Why Choose Blown-in Mulch?

When it’s time to freshen your landscape mulch, you are left with a choice: do it yourself or call in the professionals? Mulching is a messy, time-consuming, and exhausting job so it makes sense to hire experts to spread the mulch for you, especially for a large landscaping project, tricky areas like steep inclines, or commercial property. Once you decide on hiring the professionals, you have yet another choice: a large crew arriving to spread the mulch by hand — and in the process leaving a mess, trampling your lawn, and costing a fortune in labor costs — or turning to mulch blowing, a cost-effective alternative with several benefits.

Many homeowners and commercial property managers aren’t familiar with the mulch blowing process yet. This somewhat new technique requires specialized equipment but delivers beautiful, professional results in a fraction of the time. Here’s why you should consider investing in blown-in mulch for your property.

Easily Mulch Inaccessible Areas

No one wants to push a full wheelbarrow of mulch up steep inclines or attempt to navigate around fencing to mulch. Blown-in mulch is a cost-effective solution for mulching anywhere on your property, including a commercial roof, large muddy areas, large surface areas like a playground, steep hills, and around shrubs and fences thanks to a long hose. Technicians can walk the property on foot and blow mulch where it’s needed without the hassle.

Smooth and Precise Results

While you can achieve beautiful results spreading mulch by hand or with a pitchfork, it can’t compare to the sleek, flawless results achieved with professional blown mulch installation. Technicians have a great deal of control over how mulch is delivered through the blower hose, delivering mulch precisely where it’s needed with an even application and smooth surface. Best of all, there will be no mess, spilled mulch, or lumpy areas.

Fast Installation

One of the biggest advantages of having mulch blown in is it takes no time at all compared to spreading mulch the old-fashioned way. Even a residential property can take days to mulch but commercial properties, playgrounds, and large areas can take even longer to do by hand. Using a powered mulch blower truck, a 300-foot-long hose, and two technicians, even a large property can be mulched in a single day.

Reduced Disruption

A crew of contractors can certainly be a disruption to your home or business as they spend a full day trampling your landscaping and making noise. Blown-in mulch can be installed in hours and it takes only two technicians walking on foot to spread the mulch. They’ll be gone before you know it, leaving behind beautiful results without the damage, mess, and noise.

Labor Savings

Blown-in mulch doesn’t cost as much as you may think. While mulch blower companies must invest in specialized equipment that adds to the cost, you do enjoy significant savings on labor. Rather than a large team spending an entire day to spread mulch by hand, two technicians are capable of delivering 100 yards of mulch in a day when it’s blown in. It would take a crew of 10 about 10 hours to achieve the same results, especially if your property has hazards that increase installation time like fencing, steep hills, and areas that are hard to reach with a wheelbarrow.

Variety of Mulch Types

You can choose from a huge variety of organic mulch that can be blown into your landscaping. A mulch blower truck works with all types of organic mulch, including specialty playground varieties, shredded mulch, and mulch chips. The mulch company can help you choose the right type of mulch for your landscape and design goals whether you want the mulch to last as long as possible, repel pests, or enjoy long-lasting color.
