Mulch Refresh

Professional mulch refresh service in Seattle keeps your landscape beds looking crisp and maintains the soil health that everything else depends on. Our landscaping services include annual or bi-annual mulch application—typically in spring after bed cleanup and again in fall after cutting back perennials—with 2-3 inches of organic compost-based mulch that actually improves your soil as it breaks down. We don't use cheap bark products that steal nitrogen from your plants or landscape fabric that prevents water from reaching roots. Instead, our landscape maintenance crews apply quality soil-building compost or planting mix that feeds beneficial microbes, stabilizes soil temperature through Seattle's wet winters and dry summers, and smothers annual weeds before they germinate. We also know not to pile mulch directly against plant stems and tree trunks where it causes rot—a common mistake that kills more plants in King County than most homeowners realize. Fresh mulch makes your garden beds look intentionally maintained rather than accidentally neglected, which matters when your landscaping is the first thing visitors see.

Old, faded, or sparse mulch isn't just an aesthetic problem—it's a functional failure that costs you money in weed control, water bills, and plant replacement. Our mulch application and delivery services in Seattle understand that mulch breaks down at different rates depending on material type, sun exposure, and how much rain we get each year. Compost-based mulches decompose faster but feed your soil in the process, while bark mulch lasts longer but offers fewer benefits. We help residential landscaping clients choose the right material for each area of their property, then deliver and spread it evenly so your beds get consistent coverage. Professional mulch refresh is essential landscape maintenance that reduces water loss during summer droughts, prevents soil erosion during heavy rain, and gives your property the finished appearance that separates maintained landscapes from neglected ones. Regular mulching also means fewer weeds germinating in the first place, which reduces the labor hours you're paying for later.
