How do I prepare my yard for mulch or barkdust?

  
  
  
  
  

It is best to first weed and clear loose debris such as leaves where the product will be spread. You may want to have a pre-emergent down (weed preventative) as well. If the product will be blown on it is best to also close your doors and windows, and have the sprinkler system turned off 24 hours prior to our arrival. Please inform our office if extra attention needs to be paid to pets, water features, sensitive plants etc. If there is a need to park, or enter onto your driveway, please let us know so we can get a damage waiver form completed before starting the job.

When is the best time of year to apply bark dust. We are thinking of having it done in the Fall, but wondering if we should wait until Spring

Juliana, 
 
Thank you for your question. 
 
If you have bare dirt I would suggest installing the barkdust now to help protect your plants from the winter cold, and to help with erosion control. 
 
If you have a good base and are strictly getting barkdust for aesthetic purposes I would suggest waiting until next February or March. 
 
Thanks again!
