Mulch spreading
Your delivered mulch spread evenly in beds and around trees at the right depth.
What it is
Your mulch, spread evenly and pulled back from the stems.
You buy the mulch and have it delivered or bagged; we spread it. Two to three inches deep across the beds, raked even, pulled a couple of inches back from stems, trunks and siding, with spilled mulch swept off the lawn and the walk.
If the beds haven't been cleaned, book Spring bed cleanup first or in the same window; mulch over weeds just hides them for a month.
When to book it
After spring bed cleanup, once the soil has warmed, usually May. Order mulch for the day before the window opens.

Opens spring
Tell me the day it opens.
Prices get set when the season starts and depend on crew in your area. Leave your email and you'll be first to know. No spam, nothing else.
A cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 inches. Measure the beds, add them up, and round up a little.
No. That needs a truck and a supplier account, and it would double the price. Most garden centers and the big-box stores deliver.
Coming spring
We'll email you the day it opens.
Seasons is new and we are still recruiting teens in some neighborhoods. If nobody near you can take your window, we tell you that day and nothing is charged.
