Your landscaping shouldn’t require constant attention just to look decent. Properly installed mulch creates a barrier that blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds, cutting down the time you spend pulling unwanted growth from your flower beds and around trees. It also acts as insulation for your soil, keeping moisture where your plants need it instead of evaporating in the sun.
In Corinth, where we get 33.50 inches of rain annually but also 228 sunny days, that moisture retention matters. You’re not watering as often, your plants aren’t stressed during dry spells, and your soil temperature stays more consistent through seasonal shifts.
The result is landscaping that looks intentional and maintained without you having to be out there every weekend fighting the same battles. Your property value goes up, your maintenance time goes down, and you’re not replacing plants that couldn’t handle the temperature swings or drought stress.
We’ve been operating in Saratoga, Warren, and Washington counties since 1997. We started in logging, moved into full-time excavation in 2020, and added landscape mulching services because our clients needed someone who could handle site prep through final landscaping without coordinating multiple contractors.
When you’re building a new home or improving your existing property in Corinth, you need contractors who understand how site conditions affect the final result. We know the local soil composition, drainage patterns, and how materials perform in this climate. That means we’re selecting and installing mulch that works with your specific property, not just spreading whatever’s cheapest.
Josh is on nearly every job, so there’s direct accountability. You’re not dealing with a different crew each time or wondering if the work matches what was promised. We’re a family operation, and we’re here for the long term.
We start by looking at your property and discussing what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re dealing with drainage issues, weed problems, or just want to improve the appearance of your landscape beds, that shapes how we approach the job.
Before any mulch goes down, we assess the existing conditions. If there’s old, compacted mulch or landscape fabric that’s breaking down, we remove it. If weeds have taken over, we address that first. Putting fresh mulch over problems doesn’t solve them.
Next comes material selection. Organic mulch works well for most garden mulching and flower bed mulching applications in Corinth because it breaks down over time and improves your soil. We source quality materials and deliver them in the quantities you actually need.
Installation means spreading mulch to the right depth—typically 2 to 3 inches for landscape bed mulching. Too thin and it won’t suppress weeds or retain moisture. Too thick and it can suffocate plant roots or create drainage problems. We edge beds cleanly, keep mulch away from tree trunks and plant stems to prevent rot, and make sure the finished result looks intentional.
The site gets cleaned up completely before we leave. No piles of excess material, no mess in your driveway. The job’s done when it’s actually done.

You’re getting more than just mulch delivery and spreading. We handle mulch removal service if your existing material needs to go, whether it’s broken down, contaminated with weeds, or just compacted to the point where it’s not doing its job anymore.
For new landscape bed mulching, we’ll prep the area properly—edging beds, addressing drainage concerns if needed, and making sure the surface is ready for mulch application. If you’re integrating this work with other site improvements like driveway installation or drainage solutions, we coordinate it all so you’re not managing multiple timelines.
Corinth’s climate means your mulch needs to handle both wet springs and dry summer stretches. We’re selecting materials that manage moisture without turning into a soggy mess during heavy rain periods. The 228 sunny days we get annually also mean UV exposure breaks down lower-quality mulch faster, so material choice affects how long your investment lasts.
We’re also realistic about maintenance. Mulch isn’t permanent. Organic options break down over time, which benefits your soil but means you’ll need to refresh it periodically. We’ll tell you what to expect and when you should plan for a top-up, usually every 1-2 years depending on the material and conditions.
Cost depends on the size of the area you’re covering, the type of mulch you choose, and whether we’re removing old material first. Organic mulch is typically more affordable upfront but needs replacement more often than inorganic options. Larger projects have better per-yard pricing than small jobs because the setup and delivery costs get spread across more material.
For a typical residential property in Corinth—say, mulching around foundation plantings, a few flower beds, and some tree rings—you’re usually looking at a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on square footage. If you’re mulching extensive landscape beds as part of new home construction, that number goes up.
We provide clear estimates before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges for “unforeseen circumstances” that should have been obvious from the start. If we find something during prep that changes the scope—like drainage issues that need addressing—we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Organic mulch—shredded hardwood, bark, or wood chips—works well for most landscape mulching applications in Corinth because it breaks down gradually and improves soil quality. It retains moisture during dry periods, insulates roots during temperature swings, and looks natural in residential settings.
Hardwood mulch holds its color longer than pine or cedar options, which matters if appearance is a priority. It also breaks down slower, so you’re not replacing it as frequently. For garden mulching and flower bed mulching, organic options support healthier soil biology as they decompose.
Inorganic mulch like stone or rubber lasts longer and doesn’t need replacement, but it doesn’t improve your soil and can actually make things worse if you later want to change your landscaping. Stone also absorbs and radiates heat, which can stress plants during hot summer days. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your specific situation based on what you’re planting, how much maintenance you want to do, and what your long-term plans are for the property.
Organic mulch typically needs refreshing every 1-2 years in Corinth. The breakdown rate depends on the material type, how much sun exposure the area gets, and how much rainfall we see in a given year. Mulch in full sun breaks down faster than shaded areas. Mulch that stays consistently moist decomposes quicker than drier spots.
You’ll know it’s time for fresh mulch when the color has faded significantly, the material has compacted and thinned out, or weeds are starting to break through more easily. If you’re seeing more soil than mulch, you’ve waited too long.
Some property owners prefer annual top-ups to keep everything looking fresh, especially if curb appeal is important. Others go two years between applications. We can set you up on a maintenance schedule if you want to keep it consistent, or you can call when you’re ready. Either way, we’re not pushing unnecessary services—just being realistic about what mulch does and how long it lasts in our climate.
Yes, and doing it correctly matters more than most people realize. Mulch should never be piled against tree trunks, shrub stems, or plant crowns. That creates moisture buildup that leads to rot, invites pests, and can kill established plants.
We keep mulch a few inches away from trunks and stems, creating a small gap that allows air circulation. For flower bed mulching, we’re careful around perennials and bulbs, especially in spring when new growth is emerging. The goal is to suppress weeds and retain moisture without smothering the plants you’re trying to protect.
If your existing landscape beds are overgrown or poorly maintained, we’ll assess whether plants need trimming back before mulch goes down. Sometimes the issue isn’t the mulch—it’s that plants have outgrown their space or are competing for resources. We’ll point out those situations so you can make informed decisions about what stays and what should be removed before we start the mulching work.
Yes, mulch removal service is part of what we offer, and it’s often necessary before installing fresh material. Old mulch that’s broken down into a compacted mat doesn’t allow water or air to reach the soil properly. If it’s full of weeds or contaminated with disease, spreading new mulch over it just perpetuates the problem.
We’ll remove the old material, haul it away, and prep the bed properly before new mulch goes down. That might include pulling weeds, addressing minor grading issues, or refreshing bed edges so everything looks clean and intentional.
Some situations don’t require full removal—if your existing mulch is only a year or two old and still in decent shape, we can top it off instead. But if it’s been neglected for several years or was installed incorrectly in the first place, starting fresh gives you better results. We’ll assess what makes sense when we look at your property and give you an honest recommendation, not just the option that costs more.
Absolutely, and that’s one of the advantages of working with a full-service excavation company. If you’re building a new home in Corinth and need site prep, driveway installation, drainage solutions, and final landscaping, we handle all of it. You’re not coordinating multiple contractors or dealing with scheduling conflicts between trades.
We own our equipment rather than renting, which means if conditions change mid-project—unexpected rock, wet weather, drainage issues—we adapt without delays or extra fees. When we’re doing the excavation work, we’re already thinking ahead to final grading and landscaping so everything flows together logically.
For existing properties, we can combine mulch installation with other improvements like driveway repairs, drainage corrections, or septic system work. If you’re fixing a drainage problem that’s been washing out your landscape beds, it makes sense to address both at once. We’ll coordinate the work so you’re not left with a torn-up yard for weeks while waiting for different contractors to show up.
