full service mulching

Tree Mulching

Mulching around trees provides a variety of benefits. Perhaps most important, mulch helps retain moisture in the soil, reducing the need for frequent watering. This is particularly helpful during dry spells or in areas with limited rainfall. It acts as a barrier that slows down evaporation, keeping the soil consistently moist. Mulch helps regulate the temperature of the soil around the tree’s roots. It keeps the soil cooler in summer by preventing direct sunlight and warming in winter. It also suppresses weed growth, improves soil with some organic matter, promoting a healthier soil ecosystem. Finally, mulch helps prevent soil erosion, particularly in areas where heavy rainfall or wind can wash away topsoil. And it looks nice, presenting a neat, clean, well-maintained look.

Bed Mulching

Mulching is an essential technique for maintaining a healthy landscape. By covering garden beds, you can significantly reduce weed growth, which not only saves time but also conserves moisture in the soil. This moisture retention promotes deeper root growth and enhances resilience against drought. Certain types of mulch, too, such as cedar mulch, contain natural oils that act as a deterrent for insects like termites, ants, and mosquitoes. This can help reduce pest problems.Additionally, organic mulches enrich the soil as they break down, improving its structure and nutrient content. Ultimately, effective mulching contributes to vibrant and thriving plant and flower beds.

tree & shrub planting

Tree Planting

Tree planting is more than just placing a sapling in the ground. Selecting the appropriate tree species is vital. Factors like the tree’s size at maturity, root system, and water and sunlight requirements will be taken into account. We begin by assessing the site to ensure the chosen tree species will thrive in the local soil and climate conditions. Our team carefully considers factors such as sunlight, water availability, and space for growth to select the perfect spot. Once the site is prepared, we dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper, ensuring the tree is planted at the correct depth. We then gently position the tree, back-fill with nutrient-rich soil, and create a water basin to support its initial growth. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.Post-planting, we provide guidance on watering schedules and maintenance to ensure the tree's healthy development.

Shrub Planting

Shrub planting is an essential component of creating a vibrant and sustainable outdoor space. Shrubs are not just decorative elements; they play a crucial role in enhancing the aesthetic appeal and ecological balance of any landscape. When we approach shrub planting, we consider factors such as soil type, sunlight exposure, and climate to ensure that each plant thrives in its environment. Our team of experts work with our customers to carefully selects a variety of shrubs that complement the existing landscape, while focusing on creating a harmonious blend of colors, textures, and heights to add depth and dimension to your yard. Additionally, shrubs offer practical benefits such as erosion control, privacy screening, and habitat for local wildlife.
