Mulch installation in our home city

Our shop is at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon, so a mulch job here is usually on the schedule within a week of your call, and spring mulch season is our busiest stretch. We mulch beds all over the city, from the older homes near Fort Zumwalt Park and Main Street to WingHaven, Hutchings Farm, and the newer subdivisions along Highway K and Bryan Road, where the builder's thin layer has long since disappeared.

Every job starts with weeding and clearing the bed, then a fresh spade edge or a reset of the stone edge, then two to three inches of shredded hardwood spread evenly and kept off trunks and siding. The mulch comes in bulk, so there are no bags to haul and no plastic to throw away, and we blow the driveway and walks clean when we are done.

Mulch delivered and spread

The mulch arrives in bulk and the crew wheels it in, spreads it to an even depth, and tucks it under the edge of every plant.

Beds that stay clean

A fresh layer holds moisture through summer and keeps most weeds from sprouting. A top-up each spring keeps it that way.

What mulch does for an O'Fallon bed

O'Fallon beds sit on clay that bakes hard in August and stays soggy in April. A proper mulch layer evens that out, holding moisture through the dry months and keeping most weed seed from sprouting. WingHaven and the other HOA neighborhoods expect beds to look kept, and a fresh dark layer with a crisp edge is the fastest way to get there. Most O'Fallon customers refresh in spring and top up every year or two.

What mulch installation costs in O'Fallon

Mulch in O'Fallon is priced per cubic yard installed, with the estimate free. The total depends on:

Bed area and depth. One cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at three inches. We measure so you are not buying extra.

Mulch type. Dyed black and brown hardwood costs a bit more per yard than natural shredded hardwood.

Bed prep. Weedy, overgrown beds take more labor to clean out before mulching than beds that were mulched last year.

Edging. A fresh spade edge is included. New stone or paver edging is quoted as its own line.

Access. Beds behind a fence or down a slope take longer to wheel material into.

Mulch Installation questions from O'Fallon homeowners

Spring, after the beds are cleaned up and before summer heat, is the busiest time in O'Fallon. Fall mulching works well too and protects roots over winter. We install mulch from March through November.
Multiply the bed's length by its width to get square feet, then divide by 100 for cubic yards at a three-inch depth. A typical front foundation bed takes two to four yards. We will measure for you.
Usually no. Old hardwood mulch breaks down into the soil and only needs a light fluff before the new layer goes on. If the old layer is more than four inches deep or matted, we rake some off.
Shredded hardwood is the standard for St. Charles County beds. It knits together so it stays put on slopes and does not float off in a heavy rain the way nugget mulch does.
Yes. A wide, shallow ring around a tree, kept a few inches off the trunk, is one of the best things you can do for it. Piling mulch against the bark is what causes problems, and we never do that.
