Freshen up those beds for the spring!

Mulch installation and mulching serves dual purposes; it looks good but it also helps retain water, which can be very important during the dog days of summer. Mulch keeps ground water from evaporating, thereby making some precious water available. But mulch applied haphazardly can actually be bad for the soil and the plants by compressing it too much, and not letting air in. So you need someone who knows what they’re doing, and has done it before, so they get it just right. At Shupe Services, we always get it just right. We do this by:

• Measuring the height of the existing mulch and knowing how much is the right amount to add

• Measuring how compacted the existing mulch is, and turning it over if necessary

• Helping you choose the right mulch for the area it will cover

So don’t assume just because mulching looks easy that it is. Like everything else in your landscape, there is more to it than meets the eye, and you will pay for a careless application. So don’t just pick the lowest-cost spreader, get the pro’s who take everything that’s happening on your lawn seriously. Pick Shupe Services for your next mulch installation job.
