Whether you're a homeowner aiming to boost your curb appeal or a property manager striving to maintain neat, low-maintenance grounds, our expert team provides precise, efficient, and environmentally conscious bark spreading.

Why Use Bark Mulch in Your Landscape?

Bark mulch provides much more than just an attractive surface layer. It plays a crucial role in your landscape ecosystem, supporting your plants' growth while keeping your garden looking vibrant and tidy.

1. Retains Moisture for Healthier Plants

Bark mulch creates a protective barrier over the soil, reducing surface evaporation. In the dry summer months of Moses Lake, this moisture retention is especially critical to help your plants stay hydrated and resilient.

2. Controls Weed Growth

A thick layer of bark mulch blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds, drastically reducing their ability to sprout and take root. This keeps your landscape cleaner with less maintenance.

3. Moderates Soil Temperature

Bark mulch acts as insulation, protecting roots from extreme heat in the summer and cold temperatures in the winter. This stable environment promotes healthy root development year-round.

4. Improves Soil Health Over Time

As organic bark mulch decomposes, it enriches the soil with valuable nutrients. This natural process boosts soil fertility and structure, supporting long-term plant health.

5. Enhances Curb Appeal and Property Value

Freshly applied bark mulch gives garden beds, tree bases, and pathways a polished, uniform look. This instantly boosts your property's aesthetics and can even increase its market value.

Our Professional Bark Spreading Process

We believe quality results begin with a thorough, professional process. Here's how we ensure your bark mulch is applied correctly and delivers maximum benefits:

Step 1: Property Evaluation and Consultation

We begin by walking your property to identify areas where bark mulch is most beneficial, such as garden beds, tree rings, and walkways. We then discuss your preferences regarding mulch type, color, and coverage area.

Step 2: Mulch Selection

We offer a range of bark mulch types to suit different goals and aesthetics:

• Natural shredded bark for a clean, organic appearance
  
  
• Dyed bark mulch (available in red, brown, or black) for enhanced color contrast and long-lasting beauty
  
  
• Wood chips and nuggets for areas that need a more rugged, durable mulch
  
  
• Premium organic mulch for flower beds and gardens where nutrient content is a priority
  
  

Step 3: Site Preparation

To ensure long-term results, we prepare the ground by:

• Removing existing weeds and grass
  
  
• Eliminating old, compacted mulch if needed
  
  
• Loosening topsoil for better absorption
  
  
• Applying landscape fabric (optional) for enhanced weed control
  
  

Step 4: Precise Bark Spreading

Our experienced team spreads mulch evenly to a depth of 2 to 4 inches. We:

• Avoid contact with tree trunks or plant stems to prevent rot
  
  
• Rake and level for a smooth, uniform finish
  
  
• Ensure full coverage without over-application
  
  

Step 5: Final Touches and Cleanup

Once installation is complete, we clean up any mulch debris from driveways, sidewalks, and patios. We finish with a final inspection to ensure every inch of your landscape looks perfect.
