Why apply mulch as part of your lawn care service? Besides the fact that it enhances the beauty of your garden areas and overall lawn and landscape, mulch protects your plants from extremes of temperature in summer and winter. Mulch also provides a hedge against drought by retaining moisture in your soil and keeps weeds out of your plant beds. At Pretty City Lawns, we understand the importance of quality mulch in creating a thriving and beautiful landscape. Our professional mulching and mulch installation services provide numerous benefits for your garden spaces, ensuring they look great and remain healthy.
Installing wood mulch in a plant bed is a fantastic way to enhance the health and appearance of your garden areas. Wood mulch helps retain soil moisture by reducing evaporation, ensuring your plants stay hydrated. In addition, a thick layer of mulch inhibits weed growth by blocking sunlight, making it harder for weeds to take root. Mulch also acts as an insulating layer, keeping soil temperatures stable during hot and cold weather. Furthermore, as wood mulch decomposes, it adds organic matter to the soil, improving its structure and fertility. Lastly, a fresh layer of mulch gives garden beds a neat, polished look.
Pine straw installation is a popular landscaping method that involves spreading pine needles over garden beds and around plants. Pine straw is not only visually appealing with its rich, auburn color but also offers practical benefits such as moisture retention, soil insulation, and weed suppression. We specialize in transforming your garden beds with our high-quality pine straw installation services. Pine straw is an excellent mulch option that not only enhances the beauty of your landscape but also provides numerous practical benefits.
Transform your garden beds with the elegance and practicality of gravel. We offer expert gravel installation services that enhance the beauty and functionality of your landscape. Plant beds, paths and walkways are great places to employ gravel both for function and for beauty. Rock is also natural, so it's in harmony with nature and the environment, while still blending well with the wood, stone, brick and concrete structures that serve as our dwelling places today.
Natural brown mulch is a classic choice that blends seamlessly with any garden style. It enriches the soil as it decomposes and provides a rich, earthy appearance.
For those looking to make a bold statement, red mulch adds a vibrant pop of color. It contrasts beautifully with green plants and can enhance the visual appeal of your flower beds.
Our designer black mulch offers a modern look that is perfect for contemporary landscapes. Its dark color creates a striking contrast against bright flowers and greenery.
Long leaf pine straw is a top-tier mulching material for several compelling reasons. Its needles are longer and more durable than other pine straw varieties, providing excellent coverage and a neat, uniform appearance. This makes it perfect for creating a polished, professional look in garden beds and landscaped areas.
Gravel installation brings both beauty and functionality to any garden. Its natural, clean look complements plants and hardscaping, while its durability means less maintenance compared to organic mulches.
Wood mulch is a very common choice. It performs its job well– it protects plants from the heat of the sun, prevents them from being damaged by heavy rains, and is probably the most cost-effective of our three options. It is also available in a variety of colors, so you’re sure to find one that matches your garden.
For those who aren’t big fans of mulch, pine straw is a very popular option as well. If you’re lucky enough to have some pine trees on your property, you can get your pine straw for nothing, besides the time it takes to rake it of course. Unlike mulch, it does not hold water, as the thin needles allow it to pass through quite easily. Its

If you’re lucky enough to have some pine trees on your property, you can get your pine straw for nothing, besides the time it takes to rake it of course. Unlike mulch, it does not hold water, as the thin needles allow it to pass through quite easily. Its bright orange color that fades to a deep brown later in the season is also quite an attractive landscaping choice.
Choosing rock instead of a more standard mulch is an unusual but attractive option. The rocks will pull heat from the soil in the long days of summer, helping to regulate the temperature of the dirt around your plants. They, like other mulches, are also a good way to prevent weeds from growing in your garden.
We start with a consultation to understand your needs and preferences for mulch type and quantity.
Our team prepares the area by clearing any debris and existing mulch.
We lay down your chosen mulch evenly and efficiently, ensuring a professional finish.
After installation, we tidy up the area, leaving your landscape looking pristine.
Different mulches serve different purposes. Organic mulches, like wood chips or straw, decompose over time, adding nutrients to the soil, while inorganic mulches, like gravel or landscape fabric, are long-lasting and control weeds without breaking down.
Spread the mulch 2-4 inches thick, ensuring even coverage. Avoid piling mulch directly against plant stems or tree trunks to prevent rot and pest issues. Keep a small gap around the base of plants.
Check your mulch annually and add a fresh layer if needed. Stir or fluff up the mulch occasionally to prevent compaction and ensure good air and water flow.
