Mulch and decorative rock both do real work for a bed — holding moisture, suppressing weeds, and protecting roots — on top of finishing off the look of your landscape. We install both, and we'll help you figure out which fits a given bed: mulch for a classic, soil-building look, or rock for a lower-maintenance, long-lasting finish.

Prep work is what makes an installation actually last — clean edging, weed clearing, and landscape fabric under rock beds when it's called for — so we handle that before any material goes down, not just dump and spread.

Mulch & Decorative Rock Installation FAQs

Mulch or rock — which should I choose?

Mulch is more affordable and improves soil health as it breaks down, but needs refreshing every year or two. Rock costs more upfront but lasts for years with very little maintenance. We'll help you decide based on the bed and your goals.

How often does mulch need to be refreshed?

Most beds look best with a fresh layer every year to eighteen months, depending on the mulch type and how much sun and rain the bed gets.

Do you install landscape fabric under rock?

Yes — we recommend and can install a weed barrier fabric under rock beds to cut down on weed growth long-term.
