9 Ways to Save Money with Blown Mulch

If you’ve been reading our blog, you know that blown mulch can make your property look beautiful. But did you know it can save you money? Here are nine ways your investment in blown mulch will pay off by putting more cash in your pocket.

#1: Installation is faster

Large areas take a long time to mulch using manual methods. First, you’ve got to arrange for a bulk mulch delivery that will take up spots in your parking lot. Then, a crew will have to work for days to haul and spread the pile. People using your property will have to put up with the disruption and may even avoid the area, costing you revenue. Our professional mulch installers can get in, get the job done, and get out quickly. Your tenants and visitors will be happy and you won’t be losing any money due to any disturbances.

#2: It’s safer

Blown mulch installers can distribute a lot of mulch with a very small crew. Plus, trucks and hoses can go anywhere, even rocky areas or hillsides. Blown mulch installation uses mechanical rather than human power, so it’s less physically taxing. All of these add up to a safer install. Injuries are costly for property owners because they can lead to increased insurance premiums and employee downtime. Avoiding these costs keeps this money in your pocket.

#3: Your labor costs are lower

Manual mulch installation requires huge labor costs. The larger the area, the greater the cost. Save this money by having your mulch installed by our experts instead. We can install a larger amount of mulch in less time with a smaller crew thanks to the mechanical power of our blowing equipment.

#4: There’s less waste

With a manual mulch install, there can be quite a bit of waste. No matter how effective your crew is, some of the mulch will end up tracked through your site. Any extra mulch will remain in a pile that you’ll have to dispose of. With blown mulch, your purchased mulch stays in the truck and ends up exactly where you want it. Plus, the mulch blowing process breaks up any clumps. Many customers find their material cost decreases by 20 to 30 percent. This ends up to be a huge savings for you.

#5: The right mulch helps control pests

Pest control can cost Alabama property owners a lot of money. If you have pest control problems at your property, mulch can help. Some types of mulch actively repel pests and help prevent insect infestations. Our professional installers can help you identify the right mulch to save you money on pest control.

#6: Properly mulched landscaping requires less water

During hot Alabama summers, thirsty landscape plants require lots of water. Properly installed mulch helps keep water in the soil where plants can use it. If you have high water bills for your property, blown landscape mulch could help reduce your costs.

#7: You’ll see fewer weeds in your landscaping

Weeds are unsightly and can quickly choke out your expensive plants. Mulch helps prevent weeds from taking hold. If the weeds aren’t there, you won’t have to pay anyone to remove them. You also won’t have to pay for herbicide to kill them. All of these savings mean more money in the bank for you.

#8: Mulch controls erosion

On hillsides, mulch slows water runoff and reduces erosion. This lowers the risk of landslides and expensive soil loss. If you have concerns about erosion on your property, mulch can be part of the solution. Blown mulch is easy to install on areas like hillsides that would be difficult to mulch manually.

#9: Your property will look better

You don’t need a realtor to tell you the importance of curb appeal. Professionally blown mulch looks great and demonstrates your pride in your property. It enhances your property values and drives additional business your way. When your property is successful, your income increases.
