Professional mulch installation for beautiful, weed-free beds
Call 410-992-8680Mulch is the hardest-working material in your landscape. Professional installation does far more than make beds look neat—it suppresses weeds, retains moisture through hot Maryland summers, moderates soil temperature, and enriches soil as it decomposes.
Blocks sunlight, preventing seed germination. Dramatically reduces weeding needs throughout growing season.
Acts as protective blanket, reducing watering needs by 30-50% during Columbia's hot summers.
Insulates soil, keeping roots cooler in summer and protecting them from freezing in winter.
Absorbs rainfall impact, preventing topsoil washaway and maintaining soil structure.
Fresh mulch provides polished look that distinguishes maintained properties from neglected ones.
Our 39 years installing mulch in Columbia has taught us that proper installation requires more than just dumping material. Type selection, application depth, edge preparation, and technique all affect both appearance and performance.

Call 410-992-8680Most Columbia residential properties (400-800 sq ft of beds) spend $400-900 for complete installation. Pricing includes:
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all costs.
Most properties benefit from annual installation or refresh. Natural hardwood decomposes within 12-18 months. Dyed mulches maintain appearance longer but decompose at similar rates. Annual spring mulching is standard practice. Premium mulches like cedar can wait 18-24 months between applications.
Depends on condition. If less than 1 inch remains, we incorporate it into soil and apply fresh mulch. If beds have 4+ inches from years of layering, we remove excess to prevent problems. Most properties need full removal every 4-5 years with annual top-dressing between.
Natural hardwood and dyed brown are most popular—affordable, effective, traditional appearance. Cedar excels in high-visibility areas. Black suits contemporary landscapes, red complements brick homes. We recommend natural hardwood or dyed brown for main beds with possible cedar accent at front entrance.
Mulch doesn't attract termites but can provide habitat if they're already present. Keep mulch 6 inches from foundation and maintain proper depth (not excessive). Cedar mulch naturally deters termites. Proper installation minimizes any risk while maximizing benefits.
