil temperature, reduces evaporation, suppresses weeds, prevents erosion, and protects roots from mower and trimmer damage. We install mulch at an optimal 2–3 inch depth to deliver these benefits without smothering roots, leaving a clear gap around trunks and stems to prevent rot and pests—no mulch volcanoes, ever.
Material selection matters. We offer premium shredded hardwood, pine bark, pine straw, cedar, cypress, and color-enhanced mulches with safe, water-based dyes, plus stone where appropriate. Shredded materials interlock to resist wind displacement, pine products lightly acidify soil for acid-loving shrubs, and stone with landscape fabric is reserved for specific, low-organic beds. Upon request, we can apply a pre-emergent under mulch to reduce new weed germination.
Right plant, right place—and long-term vigor
Healthy shrubs start with thoughtful selection and correct planting. We evaluate light exposure, drainage, soil texture and pH, mature size, and airflow to choose species and cultivars that fit both the site and your aesthetic. Planting includes careful root inspection and correction of circling roots, setting the root flare at or just above grade, backfilling with existing soil (amended only as needed), and establishing a deep-watering schedule to promote strong root systems.
Long-term care blends structural pruning, nutrition, and monitoring. We prioritize thinning cuts to enhance form and airflow, time pruning to respect bloom cycles, and use rejuvenation techniques for overgrown plants when appropriate. Fertilization follows soil testing, irrigation is calibrated for seasonal needs, and mulch rings are maintained to keep stems clear and reduce competition. Integrated pest and disease management focuses on prevention, early detection, and least-toxic solutions.
From on-site assessment to spotless cleanup
Every project begins with a detailed walkthrough to align on goals, styles, and budgets. We map bed lines, discuss edging options (natural cut, steel, aluminum, or paver), check irrigation coverage, and note drainage concerns. You’ll receive a clear scope of work and schedule, including plant lists, mulch types, and maintenance recommendations.
Site preparation is meticulous: we clear unwanted growth, establish crisp bed edges, amend soil as needed with compost for structure and biology, and install or adjust drip lines where beneficial. Mulch is evenly applied at the correct depth, pulled back from trunks and stems, and feathered to avoid water-shedding layers. We finish with a full cleanup, hardscape blow-off, and debris haul-away.
To keep beds performing, we suggest top-dressing mulch annually by 0.5–1 inch (rather than overfilling) and refreshing edges for definition. Shrubs benefit from seasonal checkups for pruning, pest scouting, and irrigation tuning. Safety and professionalism guide our work—utility locates before digging, labeled materials, and clear communication from start to finish.
