We offer mulch delivery and installation services
Mulch installation can provide several benefits for your garden beds such as giving it a nice uniform appearance, it can also help to reduce the amount of weeds, it can help retain moisture, and it helps insulate and protect your plants root systems during cold weather. Adding mulch to your garden beds is a key part of maintaining a healthy looking landscape.

We can deliver and spread mulch throughout your garden beds, flower beds and landscape features for both residential and commercial clients.
What Are The Benefits Of Installing Bark Mulch In Your Garden Or Landscape Beds?
Here are three clear benefits of installing bark mulch in garden or landscape beds:
Moisture Retention: Bark mulch helps retain moisture in the soil, which can benefit the plants in your garden. According to a study by the University of Rhode Island, bark mulch can reduce soil moisture loss by up to 25%, which can help plants grow better and require less watering. This can be especially beneficial in areas with hot and dry climates or during periods of drought or when water restrictions might be in place.
Weed Suppression: Another benefit of bark mulch is that it can help suppress weed growth in your garden or landscape beds. When applied in a thick enough layer bark mulch can reduce weed growth by up to 90% for extended periods of time. This is because the mulch creates a physical barrier that prevents weed seeds from germinating and growing.
Soil Improvement: Bark mulch can also improve the quality of your soil over time. As the mulch breaks down, it adds organic matter to the soil, which can improve soil structure, and nutrient content. These can both benefit plant growth and health in the long term.
Preparing Your Garden And Landscape Beds For Mulch Installation
Weed Removal: We begin with a thorough weeding of the garden beds. We remove any existing weeds by hand, ensuring we get the roots to prevent future regrowth.
Clear Debris: We remove any plant debris, rocks, or old, torn, landscape fabric, that may hinder the new mulch's ability to regulate soil temperature and retain moisture.
Define Edges: Using a sharp spade or an edging tool we clearly define the edges of your garden beds. This not only improves appearance but also helps contain the mulch within the desired areas.
Install Landscape Fabric (Optional): For added weed control, laying down landscape fabric is an option.
Plan for Planting: If you're having us install new plants, we usually do so before mulching. This allows us to place the plants exactly where you want them and ensures the mulch doesn't interfere with the planting process.
Mulch Application: Finally, we apply mulch evenly across your garden beds, maintaining a thickness of about 2-3 inches. We avoid piling mulch against plant stems and tree trunks to prevent moisture buildup and potential rot.
It's not really a good idea to just start spreading out mulch without some preparation to the garden and landscape beds. For a proper, professional level installation you'll want to properly prepare the areas where the mulch will be installed.
We are happy to add garden and landscape bed preparation and clean up services into your estimate. It makes an amazing difference in how good the mulch will look after installation.
Mulch Delivery & Installation
Minimum Mulch Delivery/Spreading = 5 Yards. Mulch is sold and delivered by the yard. 1 yard of mulch spread about an 1″ thick should cover approximately 324 square feet. We can arrive to your location with up to 6-12 yards of mulch in one of our dumping trailers and orders larger than that will need to be delivered via a dump truck or we can do it in multiple trips.
*Each trip for mulch or other materials comes with an individual delivery charge.
Our mulch installation estimates include delivery costs, spreading (approx 1 man hr per yard), edging of your garden beds, and a clean up of the delivery area. You'll be really happy with the new, uniform appearance your garden beds will have!

I emailed the company from the website asking for an estimate. I was quickly contacted to discuss the project. Rodrigo was able to provide a rough estimate based on measurements and a sketch of what I was wanting. He then setup a time to come to the site to verify/confirm the project. The estimate provided over the phone was very close to the “real” estimate…no hidden fees or charges. If you’re looking for a professional that is prompt, responsive, and provides a great product, make sure you give Rodrigo’s a call.
Beautiful work done on my new pathway to my backyard! Will be repeating customer for other projects !
I had happened to reach out to Rodrigo for a free estimate and scope of work for a job in my backyard. Rodrigo was very punctual, responsive, and always followed up. He had got the scope of work and proposal on time. He is the guy you could trust. I couldn't do a project with him due to unavoidable reasons at the last minute but came here to leave a review about his professionalism!!!!
Highly recommend Rodrigo’s Landscaping to anybody who is looking to get a professional work done. They did an amazing job making a concrete retaining wall for us. They worked very fast and finished the job in just 2 days. Very happy with the results. Also, they followed the contract and executed everything in the way we asked them to. Would use them again in the future.
For the past 2 years, I have been searching for a good hardscaping company which can help transform my backyard / frontyard. Many contractors would come and take a look and would either not send the quote or never understood what I was looking for from landscaping design standpoint. I contacted Rodrigo through FB and he came the next day(I believe Sunday) to take a look and gave me a quote in couple of days. Rodrigo is thorough and easy to work with. He will make sure you are satisfied with the design and outcome of the project. He is there at every stage of the project, continuously monitoring the progress and answer any questions I had at each stage. His team works really well and does a thorough job. At times, I raised concerns that the work is not as expected and his team took the inputs/feedback and made corrections and completed the work to satisfaction. All in all, Rodrigo’s Landscaping team did a fantastic job with my backyard / frontyard. I would highly recommend them for any major project you want to get done. You will not be disappointed.
We used Rodrigo’s Landscaping for pavers around our pool area. They were very knowledgeable, professional and responsive to our many questions. The pavers we had completed came out beautifully and we will use this company again for future landscaping needs.
This is the second project that Rodrigo and his crew did for us. There’s a reason that we are a repeat customer and will continue to go to this business for any landscaping needs. Rodrigo himself is very professional, personable, and most importantly a trustworthy individual. He is super responsive and very accommodating to our schedule. His crew does a fantastic job with no corners cut. I highly recommend working with Rodrigo.
Rodrigo’s Landscaping really is the best landscape company to work with. Rodrigo, does a fine job communicating during each phase of the project.

I've used Rodrigo Landscaping for three major projects at my residence; Cedar Mulch and tree & leaf removal that accumulated for 15yrs. I was impress with his professionalism i hired him again to install three 9ft green giant trees and cut down a few trees to allow the new trees to fully grown. The 3rd project was aerate and reseeding my one acre yard. He had an interesting service I had not had for the 20yrs I've owned my home. It was called removal of the dirt buds left by the aeration machine. In summary, he has always kept to his commitment of our landscape contracts and I respect and appreciate his style of running a landscape business. He's a rare gem and I plan to use him again!
Absolutely did a fantastic job on landscaping our backyard- price was fair and work done as scheduled and on time! Highly recommend!
Rodrigo and his crew did a marvelous job. First of all Rodrigo responded to our request for a Landscape design and quote the same day. He was on time, very professional and created a landscape design by the next day at a very competitive price. He explained exactly what they would be doing and how long it would take to complete the job. One week later his crew showed up and completed the project that day. They left the site in perfect condition and Rodrigo came by to make sure we were satisfied with the work. I would recommend Rodrigo's Landscaping to anyone. He honest, creative, professional, knowledgeable, reasonable and on time.
We recently hired Rodrigo to regrade our front and back yard, install zoysia sod, create mulch beds with steel borders, add a french drain, and lay stone paths. Rodrigo was professional and delivered on our vision. His team completed the work within a couple of days of starting. We couldn’t be happier with our choice! If you want a job well done I would highly recommend Rodrigo’s Landscaping. The pictures speak for themselves
