Mulching
Fresh mulch, laid the right way. We supply the mulch, weed the beds and cut clean edges, for homes and businesses across our New Jersey service area. One-time jobs, no contract.
Weeding and edging included
Mulch on top of weeds doesn't last. Every mulching job starts with weeding the beds and cutting a clean edge, so the new mulch looks sharp and stays where it belongs.
Never a mulch volcano
Rutgers guidance says a mulch layer should never be more than three inches deep and should never touch the trunk of a tree. Mulch piled against the trunk, the 'volcano' you see in a lot of yards, invites disease and bad root growth. We spread it flat, like a doughnut, with the trunk left clear.
We bring the mulch
You don't have to order a truckload and leave it on the driveway. We supply the mulch and spread it.
Forestry mulching is different
Clearing brush and small trees by grinding them into mulch on site is forestry mulching. That's part of our land clearing work. See Land Clearing for forestry mulching.
What mulch does for your beds
A proper layer of mulch holds moisture in the soil, keeps weeds down and evens out soil temperature through hot and cold spells. It also gives every bed a finished, kept look.
Mulch around trees, done right
We take down and trim trees for a living, so we know what mulch piled against a trunk does over time. Around trees we spread a flat ring and leave the trunk clear.
Business entrances and parking lot islands
Beds at office entrances, storefronts and parking lot islands get weeded, edged and freshly mulched. We mulch for businesses in every county we serve.
Pair it with hedge trimming
Mulching can be done the same day as hedge trimming, tree work or our other services, unless it is a very big job. Trimmed hedges and fresh beds finish a property together.

How much mulch is too much
Rutgers' 'Using Mulch Properly' guide says the mulch layer should never exceed three inches and should never touch a tree's trunk. The guide warns that mulch against the trunk invites disease, fungus and bad root growth. We spread it to the right depth and pull it back from trunks and stems.
Mulch through a New Jersey summer
Dry stretches in July and August are hard on new plantings and shallow-rooted shrubs. A mulch layer at the right depth keeps more water in the soil, so beds need less watering and hold up better through the heat.
