Q: What kind of mulch do you use?
A: We can get any kind of mulch you want. The industry standard and most economical is the doubled shredded hardwood mulch. It is naturally brown in color. Another popular choice is the dyed hardwood mulch. It is a little more expensive but will not fade in color over time like the natural mulch does. The dyed hardwood mulch comes in Black, Brown, and Red.
Q: Can we hire you for mulch only?
A: Yes! We will give you an itemized quote on any service you need.
Q: What is edging?
A: The area where the mulch meets the lawn, walk, patio, driveway, etc. is dug out with an edging spade. This is done to hold the mulch in place and for a clean professional look.
Q: How much do you charge for mulch?
A: We will need to come out and measure your beds to figure out how much mulch is needed. The price per yard will be determined by several things including: amount of edging, weeds and debris in beds, type of mulch, accessibility, etc.Q: How thick do you spread the mulch?
A: On well maintained beds an inch to an inch and a half is good. On new beds or beds that haven't been mulched in a few years two to two and a half inches is good. Mulch is decorative, there is no nutritional value, spreading it thick will not stop weeds, or be good for your plant material. We will spread it as thick as you want but more mulch equals more money.
Q: How do you get rid of weeds?
A: The only way to keep weeds under control is regular weeding! Every week or every two weeks is good. We can give you a quote for regular weeding service after a clean-up, edging and mulching have been done.

Q: How quickly can you do it?
A: We can usually start a job three to five business days after it is scheduled. We schedule all work when we receive a signed contract and a third of the quote total as a down payment.
