#1: It’s a lot easier

Installing mulch by hand on a large project is a huge undertaking. First, you have to arrange for a mulch delivery and wait for it to arrive. Then, the mulch gets dumped in your parking lot or driveway. You have to hire a crew or find enough volunteers to spread it. It will take the crew days to haul the mulch one load at a time from the pile to your landscaping.

Blown mulch is so much easier. The mulch typically arrives already loaded into the truck; there’s no need for an unsightly pile in your parking lot. Our crews use powerful blowers in the truck to do the heavy work. They use long, flexible hoses to place the mulch exactly where you want it. With this method, a mulch project that might have taken days by hand can be completed in only a few hours and with a lot less manual labor.

#2: It’s much faster

Installing mulch manually takes a long time. Even if your crew uses machinery to haul the loads, it’s still a lot of back-and-forth from the mulch pile to your landscaping. Bad weather can cause delays that make your project take even longer. In hot weather, crews must take frequent breaks to prevent overexertion.

Blown mulch technology lets you get your mulching project done in much less time. Our expert crews can install over 60 yards of mulch in just two hours. If you have a large project, you can imagine how much time you’ll save. Faster installations won’t be impacted by bad weather. Crews can get the job done before the storm arrives or the day gets too hot.

#3: It can save you money

To spread mulch manually, you need a lot of people. If your project is large, that means paying a large crew for as long as it takes to get the project done. These numbers add up quickly and cost you a lot of money.

You won’t have this problem with blown mulch. Because mulch blowers use mechanical power instead of physical work, a small crew can complete the installation in a short amount of time. This saves you money on labor costs.

#4: It looks great

Mulch spread by hand can be uneven. Depending on the skill level of the crew, some places might be too thick while others are too thin. It’s not uncommon for mulch to have an uneven appearance unless you spend time raking it after it’s installed.

Blown mulch doesn’t have this problem. It is evenly applied with a consistent appearance. You don’t need to rake it. Our customers love the finished appearance that blown mulch gives their properties.

#5: It causes less disruption on your property

With the manual mulch process, you’ll have to put up with a large, unsightly pile blocking several spaces in your parking lot for days. When installation day arrives, you’ll have crew members and their vehicles taking up additional space. This causes disruption for your visitors and tenants.

You won’t have this problem with blown mulch. A small crew brings only one truck, which remains safely off to the side. Long, flexible hoses quickly spread mulch in exactly the right location. Before you know it, the project is done and your property looks great. Your visitors and tenants can enjoy the new landscaping right away.
