Assessment and planning come first. We evaluate sunlight, irrigation, soil texture, slope, and plant types to recommend the right mulch and depth. We calculate volume precisely in cubic yards using area and desired depth, so you get accurate material quantities and consistent coverage.
Preparation includes weed removal, bed redefining, and optional soil amendments such as compost for organic matter. We can apply a targeted pre-emergent (where appropriate) to curb weed germination. Mulch is installed at 2–3 inches, with a 3–6 inch clearance from trunks and plant crowns to protect root flares and promote airflow.
Finishing touches matter: we groom surfaces for a smooth, even appearance, water lightly to settle fibers, and clean hardscapes. You’ll receive care recommendations on irrigation adjustments, re-edging frequency, and refresh timing to maintain color, structure, and performance throughout the season.
