The Benefits of Mulch Installation for Garden and Landscape Beds in Wethersfield, CT
A fresh layer of high-quality bark mulch is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve the health and appearance of your garden beds in Wethersfield, CT. Whether you own a residential property, manage a commercial landscape, or oversee an HOA community, professional mulch installation can help enhance curb appeal, suppress weeds, and protect plant health year-round.
Moisture Retention for Healthier Plants
Wethersfield experiences hot summers and occasional dry spells, making moisture retention crucial for maintaining a lush, green landscape. A properly installed layer of mulch helps trap moisture in the soil, slowing down evaporation and ensuring that your plants receive consistent hydration. According to research from the University of Rhode Island, bark mulch can reduce soil moisture loss by up to 25%, meaning less frequent watering, healthier plants, and improved drought resistance.
Natural Weed Suppression
Dealing with weeds can be frustrating and time-consuming. A thick layer of mulch creates a natural weed barrier, blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds and reducing weed growth by up to 90%. This minimizes the need for chemical herbicides and regular weeding, keeping your garden beds looking clean and well-maintained with minimal effort.
Long-Term Soil Improvement
As mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil by adding organic matter, improving aeration, and boosting soil nutrients. This encourages stronger plant roots, better drainage, and overall healthier soil structure. By incorporating mulch into your landscaping routine, you can reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and create a sustainable, low-maintenance landscape.

Preparing wethersfield Garden And Landscape Beds For Mulch Installation
Weed Removal: We begin with a thorough weeding of the garden beds. We remove any existing weeds by hand, ensuring we get the roots to prevent future regrowth.
Clear Debris: We remove any plant debris, rocks, or old, torn, landscape fabric, that may hinder the new mulch's ability to regulate soil temperature and retain moisture.
Define Edges: Using a sharp spade or an edging tool we clearly define the edges of your garden beds. This not only improves appearance but also helps contain the mulch within the desired areas.
Install Landscape Fabric (Optional): For added weed control, laying down landscape fabric is an option.
Plan for Planting: If you're having us install new plants, we usually do so before mulching. This allows us to place the plants exactly where you want them and ensures the mulch doesn't interfere with the planting process.
Mulch Application: Finally, we apply mulch evenly across your garden beds, maintaining a thickness of about 2-3 inches. We avoid piling mulch against plant stems and tree trunks to prevent moisture buildup and potential rot.
It's not really a good idea to just start spreading out mulch without some preparation to the garden and landscape beds. For a proper, professional level installation you'll want to properly prepare the areas where the mulch will be installed.
We are happy to add garden and landscape bed preparation and clean up services into your estimate. It makes an amazing difference in how good the mulch will look after installation.

Do You Have Questions About Bark Mulch Installation In Wethersfield?
A depth of 2 to 4 inches of bark mulch is generally recommended for landscape beds, based on the recommendations of various horticulturists from leading universities. Any less and it won't last very long, any more and it could prevent your plants from getting water and oxygen to their roots.
Bark mulch typically lasts for one to two years, depending on the climate, soil type, and other factors. It is generally recommended to replace the mulch every one to two years or as needed.
It is not necessary to remove old bark mulch before adding new mulch. However, it is recommended to rake or agitate the old mulch to loosen it up and mix it with the soil to promote it's decomposition.
Bark mulch is generally safe for pets and children, but it is recommended to keep them away from the mulched area until it is settled and dry. Some types of bark mulch may contain chemicals or dyes, so we often recommend the use of natural, untreated mulch if this is a concern.
Bark mulch can that is applied properly in a layer 2 to 4 inches thick can provide a really good barrier against weeds. It can stop seeds from germinating by blocking their sunshine and access to water. However, bark mulch will not prevent 100% of weeds from coming through and will eventually need to be replaced.
Bark mulch is best installed during the early spring where it has a chance to do the most good for your landscape beds by preventing weed growth early in the season.
Landscape cloth, also known as weed barrier or landscape fabric, is commonly used in gardens and landscaping projects to help suppress weed growth and provide a barrier between the soil and mulch. However, there are several disadvantages to using landscape cloth below bark mulch and we generally don't recommend it.
#1. It Can Reduce Soil Quality: Landscape cloth can impede the natural flow of air, water, and nutrients into the soil. This can result in poorer soil quality and health, potentially limiting plant growth for the plants you actually do want to grow.
#2. Limits The Breakdown Of Organic Matter: By blocking the contact between the mulch and the soil, landscape cloth can limit the breakdown of organic matter from the mulch into the soil. This reduces the benefits of applying mulch, such as improved soil structure and nutrient availability for plants.
#3. Weeds And Grasses Can Still Grow: Over time, organic debris can accumulate on top of the landscape cloth, providing a suitable environment for weeds and grasses to grow. Additionally, some persistent weeds may still grow through the fabric.
#4. Makes Planting More Difficult: Installing new plants or reconfiguring the layout of your garden can be more challenging when landscape cloth is present, as you will need to cut through the fabric to create space for new plants.
#5. Durability Issues: Although some landscape fabrics are designed to be long-lasting, they can eventually degrade due to exposure to the elements, requiring replacement. In some cases, the fabric can tear, rendering it less effective as a weed barrier.
#6. Environmental Concerns: The production and disposal of synthetic landscape cloth can have negative environmental impacts. Some fabrics are made from petroleum-based materials, which are not biodegradable and can contribute to plastic pollution.
#7. Aesthetics: The edges of landscape cloth can sometimes become visible, detracting from the overall appearance of your garden or landscape.
While landscape cloth can be helpful in certain situations, it's important to consider these potential disadvantages before installing it under bark mulch.
Bark mulch can be used in vegetable gardens and around fruit trees, as it helps maintain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature. If you plan on installing bark mulch in your vegetable gardens and around fruit trees it's best to choose a bark mulch that doesn't use any color dye or the dye is non-toxic.
Some types of bark mulch can slightly affect soil pH, but generally not enough to harm most plants. If you'd like us to we can test your soil pH and choose a bark mulch that suits your specific plants' needs.
Bark mulch is made from the outer layer of trees, wood chips are small pieces of wood, and shredded bark is longer strands of bark. Each type has different characteristics and may be more suitable for specific applications.
We do not offer “delivery only” services on mulch. We are a landscaping company and not a product supplier. If you require mulch delivered for you to install on your own, we suggest contacting your nearest landscape supply company.

Also I am very particular about everything that is being done and they never disappoint. You will be very satisfied and very happy with the work that the team completes for you. Sincerely Paris
Dave was easy to work with, very professional, use high quality materials, dedicated to your project and show up on-time, work was scheduled exactly as planned, my patio came out stunning! Highly recommend using this company.
Scenic takes care of the grounds in our complex. We recently hired them to trim the arborvitae by our patio. They did a really nice job and it looks very professional.
After receiving multiple quotes and meeting with several contractors, we decided to use Scenic to replace our patio and add a Cobblestone border with stone fill. They provided a timeline for the work and arrived promptly, cleaning-up each day, and communicating throughout the process. Our neighbors (many, since we are in a condo) commented about how meticulous and professional the team was. In fact, several members of the Board even wished to seek a bid to have them handle our landscaping! They couldn't believe how thorough the team was. I even noticed the team leafblowing the grass where they had driven their trucks in order for it to stand back up again and look untouched. We look forward to reaching out for future work and possibly sealing our patio in the spring.
Scenic Landscaping does excellent work! We love our new patio! We are also very happy with tree removal/ brush clean-up in the back of our yard. They are always professional and clean everything when they are done!
I couldn't be happier with the results! The guys worked in sweltering heat for 5 days and still completed my landscaping and new patio in that short time- amazing! Scenic will definitely be my "go to" for any future landscaping and maintenance.
Recently had Scenic install a new patio and walkway for our home. We were very happy with the work, it looks great and the guys did a excellent job. We have also used them for snow removal and other landscaping projects. Would definitely use them again and we recommend them to all our family and friends.
Scenic came in and designed, planned, and installed a patio and retaining wall in my back yard. The price was right and the materials were great. Top quality work from a great group of guys. They were on time and completed the job early. cleaned up everything, topsoil, seed, and even put the bird feeders and planters back. Couldn't be happier with the job they did. I Definitely recommend them for your next project
