Clean beds, crisp edges, and even coverage—delivered by a pro crew that treats your property like their own.
Double- or triple-shredded hardwood (natural): Classic look, great weed suppression, breaks down to enrich soil—our most popular option for mixed planting beds.
Color-enhanced hardwood (black, brown, red): Uniform color and stronger contrast for curb appeal; modern colorants are typically carbon/iron-oxide based and inert once cured.
Cedar/hemlock blends: Light color, aromatic, naturally resistant to decay; a good pick near foundations or where you prefer a lighter tone.
Pine bark/chips: Chunkier texture that resists washout on slopes and around shrubs and trees.
Leaf/compost top-dress: Nutrient boost and soil improvement around perennials and vegetable beds (often under a light hardwood cap for a finished look).
The best time to schedule mulching is early in spring or fall when plants are ready for a fresh layer. Consider scheduling a refresh after heavy storms or when prepping your property for events or sale. Send us a message or call for an estimate and discover how simple it is to get started. Our team will answer all your questions and make scheduling convenient and stress free.
• Weed suppression: Proper depth and clean edges reduce sunlight to weed seeds.
• Moisture retention: Helps keep root zones cooler and moist between rains.
• Soil health: Organic mulches slowly improve soil structure as they break down.
• Temperature moderation: Buffers roots from heat and winter temperature swings.
• Curb appeal: Fresh, even color and clean edges make beds pop.
Quick formula: Yards needed = (Square feet × depth in inches) ÷ 324.
Example: 600 sq ft at 3″ depth → 600 × 3 ÷ 324 = 5.6 yd³ (round to 6 yd³).
Tip: Plan 5–10% extra for edges and settling. During quotes, we verify measurements for you.

Straight answers to the most common questions homeowners ask before scheduling mulch installation in Montco.
We install double- or triple-shredded hardwood (natural or color-enhanced), cedar/hemlock blends, pine bark, and leaf/compost mixes. Choice depends on your goals:
We’ll recommend a mulch that matches your plantings, slope, sunlight, and maintenance preferences.
Yes—we measure beds during your quote. To estimate yourself, use:
Yards needed = (Square feet × depth in inches) ÷ 324
Example: 600 sq ft at 3″ depth → 600 × 3 ÷ 324 = 5.6 yd³ (round up to 6 yd³). Plan an extra 5–10% for edging and settling. Typical depths: 3″ on bare soil, 2″ for a refresh.
Our standard installation includes bed clean-out (sticks/leaves), targeted weed removal, crisp trench edging (about 2–3″ deep), and a smooth grade before we spread mulch. On request, we can apply a pre-emergent to reduce new weed germination. We avoid plastic sheeting and rarely recommend landscape fabric under organic mulch in planting beds because it impedes soil health and weeds often root on top of it anyway.
Most landscape beds perform best at a total depth of 2–3″. We keep mulch 3–6″ away from trunks and stems, exposing the tree’s root flare—no “mulch volcanoes.” Around perennials, we spread lightly so crowns can breathe, and we rake a uniform finish for clean lines and good drainage.
Plan on a light top-off (1–2″) each year to maintain coverage and color, and a fuller replenishment every 1–2 seasons depending on sun and foot traffic. If your beds are already at the proper depth, we’ll focus on edging, weed control, and color refresh rather than piling on excess material.
Modern colorants are typically carbon- and iron-oxide–based and are considered inert once cured. Color longevity depends on sun exposure and rainfall, but you can expect a season of strong color, often 9–12 months. We avoid spreading right before heavy rain so the color can set; a light post-install watering helps settle the fibers without streaking.
Wood mulch doesn’t attract termites, but any constantly damp area can suit insects. Keep mulch levels modest and leave a clearance strip near foundations. For pest-sensitive zones, cedar blends and proper bed grading help. We spread for drainage—not damming—so water moves through the bed instead of pooling against hardscapes or the house.
We can remove excess or degraded mulch when beds are too high or matted, then reset depth before installing fresh material. For planting beds, we generally do not recommend fabric beneath organic mulch because it can restrict gas exchange and create issues over time. In rock or non-plant areas, a breathable barrier can make sense—we’ll advise case-by-case.
Early spring (after the soil warms) is ideal for weed suppression and moisture retention going into summer. Fall mulching protects roots and helps plants overwinter. We schedule around extended heavy rain so beds finish clean, with optional spring pre-emergent at your request.
A typical visit includes measuring and estimating yardage, bed clean-out, trench edging, weed removal, delivery of bulk mulch, professional spreading/raking to the correct depth, and hardscape cleanup. Pricing is based on cubic yards installed plus the level of prep work (edging, weed pressure, removal of excess/old mulch), access, and total volume. Minimums may apply. We serve clients across Montgomery County—King of Prussia, Norristown, Ardmore, Plymouth Meeting, Wayne, and beyond. Request a quote and we’ll give you a clear written estimate and schedule the earliest available date.
