The Blown Mulch Difference: Your Questions Answered

When you think of having mulch delivered to your property, you probably know you can order it by the bag or by the truckload. While this may work for small projects, there’s a better way to have mulch installed for large projects. If you don’t know much about blown mulch, we’re here to help with answers to all your questions.

How does it work?

Mulch arrives at your site in a special truck. The truck contains a powerful blower connected to a long hose. The professional crew then uses the hose to put your mulch exactly where you want it. The hose can go anywhere and deliver large quantities of mulch in a very short amount of time. Your landscaping will look great and you’ll be thrilled with the results.

How long does it take?

The biggest advantage of this method of mulch delivery is its speed. Our crews can install more than 50 yards of mulch in two hours. Installing that same amount manually would take at least a day. For large projects, blown mulch can save you weeks over manual methods. A quote from one of our professionals includes an estimate of how long your project will take. We think you’ll be thrilled with the time savings.

Does it look good?

Another advantage of blown mulch is that it can be installed evenly and consistently. The clean edges and consistent depth give your project a professional look. Most people find that blown mulch looks much better than mulch installed by hand. Our professionals can use this method to install many different types of mulch. No matter what look you’re going for, we can help.

How much is wasted?

With blown mulch, you only get the mulch you need. The rest stays in the truck instead of piled in your parking lot or tracked through your lawn. Plus, the truck breaks up large clumps during the blowing process. Our professionals find that blown mulch reduces material costs by 20 to 30 percent because so much less is wasted.

Where can your trucks go?

Our trucks are big, but the good news is they don’t need go directly to the site. The truck stays on the road and out of your landscaping. The long, flexible hoses can go anywhere you need mulch. Rocky hillsides, courtyards, and even rooftops can be mulched with ease. Areas that would have been difficult or messy to reach with manual methods are no problem to reach with this method.

Do I need to remove fences and playground equipment?

Because the hoses connected to the truck are so long and flexible, they can go over fences and around playground equipment. There’s no need to remove obstacles. Our crews can work around them and still get your mulch exactly where it needs to go. This saves you time as well as wear and tear on your property.

Will I need to rake the mulch after it’s installed?

With manual installation methods, you may need to rake mulch to even it out after it’s installed. With blown mulch, there’s no need to do any additional work. It’s already evenly distributed and perfectly placed. You can enjoy a beautiful site in less time with less work.
