We had them remove old pavers from our small backyard, patio, install new ones, build a retaining wall, regrade the backyard after a fence move, and reseed an area of the backyard. They did a great job and we are very happy with the work as well as the professionalism of the team. We were surprised at how quickly the seeded…

I have used Green Acres since 2016 for mowing and landscaping. My lawn is a steep hill and the staff does an amazing job. I have a large mulch area that Green Acres does each spring. I am extremely pleased and recommend them for any lawn care needs.

Commercial Property Manager here ! We recently made the switch to Green Acres from another "popular" commercial lawn care company.

Green Acres has been great in understanding our needs- we are a dual property with a…
FAQ

Mulching Questions in Wilmington, DE

Mulched planting beds edging a garden pathway
When should mulch be applied?

Spring is the most common time, after beds are cleaned out and edges are redefined. A fall top-up also protects roots through winter. Fresh mulch holds soil moisture during summer heat, suppresses weeds and gives beds a clean finish, so many properties refresh it each year.

How deep should mulch be?

A layer of roughly 2 to 3 inches suits most beds. Too thin and weeds break through, while piling mulch against tree trunks and plant stems invites rot and pests. We spread it evenly, pull it back from trunks, and keep bed edges crisp for a clean look.

What affects mulching cost?

Bed size, mulch type, the depth of any existing mulch, bed cleanup and edging, and delivery and access all affect price. Organic mulches such as wood chips, bark and compost price differently from rubber or stone mulch. We quote after seeing the beds or reviewing photos.

Is mulching part of your maintenance plans?

Mulching is also part of seasonal bed care under our landscape maintenance service. For one-time mulch installation or a refresh, this page applies. For ongoing bed care, cleanups and seasonal plans, see our residential landscape maintenance page or ask us which fits your property better.
