Why Is Mulch Important for Your Landscape?
Fresh mulch does more than improve curb appeal. A properly installed layer of mulch can:
-
Help the soil retain moisture between watering and rainfall
-
Reduce weed growth by limiting sunlight at the soil surface
-
Insulate plant roots from rapid temperature changes
-
Help reduce soil erosion and compaction
-
Give flower beds, trees, and landscaped areas a clean, finished appearance
-
Add organic matter to the soil as natural wood mulch breaks down
For most landscape beds, mulch should be spread in an even layer and kept away from direct contact with tree trunks, shrub stems, and building foundations. Our team can evaluate your existing beds and recommend the right approach for your property.

Which Mulch Is Best for My Property?
The best mulch depends on where it will be used and the appearance you want. Natural hardwood and bark mulches work well in flower beds and around many trees and shrubs. Dyed mulch provides longer-lasting visual contrast, while wood chips are a practical option for walkways and larger utility areas. Certified playground mulch is made for recreational spaces, and rubber mulch offers another durable option for select applications.
Our team can help you choose a color and texture that complements your home or business while fitting the needs of the area being covered.

How Much Mulch Do I Need?
The amount of mulch you need depends on the square footage of your beds and the installation depth. As a general estimating guide, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep or 108 square feet at 3 inches deep.
To estimate cubic yards, multiply the area's square footage by the desired depth in inches, then divide by 324. Irregular beds, existing mulch, slopes, and settling can affect the final amount, so contact us if you would like help estimating your project.
If your landscape beds need more than a fresh layer of mulch, ask us about our topsoil and soil delivery services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mulch
Do you deliver mulch in Huntington, Indiana?
Yes. McGuin's Solutions offers mulch delivery in Huntington and select surrounding communities. Delivery availability and cost depend on the address, product, and quantity ordered. Contact us for a quote.
Can you install the mulch for me?
Yes. We offer complete mulch installation for residential and commercial properties, as well as delivery-only service for customers who want to complete the work themselves.
What is the best time of year to install mulch?
Mulch can be installed through much of the growing season. Spring is popular for refreshing beds and controlling early weeds, while fall mulch can help insulate plant roots ahead of colder weather. The best timing depends on your landscape and goals.
How deep should landscape mulch be?
Many established landscape beds benefit from approximately 2 to 3 inches of total mulch. Existing mulch should be considered before adding more. Too much mulch can retain excess moisture and restrict airflow, especially when piled against trees or plant stems.
Should old mulch be removed first?
Not always. If the existing mulch is still in good condition and the total depth will remain appropriate, it may only need to be loosened and topped with a fresh layer. Matted, contaminated, overly deep, or deteriorated material may need to be removed or redistributed first.
Do you offer mulch for commercial properties and playgrounds?
Yes. We serve both residential and commercial customers and offer multiple materials, including certified playground mulch. Contact us to discuss the property, intended use, quantity, and installation requirements.
Can you install mulch around trees?
Yes. Mulch can help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, reduce weed growth, and give the area around your trees a clean, finished appearance. We install mulch around trees while keeping it properly spaced away from the trunk.
If you’re also dealing with a dead, damaged, or unwanted tree, McGuin’s Solutions offers tree removal and stump grinding to help prepare the area for new landscaping.
