Common questions
Do you just drop the mulch, or spread it?
Either. Delivery-only is a driveway drop. Full service includes bed cleanup, edging touch-up, spreading, and cleanup around walks and patios.
What kind of mulch should I use?
Hardwood and native mulch work for most beds. Cedar can help with smell and durability. Dyed mulch is mostly a color choice, but the installer should still check that it is suitable for residential beds.
How deep should mulch be?
Deep enough to cover soil and slow weeds, but not piled against trunks or siding. Mulch volcanoes around trees cause moisture problems. A clean ring with the trunk exposed is the right look.
Does mulch attract termites?
Mulch does not automatically create termites, but wet wood against a slab is not smart. Keep mulch pulled back from the foundation and call pest control if you see tubes, wings, or active damage.
Can mulch wash away in Corpus rain?
Yes, especially on slopes or beds without edging. If your beds wash out every spring, the crew may suggest edging, rock in drainage paths, or a grade fix instead of just adding more mulch.
Can you handle rental turnovers?
Yes. Property managers often schedule quick bed cleanup and mulch refresh between tenants, especially around Padre Island vacation rentals and Southside homes.
Coastal Bend seasons
Spring (March - May)
Peak season for bed refresh, weed suppression, and listing-ready curb appeal.
Summer (June - August)
Mulch helps reduce root stress in heat, but it should not be piled against trunks or siding.
Fall (September - November)
Good time to reset beds after storms and before winter planting.
Winter (December - February)
Off-season delivery is easier to schedule and works well before spring planting.
