Installation by Hand

There are multiple ways that our team at Stockman Lawnscape can install mulch at your home or commercial property. For areas that are smaller or have tight spaces with a lot of plantings, our skilled and professional team will carefully install mulch by hand using wheelbarrows. This allows us to make sure we are not damaging any existing plants, while also ensuring proper coverage and depth.

If the mulch has color dye in it, will it run or harm my plants when it rains?

We have not found color dye to be detrimental to the plants in landscape beds. In most cases, the dye does not run during rain, as the process to dye mulch ensures it is dried before being sold and installed.

Are there other options besides color dyed mulch?

Yes! There are natural color options for mulch, often called barkwood. This is made out of ground up trees and bark. The downside is that the color fades very quickly and often looks grey shortly after being exposed to the elements.

How long does it take and how much does it cost to install mulch?

Each property is different and unique! Our Team can give you a time frame for how long mulching your property would take, once we visit your site and take accurate measurements of your landscape beds and assess the terrain. Once we review that, we can discuss the options to make sure we stay within your budget for your mulch installation project.

If I want to wait until summer to install mulch, can I do that?

Absolutely! Mulch can be installed year round. One thing to consider when thinking about installing mulch in the summer is the temperature. If it is very hot in Pittsburgh for an extended period of time, installing black dyed mulch would not be ideal, as it attracts sunlight due to the color. While still possible, the watering of the landscaping in your mulch beds would have to be adjusted. Our Team would be happy to help you understand the needs of your landscape in this situation!

Is the mulch you use different from the mulch I can buy at the store?

Yes and no. There are high quality mulch products you can buy at the local hardware store, but there are also some bad products as well. When we select a mulch supplier, we ensure the mulch we are supplying you is the highest quality and not made of recycled pressure treated wood that could harm your landscape.
