Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Which mulch should I choose?
    The choice of mulch depends on your specific needs. If you’re looking for fast nutrient release, rural fines break down the quickest, typically within 6 months, enriching your soil faster. For long-lasting options, both tea tree and cypress blend (pictured on the left) are great choices, offering durability. Tea tree mulch not only provides excellent moisture retention but also releases a fresh, earthy fragrance that many people find pleasant in their garden. We generally recommend Cypress Blend over Cypress Mulch because the blend includes fines, which provide better coverage and moisture retention, while mulch consists of just woodchips that offer less soil integration and effectiveness.
  • How thick should mulch be applied?
    Mulch should generally be applied at a thickness of 50mm to 100mm to provide optimal weed suppression and moisture retention without smothering plants. Garden beds with established plants or shrubs may benefit from the lower end of this range (50mm), allowing air and water to reach their root systems more easily. On the other hand, areas prone to more intense sunlight, or spaces where weed control is a higher priority, may require a thicker layer of mulch (up to 100mm) for better insulation and coverage.
  • How often should mulch be replaced?
    Depending on the type of mulch, it should be replenished every 6 to 12 months. Faster-decomposing mulches like rural fines may need to be replaced sooner, while long-lasting mulches like tea tree or cypress blend can last longer before needing to be refreshed.
  • Can mulch help with weed control?
    Yes! Mulch is highly effective at suppressing weeds by blocking sunlight. For best results, we always remove or treat weeds before applying the mulch, providing a cleaner and more effective solution.
  • Will mulch attract termites or pests?
    Some wood-based mulches can attract termites or pests if placed directly against your home or structures. However, we can recommend and install mulches like tea tree or cypress blend that are less likely to attract unwanted insects.
  • Is colored mulch safe for plants?
    If you’re considering dyed mulch, ensure it’s safe for the environment and non-toxic. We primarily use natural mulches, but if you prefer colored mulch, we can recommend safe options.
  • Do you offer mulching for commercial properties?
    Yes, we provide mulching services for both residential and commercial properties, ensuring proper mulch application for gardens, landscapes, and larger areas.
