I couldn’t be happier with the service from On the Block Lawn Care! Communication is excellent, work is high quality and very dependable. I even went out of town for two month during the onset of spring, and returned to everything looking great. Highly recommend!

I've used On the Block Lawn Care twice so far and I love their work and communication. And the price is reasonable. The last time they put the lines in my grass like at a golf course. Beautiful!

FAQs

How much does mulch installation cost?

Mulch installation is $135 per cubic yard, delivered and spread. There is a 1 cubic yard minimum. Want a rough idea first? Try our mulch installation cost calculator.

How much mulch do I need?

It depends on your bed size and depth. One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at 1 inch, 162 square feet at 2 inches, or 108 square feet at 3 inches. We measure your beds when we quote, so you don't have to figure it out yourself.

How deep should mulch be?

Existing beds usually need 1 to 2 inches. New beds usually need about 3 inches.

Do I need to be home for the quote?

No. As long as we can get to your beds, we can measure them without you there.

How soon can you install my mulch?

Most projects are scheduled within a week of approval. When we're busy, it can take up to two weeks.

Does the type or color of mulch change the price?

No. Every mulch type we install is $135 per cubic yard. Pine straw is priced separately at $17 per bale.

When is the best time to install mulch?

Spring is the most popular time, but any time works except when the ground is frozen. In the fall, mulching after the leaves are cleared keeps your beds looking clean through winter.

How often should I refresh my mulch?

We recommend a fresh top layer at least once a year to keep the color looking good. We also recommend removing old mulch every 1 to 2 years.

Can you deliver mulch without spreading it?

Yes. Delivery-only is available if you'd rather spread it yourself. Mention it in your quote request.

Commercial Mulch Installation Service

We also install mulch and pine straw for offices, retail sites, HOA common areas, and rental properties. We measure every bed on the site and send you one quote for the full property, so it’s simple to approve and budget.
