What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Mulching services deliver and spread wood chip, shredded bark, dyed wood, or pine straw mulch in landscape beds to a depth of 2–4 inches. Proper mulching keeps mulch 2–3 inches away from plant stems and tree trunks (volcano mulching causes crown rot and is a leading cause of tree death). Double-ground hardwood bark mulch breaks down slowly and improves soil structure; dyed wood chips last longer but use diverted wood waste that decomposes quickly.

Common questions from clients looking for Mulching services
2–4 inches is the effective range; less than 2 inches allows weeds through; more than 4 inches can prevent water infiltration and cause anaerobic conditions that harm plant roots.
Wood chips on the soil surface may tie up nitrogen in the top inch during decomposition; mixing chips into the soil causes nitrogen depletion. Keep chips on the surface and this effect is minimal.
Calculate cubic yards: length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (in) divided by 324. A 100 sq ft bed at 3 inches deep needs about 1 cubic yard.
Straw or untreated wood chips; avoid dyed mulch near edibles; shredded leaves are an excellent free option that improves soil biology as they decompose.
If existing mulch is less than 1 inch deep and not compressed or matted, new mulch can go directly over it. Thick, matted old mulch should be raked and thinned before adding fresh material.
