Frequently Asked Questions
-
We recommend a mulch layer of 50–100mm. As the mulch breaks down over time, it’s time to re-apply. If you’re a regular garden maintenance customer, don’t worry—we’ll remind you when it’s time for re-mulching. Re-mulching keeps your plants healthy and helps save water throughout the year.
-
For Perth gardens, we usually recommend pine bark mulch. It’s perfect for keeping water in the soil while still allowing it to penetrate, lasts longer than cheaper options, and looks tidy in your garden. Depending on your plants and soil, we can also use river rock, pea straw, bark, post-peeling, or mushroom compost. We make sure the mulch is laid at the right depth to protect your plants, reduce evaporation, and prevent weeds.
-
A good mulch layer is generally 50–100mm (5–10cm). The exact thickness depends on your plants, soil, and garden location. If you’re unsure, we can assess your garden and give you professional advice and a quote.
-
Yes, but we avoid placing mulch directly against the trunk or base of the tree—about 80–100mm away. This protects the roots while keeping the plant healthy.
-
Absolutely! We can mulch gardens of any size, from small residential beds to large commercial properties. Get in touch, and we’ll plan the best approach for your space.
-
Some councils, like the City of Vincent, offer free mulch piles. While it’s great that green waste is being reused, free mulch can be a bit of a gamble.
It often contains a mix of different tree types, which might not suit your garden, and sometimes it can have contaminants like plastics, pesticides, or even pests.
Using free mulch might seem like a cost-saving option, but the potential problems could end up costing you more in the long run.
Preparing Your Garden Beds
To get the most out of your new mulch, a little extra prep goes a long way.
We can help remove stubborn weeds like crabgrass or onion weed, giving your garden beds a clean, fresh start before mulching.
We also offer the option to apply fertilisers and wetting agents, helping your soil retain moisture and keeping your plants healthy for longer.
These steps make a huge difference—ensuring your garden looks great and your mulch works as hard as possible.
