Mulching

We provide mulching services with the aim of covering the base of plants, shrubs, trees, and garden beds with a layer of organic or inorganic material that protects the soil, regulates temperature, and provides nutrients. We perform this service strategically to optimize the health of the garden and improve its aesthetics without affecting the natural growth of the plants.

At Escalante Landscaping LLC, we offer professional mulching in Glassboro, NJ, designed to protect, nourish, and beautify your gardens and green areas. Applying mulch not only improves the appearance of the space, but also promotes plant health, retains soil moisture, and helps control weed growth, resulting in a healthier, low-maintenance garden.

Mulch Application Process

  1. Area assessment: Before applying mulch, we inspect the space to determine:
  • Type of plants and shrubs present
  • Soil conditions (moisture, drainage, compaction)
  • Areas that require greater protection or coverage
  • Aesthetic style desired by the customer
  1. Soil preparation: Before applying mulch, we prepare the area to ensure effective installation:
  • We remove weeds, dry leaves, and plant debris
  • We aerate or lightly loosen the soil around the plants
  • We level the ground if necessary for even coverage
  1. Mulch selection and application: We choose quality mulch, either organic (wood chips, bark, compost) or inorganic (decorative stones), depending on the needs of the garden. The application is carried out carefully:
  • An even layer is distributed around plants, shrubs, and trees
  • Keep a minimum distance from the stem or trunk to avoid excessive moisture and disease
  • Adjust the thickness according to the type of plant and sun exposure
  1. Cleaning and maintenance: After application, we perform a final cleaning:
  • We remove excess mulch and debris
  • We check that all plants are properly covered
  • We provide recommendations for maintenance and periodic renewal
