Mulching in Pasadena

Not all mulch is created equal. It keeps weeds at bay, retains moisture and prevents rain from washing away your topsoil – important considerations for any garden owner.

When choosing planting bed mulch, we offer a range of organic and inorganic varieties, such as bark mulch and rock mulch. With a quick assessment of your property, our mulching experts can figure out which option best suits your needs and budget.

Sourced from tree varieties like cedar, pine and oak, bark mulch is shredded to create a natural base that is excellent for lining planting beds.

Some benefits to bark mulch include:

• Natural appearance
• Breaks down over time to feed soil
• Excellent at moisture retention
• Inexpensive compared to rock and rubber
• Light and generally simple to work with

Rock mulch is a popular and inexpensive option for property owners looking to line their garden beds. It consists of a mix of relatively uniform rocks that can be laid into planting beds as desired.

Some pros to rock mulch include:

• Lower costs and long-lasting use
• Lower maintenance
• Better drainage
• Ideal for heavy features

However, rock mulch provides little to no nutrients to your soil, it does not retain water and can make some soil alkaline, which can impede the growth of different plant species.
