Homeowner’s Guide to Puyallup Custom Mulch Services

A simple guide for Puyallup homeowners on choosing the right custom mulch to enhance the look, health, and sustainability of your garden.

A Homeowner’s Guide to Custom Mulch Options

Hello, Puyallup homeowners! I’m Mr. Lee, here to help you understand how different types of mulch can enhance and protect your garden. Whether you prefer a natural look or a splash of color, my custom mulch options cater to your style and the local climate.

Cedar Bark Mulch

  • Natural Fragrance & Pest Deterrent: Offers a pleasant aroma and helps keep pests away.
  • Moisture Retention: Keeps soil moist during our dry summer months.
  • Visual Appeal: Adds a warm, textured finish to flower beds and shrub borders.

Pine Bark Mulch

  • Durability: Lasts through several seasons due to slow decomposition.
  • Soil Benefits: Enriches garden soil as it breaks down.
  • Temperature Regulation: Helps keep roots warm in winter and cool in summer.

Hardwood Mulch

  • Neat Appearance: Provides dense, even coverage for a tidy look.
  • Long-Lasting: Reduces the need for frequent reapplications.
  • Versatile Use: Great for large garden beds, around trees, or hedges.

Dyed Mulch

  • Colorful Options: Available in reds, browns, or blacks to match your home’s style.
  • Combined Benefits: Offers moisture control and weed suppression with added color.
  • Color Retention: High-quality dyes stay vibrant despite our rainy weather.

Wood Chip Mulch

  • Cost-Effective: An affordable option for covering larger areas.
  • Natural Look: Blends well with both formal and informal garden spaces.
  • Weed Prevention: Limits weed growth by blocking sunlight from the soil.

How Mulch Benefits Your Home Garden

  • Retains Soil Moisture: Reduces evaporation, meaning less frequent watering.
  • Blocks Weeds: A thick layer of mulch prevents many weeds from taking root.
  • Improves Soil Quality: Breaks down over time, adding organic matter to your soil.
  • Insulates Roots: Protects plant roots from temperature extremes.
