Variety of Options
Hardwood, cedar, colored mulch, or decorative stone — we carry what works for your landscape.
Fresh Mulch Makes Everything Look Better
Nothing transforms a landscape faster than a fresh layer of mulch. It's one of the simplest and most cost-effective services we offer, but the impact is huge — clean bed edges, rich color contrast against your plants, and that well-maintained look that makes your whole property pop. We install hardwood, cedar, dyed, and decorative stone mulch depending on your preference.
But mulching isn't just about looks. A proper 2-3 inch layer of mulch retains soil moisture, moderates root temperature through Wisconsin's hot summers and cold winters, suppresses weed growth, and breaks down over time to feed your soil. We remove old mulch buildup when needed, edge your beds cleanly, and apply at the right depth — not too thin, not too thick.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mulching
How often should I mulch my beds?
We recommend refreshing mulch once per year, typically in late spring. If your existing mulch is still in good shape, a thin top-up layer is all you need. Every 2-3 years, we recommend removing old mulch buildup before applying fresh.
What type of mulch is best?
Hardwood mulch is our most popular choice — it breaks down slowly, looks great, and enriches the soil. Cedar mulch lasts even longer and has natural insect-repelling properties. Colored mulch holds its look longer but doesn't provide the same soil benefits.
Should mulch touch my tree trunks?
Never! We always pull mulch back 3-4 inches from tree trunks to prevent moisture buildup that can cause rot and disease. Those "mulch volcanos" you see around trees are one of the most common landscaping mistakes.
How much mulch do I need?
We calculate this for you based on your bed square footage and desired depth. As a rough guide, one cubic yard of mulch covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches deep. We'll measure during our estimate visit.
