Frequently Asked Questions – Mulching & Composting in Folsom, CA
Q: How often should I apply mulch?
A: We recommend refreshing mulch once or twice per year. Spring and fall are the best times to replenish and maintain a healthy, consistent layer.
Q: How deep should mulch be applied?
A: A layer of 2–3 inches is ideal. This provides weed suppression and moisture retention without smothering plant roots. We adjust depth based on plant type and location.
Q: What kind of mulch should I use?
A: It depends on your goals. Bark mulch is great for moisture retention and aesthetics. Cedar offers natural pest resistance. Dyed mulches come in black or brown for high contrast. We help you choose the right one for your space.
Q: Is compost safe for all plants?
A: Yes, when used properly. We apply compost in garden beds and around plants to enrich the soil and promote healthy root development. It’s ideal for flowers, shrubs, and vegetable gardens.
Q: Do you install mulch around trees?
A: Yes. We apply mulch in a donut-shaped ring around the tree, avoiding direct contact with the trunk to prevent rot and disease.
Q: Can compost replace fertilizer?
A: Compost improves soil structure and provides nutrients, but in some cases, additional fertilizer may still be needed. Compost is a great base for long-term soil health.
Q: Do I need to do anything before you install mulch or compost?
A: We recommend clearing large weeds or debris, but we can also handle bed prep as part of the service if requested.
Q: Is compost smelly or messy?
A: Not ours. We use fully decomposed, screened compost that’s dark, earthy, and ready for application. It’s clean and safe for gardens, lawns, and walkways.
Q: Do you offer bulk mulch delivery without installation?
A: Yes. If you prefer to install mulch yourself, we offer delivery of various mulch types by the cubic yard.
Q: How do I schedule service?
A: Just contact us to request a quote. We’ll assess your property, recommend mulch or compost types, and schedule your installation at your convenience.
