Mulching is a necessity for any landscape beds you have on your property. While it seems like a relatively simple task to do yourself, the logistics of the project for an entire yard can get complicated. Here’s why you should leave mulching to a professional landscaper.

Why You Should Hire a Landscaper for Mulching Your Yard

1. Time & Effort

Applying mulch in your yard is a lot more difficult as a one-person task. It will likely take you an entire weekend between getting the mulch yourself from a store, lugging the full wheelbarrows to the flower beds, and actually putting it in place. Even lifting the bags can be back-breaking work that can be more effort than it’s worth. While saving a few bucks might be an incentive for DIYing this task, the hours you save hiring a landscaper will give you back valuable time.

2. Quality

The first thing on your mind is probably not the contents of the mulch you’re buying, but it can make all the difference in the health of your flower beds. Poor quality mulch will likely have weed seeds scattered throughout, which defeats the purpose of this protective layer. Landscapers will only use the highest quality mulch when doing the job, assuring that it is free of anything that can risk the health of your plants, such as diseases and pests.

3. Results

This landscape maintenance is not an inherently complicated project, but a landscaper will know what extra steps to take to give the plant beds the longevity any homeowner expects. Before applying mulch, for example, most professionals will prepare the beds by weeding them. To keep the plants healthy, as well, it’s essential not to overmulch them by applying too much. Beyond the well-being of your landscaping, a professional job will aesthetically look the part with a smooth application.
