Mulch Installation

Sharp edges, even depth, no overflow on the walks.

The Approach

Mulch is the cheapest visual upgrade your property gets all year, and the most commonly botched. We hand-edge every bed before any product hits the ground, pull weeds and old debris, lay product to a consistent depth, and keep mulch off the trunks of trees (where it kills them slowly). Decorative stone and rubber alternatives available for low-maintenance applications.

Scope of Work

What’s included.

Specifics, not generics. If it’s not on this list and you need it, ask — we likely do it.

  • Premium hardwood, dyed, or natural mulch (your choice)
