There’s nothing like a neatly trimmed, well-mulched landscape to improve the curb appeal of your home. Mulch is highly beneficial, keeping your plants healthy and enhancing the curb appeal of your landscape beds. Pro-Mow offers double-shredded hardwood mulch in three assorted colors: black, brown, and regular. Black mulch will add contrast and make your plants stand out, and brown and regular colored will provide more earthy tones that complement your landscape beds. You can’t go wrong with whichever you choose.
Our process includes removal of weeds, leaves, and debris from existing mulched areas. Edges will be redefined to provide a neat and distinct division between turf and mulch. Application of granular pre-emergent weed control will be applied to all mulched areas and installation of premium grade; double shredded hardwood mulch will be spread at a consistent 2.5” depth.
Whether Spring, Summer or Fall, mulching is one of the most important ways to maintain healthy landscaped plants, shrubs and flowers. The finished look mulch provides will transform your lawn into a work of art! We’ve been mulching for over 30 years and would love to bring our expertise and excellent work to your yard.

Q: What is mulch?
A: Mulch is a layer of material, such as organic matter (e.g., wood chips, straw, leaves) or inorganic materials (e.g., rubber, gravel), placed on the soil surface around plants. It serves various purposes, including weed suppression, moisture retention, and temperature regulation.
Q: Why is mulching important?
A: Mulching provides benefits, including suppressing weed growth, conserving soil moisture, moderating soil temperature, preventing soil erosion, and enhancing the overall aesthetics of a garden. It also contributes to soil health by adding organic matter as it breaks down.
Q: When is the best time to apply mulch?
A: Mulch can be applied at any time of the year, but it is often best to apply it in late spring or early summer when the soil has warmed up. This helps retain soil moisture during the warmer months and suppress weed growth. Additionally, mulching in the fall can insulate the soil and protect plant roots from temperature extremes.
Q: How thick should mulch be applied?
A: The recommended thickness of mulch depends on the type of material used. Pro-Mow spreads a consistent 2.5 inches of mulch to all beds. Too much mulch may lead to problems like reduced air exchange in the soil, while too little may not provide the desired benefits.
Q: How does mulch suppress weeds?
A: Mulch creates a physical barrier that prevents weed seeds from reaching the soil and germinating. Additionally, mulches, particularly organic types, can inhibit weed growth by blocking sunlight and providing competition for resources.
Q: Can mulch attract pests or diseases?
A: While mulch itself doesn’t attract pests or diseases, it can provide hiding places for certain insects. Proper mulch application, avoiding contact with plant stems, can help minimize such issues. Using well-composted organic mulches can also reduce the risk of introducing diseases.
Q: How often should mulch be replenished?
A: Mulch should be replenished as needed, typically on an annual basis. Organic mulches break down over time, losing volume and effectiveness. Replenishing the mulch layer helps maintain its benefits and appearance in the garden.
Q: Can mulch be applied around trees?
A: Yes, mulch is beneficial for trees. When applying mulch around trees, Pro-Mow creates a circular mulch ring, leaving a gap around the base of the tree (avoiding the dreaded “mulch volcano”). This helps conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the tree trunk from damage.
