Mulching
Rich color. Locked-in moisture. Fewer weeds.
Fresh mulch protects roots, holds moisture, and instantly makes your yard look cared for. We edge the beds, pull weeds, and lay mulch evenly at the right depth.
Why mulching matters.
A fresh layer of mulch is the fastest way to make a whole yard look intentional. It also does real work — insulating roots from Texas heat, cutting watering by up to 50%, and blocking most weed seeds from germinating.
We do beds, tree rings, and around foundation shrubs. Hardwood, cedar, or dyed mulch — whatever look you want.
Most yards need a fresh layer once a year, usually in spring — full install or top-off, whichever your beds actually need.
Every mulching visit.
- Bed edges cleaned & re-defined
- Existing weeds pulled before mulching
- Mulch laid at 2–3 inch depth (best for weed suppression)
- Hardwood, cedar, or dyed mulch — your pick
- Tree rings included in the same visit
- Mulch pulled back off tree trunks (no volcano mulching)
How the job runs.
- 1Measure the beds
Walk the yard, measure square footage, confirm mulch type and color.
- 2Prep the beds
Edge, pull weeds, and rake old mulch smooth. Skipping this step is why cheap mulch jobs look bad in a month.
- 3Install to depth
2–3 inches deep, feathered at the edges, pulled back off trunks and siding.
- 4Clean up
Blow off any mulch that landed on the lawn or hardscape.
When to do it.
Spring (March–April) is prime mulching season in Fort Worth — beds are cleaned up from winter, weeds haven't taken hold yet, and the mulch is in place before summer heat. Fall top-offs are also great for winter root protection.

Questions we hear a lot.
How often should I re-mulch?
Most beds need a top-off once a year — usually in spring after the last freeze. Dyed mulches hold color longer; natural hardwood fades faster but feeds the soil as it breaks down.
Hardwood vs cedar vs dyed?
Hardwood is the classic — cheap, natural, breaks down into soil. Cedar smells great and repels some bugs. Dyed (black or brown) holds color longest but doesn't add as much to the soil. All three work; it's a look preference.
Do I need weed fabric under it?
Usually no. A proper 2–3 inch layer of mulch blocks most weeds on its own, and fabric causes problems long-term (roots grow into it, water runs off). We only recommend fabric for gravel beds.
How much mulch do I need?
Roughly one cubic yard per 100 sq ft of bed at 3 inches deep. We measure and quote — no guessing.
