Mulch installation in Wildwood

Wildwood is about thirty-five to forty-five minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon. Lots in Grover, Winding Trails, the Villages at Brightleaf, and the three-acre neighborhoods have long beds under heavy canopy and, on the best-looking properties, a wide mulched band where the lawn meets the woods. Jobs here run large, so we measure carefully and quote by the yard installed.

The job covers weeding and clearing, a fresh spade edge or a reset stone edge, and two to three inches of shredded hardwood spread evenly. Shade beds get two inches so they do not stay wet, and tree rings are wide and shallow with the mulch kept off the bark. Because of the drive we schedule Wildwood mulch jobs in full-day blocks and build the travel into the per-yard price.

What a mulch job includes

Weeding and clearing the beds before any mulch goes down

Spreading two to three inches of hardwood mulch, kept off trunks and siding

Dark brown, black, or natural hardwood, delivered in bulk

Light trimming of shrubs that hang into the bed

Blowing walks and the driveway clean when we are done

We measure the beds

We measure your Wildwood beds in person or from photos and tell you how many yards of mulch they take and what it costs installed.

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.

Mulching the edge of the woods

A cleared, mulched band along the tree line is the most useful landscaping on a wooded Wildwood lot. It stops leaves and brush from creeping onto the lawn, gives the mower a clean line, and makes room for hydrangea, viburnum, and ferns that bridge lawn and forest. Shredded hardwood holds on Wildwood's slopes where nugget mulch would wash downhill. Spring is the busy season, and fall works just as well.

What mulch installation costs in Wildwood

Mulch in Wildwood 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 Wildwood homeowners

Spring, after the beds are cleaned up and before summer heat, is the busiest time in Wildwood. 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. Louis 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.
