"Kraig and his team were considerate of our questions and opinions, and did great work clearing our front and side flower beds. #57 Red stone and mulch were used, and we’re very pleased with the result. They also shaped up our existing boxwoods and shrubbery, everything looks fantastic. Would definitely recommend!"

"Very well, despite two rain delays. Omar and Erwin, the landscapers, were super--professional, hard-working, and most of all, highly skilled in their tradecraft. Have hired The Outdoor Advantage four times now and will do so again, as needed."

"Wonderfully! They did an Outstanding job for me. They trimmed the bushes and trees nicely, weeded, and mulched beautifully, with clean, cut edges between the mulch and lawn. They arrived before 8 am on the appointed day and beautified my home exterior for the photo shoot 3 days later. Am very pleased."

Mulch and Topsoil FAQs, answered by experts

Generally, you want the soil for your edible plants to have good drainage, organic matter for nutrients, a loose texture (like loam soil), and a balanced pH level. However, the type of plants you're growing will dictate the exact characteristics your soil needs to thrive. For example, brussels sprout prefers more acidic soil, while broccoli prefers more alkaline soil. 

Colored mulch can be bad for plants in that it robs them of nitrogen as it depletes the soil to break itself down. With this in mind, it’s a good idea to test your soil to check the nitrogen levels. If the nitrogen levels are low, use fertilizer with extra nitrogen or switch to regular mulch.

Another downside of colored mulch is if it’s heavily contaminated, it can contaminate the soil and damage your plants. To avoid this, look for the MSC certification logo on the mulch bag before purchasing.

When you purchase mulch for delivery, it’s usually by the cubic yard, so you’ll want to convert your space to cubic yards to get the right amount. First, determine the square footage of the area you want to cover, and then determine how deep the bed of mulch will be—a good rule of thumb is around three inches. Multiply your square footage in feet by the depth in inches and divide by 324. You may want to add a ½ to one additional cubic yard to ensure you have enough.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

How tall your mulch should be around your tree depends on the type of mulch you use, but aim for 3 to 4 inches as a rule of thumb. You’ll want to avoid simply piling it up in hopes of offering additional benefits to your tree. Volcano mulching is the infamous term for piling way too much mulch against the stem of your tree. This could actually kill your tree or severely harm it, as your tree trunk needs space to breathe without too much moisture.
