Benefits of Rock

We primarily do mulching for our residential and commercial customers. However, rock can be requested directly from any customer. Though rock shares many of the same benefits as mulch, there are some benefits to using rock in your landscaping beds that are different, such as:

• Rock is low maintenance and needs to be replaced less often than mulch.
• Rock is less expensive than mulch in the long run, because it lasts longer.
• Rock has the capability of keeping weeds away longer than mulch.

One downside to choosing rock instead of mulch is that it can result in an imbalance in your soil's pH, making it harder for some plants to grow well. Additionally, rocks can get extremely hot, which raises the temperature of the soil.

Tools that we use.

There are many options for tools that are specific to pruning and trimming. We use a variety of equipment to ensure your plants are receiving the proper cut. Some of the tools that we have at our disposal include:

• Pruning shears
• Pole pruners
• Lopping shears
• Hedge trimmers
• Pruning saws

The Process of Laying Down Ground Covers

Once you have selected the mulch or rock you want in your beds, we are ready to install your new ground covering. We do mulching for both residential and commercial locations all around the Noblesville, Carmel, Westfield, and Fishers areas.

Prior to laying the ground covering, we follow these simple steps:

1. Remove any existing weeds from the landscaping beds.
2. Clean any debris from the beds.
3. Plant new plants in your landscaping bed.
4. We edge the landscaping beds and reshape them if necessary.
5. We rake the landscaping beds smooth and prepare for mulch.
6. We install the mulch or rock using proper techniques.

We lay the mulch at an approximate depth of 2-3". Prior to mulching, we take an estimate of the square footage to determine the number of cubic feet needed.
