Benefits of Mulch

Most bark mulch should be refreshed every 2–4 years depending on material type and site conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mulch do you recommend?
Medium bark is one of the most popular choices for landscape beds because it provides a natural appearance, suppresses weeds, and lasts several years. Cedar chips are also popular for decorative areas and dog runs.
How much mulch should be installed?
Most landscape beds perform best with approximately 2–4 inches of mulch, depending on existing conditions.
What is the difference between mulch and wood chips?
Mulch is processed specifically for landscape beds and breaks down more uniformly. Wood chips are coarser and are commonly used on trails, natural areas, and around trees.
When should mulch be replaced?
Most bark mulch should be refreshed every few years as it naturally decomposes.
Do you install landscape fabric?
Yes. When appropriate, we install commercial-grade landscape fabric beneath gravel or mulch to help reduce weed growth.
What type of gravel is best?
The best material depends on the application. Pea gravel works well for decorative areas, while crushed rock provides a firmer walking surface. Drain rock is commonly used where water management is important.
How much do mulch or gravel projects cost?
Pricing depends on material selection, quantity, access, preparation work, and installation requirements. We provide fixed-price proposals following a site evaluation.
Can you install materials we already purchased?
Yes. We can install customer-supplied materials if requested.
