The best organic mulch is local and affordable.
- All natural, with no dyes or chipped wooden pallets, just clean, hand-sorted green waste.
- Varied, like the forest floor, with a mix of arbor chip and fresh ramial chipped wood (recently living green material that breaks down quickly and adds a shot of nitrogen to the soil). A sort of micro composting every time you mulch.
- Cheaper than commercial mulch. More than our waste – it’s local hand-screened gold.
The best organic mulch is applied correctly.
- First, we chop down aggressive weeds and address any grading issues.
- Then we install the minimum proper depth of 3–6 inches. Every inch helps with moisture retention and weed suppression.
- We make sure the plant crowns / tree trunks remain clear for plant health.
- We create Mulch Moats© to keep walkways clean and plants in bounds.
- Once we’ve mulched an area, we offer a discounted package to keep it refreshed on an agreed-upon schedule.
