6 Surprising Places to Mulch

If you own or manage property in Alabama, you know the importance of good landscaping. An attractive property is better for the people who use it and better for business. Large lawns are common but require lots of water, fertilizer, and maintenance. If you’re looking for some functional, environmentally friendly landscape options, consider adding mulch. Our mulch experts have lots of ways you can add value to your property. Consider one of these projects for your landscaping.

#1: Add mulch around your lawn trees

Trees add shade and beauty, but if you’re not regularly installing mulch around them, you’re missing out on some of their value. Landscape mulch protects trees by keeping moisture in the soil and covering their roots. Properly installed mulch also keeps lawn equipment from damaging trees when mowing. Mulch keeps your trees healthy and makes your lawn easier to maintain. If you haven’t mulched around your trees because it seems like too much work, our mulch blowing professionals can install mulch anywhere in very little time.

#2: Mulch your children’s play areas

Almost every property has young visitors these days. The mild winters in Alabama mean they can play outside year round. This makes installing or upgrading a children’s play area a wise investment for your property. Mulch makes a safe, attractive surface for large and small playgrounds. If it’s been a while since you’ve added mulch to your play area, our installers can get the job done quickly with very little down time. If your playground is gravel or dirt, switching to mulch will make it safer, cleaner, and more attractive for everyone who visits.

#3: Add mulch along roads and driveways

How is your property’s curb appeal? How does your property look to people arriving by car? Take your driveway’s appearance to the next level by adding mulch along curbs. Not only does it look better, but it might make your property safer. Mulch suppresses weeds that could grow along roads and block a driver’s view of oncoming traffic. This also means you won’t have to have a landscape crew blocking traffic while they trim. If you don’t have mulch installed along your driveways and roads, we think you’ll love the results and the value they add to your property.

#4: Use mulch to create a path or trail

Today’s employees and visitors want amenities that fit an active lifestyle. Adding a walking path or trail is a great way to appeal to these users. If you’ve been putting this off because it would be too difficult to manually install mulch through your site, remember that our trucks can install mulch anywhere! The truck’s long hoses and powerful blowers allow our crews to go where other crews can’t. We can add a beautiful trail your users will enjoy year-round.

#5: Make heavy traffic areas more attractive

If your property has a spot that’s always worn bare and turns into a mud puddle when it rains, don’t keep fighting against nature by installing more sod. Switch to mulch instead for a more attractive surface that will look great rain or shine. Mulch blowing trucks can install many different types of mulch. Our local mulch installers will work with you to find the right type of mulch for your site.

#6: Create a rooftop garden

Green roof surfaces and rooftop gardens are a great amenity for any building. In the past, installing mulch on a rooftop meant many trips with a wheelbarrow on a freight elevator. Our method allows our installers to get mulch on your rooftop easily. Long, flexible hoses put the mulch exactly where you want it with no messy trips through your building.
