How Mulch and Rock Landscaping Services Work

Custom, Long-Lasting Solutions for a Low-Maintenance Yard
  • Step 1: Initial Consultation
  • Step 2: Remove Existing Weeds
  • Step 3: Mulch and Rock Installation
  • Step 4: Maintenance

Step 1

Initial Consultation

Our landscape technician will evaluate your existing landscape and discuss what goals you want to achieve: weed control, soil protection, aesthetic enhancement, or a combination of these. From there, we can select suitable mulch and rock to complement your landscape’s design and needs. 

Step 2

Landscape Bed Preparation

To ensure top-notch results, we perform a clean-out. This involves removing unwanted grass and weeds, as well as providing optional additional services to prepare your soil. 

Step 3

Apply a Pre-Emergent Herbicide

We spread the mulch or rocks evenly over the designated area, ensuring a consistent thickness. Optionally, you can opt for metal edging to keep mulch and rocks in place for a polished, well-defined bed. 

Step 4

Maintenance

Mulch should be reapplied at least once a year. Additionally, removing debris keeps the rock beds looking visually appealing.

FAQs About Mulch and Rock Landscaping Services

Question: What is the purpose of mulch and rock landscaping? Answer: Mulch and rock landscaping improves the appearance of your yard while providing practical benefits like weed suppression, soil moisture retention, and erosion control. Together, they help prevent weed growth and promote healthier conditions for your landscape plants. 
Question: Does mulch prevent weeds completely? Answer: Mulch helps suppress weeds by blocking sunlight, making it harder for weed seeds to germinate. While it reduces weed growth significantly, it may not totally prevent weeds. For more comprehensive weed solutions, contact us for more information about our weed control services. 
Question: Do you install landscape fabric under mulch or rocks? Answer: We offer weed mat installation, which can significantly help prevent future weed and grass growth in mulched areas. This, combined with mulch and other weed control measures, helps minimize the risk of weed growth.
Question: Is mulch or rock landscaping safe for my plants?
Answer: Both can be safe for your plants when applied correctly. Rocks help with water retention, which is vital for plants during Texas’ summer months. While mulch is generally safe, too much can lead to soil overheating in full-sun areas. That’s why it’s best to let the professionals apply mulch as needed. 
Question: How often should I refresh mulch? Answer: Mulch typically needs to be refreshed yearly as it decomposes over time. However, some environments require a refresh more frequently. Our technicians can advise you on a schedule that’s optimal for your landscape.
