What type of mulch is best for Seattle gardens?
Bark mulch and wood chips are most common in Seattle. Dark hemlock bark suppresses weeds, holds moisture, and breaks down slowly.
How deep should mulch be spread?
2–4 inches is standard. Keep mulch away from plant stems and tree trunks to prevent rot.
How do I price mulch jobs?
Most pros charge by cubic yard delivered and spread. Minimum job sizes of 3–4 yards help keep margins healthy.
