Bulk mulch by the yard

Why Mulch Matters for Your Trees

A proper mulch ring holds moisture through a Hill Country summer, keeps soil temperature steady, suppresses weeds and keeps mowers and string trimmers away from the trunk, one of the most common causes of tree damage in residential yards. Done right, it is the single best low-cost thing you can do for a tree.

Keep it about 3 inches deep and pulled back from the trunk. Piling mulch against the bark holds moisture where it does not belong and damages the tree, which is why we build proper rings when we spread.

Mulch services

Mulch from a Tree Company, Not a Big-Box Store

Our mulch comes from the trees we remove and trim locally, processed and delivered in bulk. No bags to haul, no trips to the store.

Bulk Delivery by the Yard

We deliver throughout Dripping Springs and the surrounding area, and bulk costs far less than buying the same volume in bags. We place the load where it is convenient for you, not just at the curb.

We Do the Yardage Math

Most people have no idea how much mulch they need, and that is fine. Send square footage or a photo of the beds and we will tell you the yards. One cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches deep.

Spreading & Mulch Rings

Add spreading to any delivery. Our crew installs the mulch and builds proper rings around your trees, about 3 inches deep and pulled back from the trunk, so the mulch helps the tree instead of hurting it.

Hill Country know-how

Why Mulch Is the Best Thing You Can Do for a Hill Country Tree

Dripping Springs summers run weeks above 100 degrees, and the thin soil over limestone dries out in days, not weeks. A 3-inch mulch ring is the cheapest irrigation system there is: it holds moisture in the root zone, keeps soil temperature steady through heat and the occasional ice storm, and feeds the soil as it breaks down, which matters in ground that has almost no organic matter of its own. It also keeps mowers and string trimmers away from the trunk, one of the most common causes of tree damage in residential yards. Because our mulch is hardwood from local trees rather than dyed softwood trucked in from out of state, it breaks down slowly and does not float away in a Hill Country downpour. Just keep it off the bark: a mulch volcano piled against the trunk invites rot and insects.

Hold water through August

Mulched beds need noticeably less water through a Central Texas summer, and the trees under them come through drought in better shape. Pair a fresh ring with deep-root fertilization for stressed oaks.
