Different Types of Organic and Inorganic Mulch We Offer

  • Shredded Bark & Wood Chips

    • Description: Wood chips and bark look excellent in garden beds, absorb water well, and are ideal for drier landscapes. They break down slowly, enriching the clay-heavy soils often found in the Bluegrass region.
    • Best For: Flower beds, around trees and shrubs.

  • Stones & Gravel

    • Description: Stones provide long-lasting weed prevention and are an excellent choice for rock gardens or areas where soil enrichment is not the primary goal. They significantly improve drainage and regulate soil temperature.
    • Best For: Walkways, xeriscaping, and cacti gardens.

  • Straw & Pine Needles (Pine Straw)

    • Description: Straw is easy to spread and helps build healthy soil while regulating moisture and temperature. Pine needles are popular in the South and work well around acid-loving plants common in Lexington.
    • Best For: Vegetable gardens, newly planted areas, or around rhododendrons and azaleas.

FAQs About Our Mulching Services

  • Most Lexington homeowners prefer organic mulch (shredded wood, bark, or pine straw) for flower beds and shrub areas because it decomposes to enrich the soil. Inorganic materials (stone, gravel) work well for decorative areas and low-maintenance landscapes where long-lasting coverage is preferred over soil enrichment. Our team can assess your plants and landscape goals to recommend the perfect material.

  • Organic mulches typically need refreshing every year or two to maintain the optimal 2-4 inch depth and a fresh color, as they decompose quickly in Kentucky’s four-season climate. Signs it’s time for new mulch include fading color, thin coverage, or visible decomposition. Inorganic options like stone can last many years without replacement.

  • Yes, a proper mulch installation is highly effective. A 2-4 inch layer significantly reduces weed growth by blocking sunlight needed for germination. Furthermore, it acts as a blanket, reducing soil water evaporation by up to 50%, which is crucial during the hot, dry Kentucky summers. This means less watering for you and healthier plants.

  • The ideal depth for mulch is 2 to 4 inches. Applying less than 2 inches may not be effective at blocking weeds or retaining moisture. Applying more than 4 inches can create a “mulch volcano” around plants and trees, which can prevent water and air from reaching the roots and lead to rot. Our professionals ensure a consistent, healthy application depth every time.
