Polished Landscapes That Protect and Perform

Why Mulching &
Barking Matter

Over time, landscape beds lose color and structure. A fresh layer of mulch or bark instantly restores order and vitality.

Each installation is tailored to your property’s soil, plant type, and layout to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep your landscape thriving through every season. Our Green Truck Promise means uniformed crews arrive on time and complete your project with care and professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to Know Before Your Mulching or Barking Service

  • Most landscapes benefit from fresh mulch or bark once a year. Material naturally breaks down or fades over time, and an annual refresh keeps your beds protected, polished, and healthy.

  • Mulch offers a darker, richer appearance and breaks down to improve soil quality, making it ideal for garden beds and new plantings. Bark lasts longer and has a natural, textured finish that works well for established shrubs and low-maintenance landscapes.

  • During your consultation, we assess your soil type, plant variety, and landscape design. Based on that, we recommend mulch or bark that supports plant health and gives your property the look you prefer.

  • Material quantity depends on the size of your beds and the proper installation depth. We measure your landscape during the consultation and include exact quantities in your detailed estimate.

  • No. As long as we have access to your landscape beds, our crews can complete the installation. Any notes or preferences can be added to your account before the visit.

  • Every installation includes even material distribution, precise edging, and complete cleanup. Our crews arrive in branded green trucks and leave your beds refreshed, protected, and ready to enjoy.
