Mulch doesn’t just clean up the look of your yard, it’s one of the simplest ways to improve soil health, reduce weeds, and help your plants hold onto moisture. At Siesta Lawn Care, we handle mulching for homes and businesses throughout Laporte. Whether you need traditional wood mulch or low-maintenance rock options, we’ve got the right materials and know-how to do the job right.

Why Mulch?

You might see mulch as a finishing touch, but it does a lot more than just make flower beds look tidy. Especially in a place like Laporte where the sun hits hard and the soil dries fast, mulch protects your yard from stress.

Benefits include:

• Moisture retention: Mulch locks in water so plants and grass don’t dry out as quickly.
• Weed control: A solid mulch layer blocks sunlight, slowing weed growth.
• Soil protection: Mulch reduces erosion and keeps the ground from baking under intense sun.
• Root insulation: It helps regulate soil temperature, protecting plants from heat and cold.
• Better curb appeal: Clean mulch beds instantly sharpen up your landscaping.

If your mulch is faded, patchy, or missing altogether, it’s time for a refresh.

Types of Mulch We Offer

We install a range of mulch types depending on your yard’s needs and your personal style:

• Shredded wood mulch: Natural, rich-looking, and great for moisture control around plants.
• Bark mulch: Long-lasting and decorative, ideal for visible beds and borders.
• Compost mulch: Adds nutrients to the soil. Perfect for gardens and vegetable beds.
• Rock mulch: Durable, low-maintenance, and great for xeriscaping or areas that don’t need watering.

Not sure what’s best? We’ll walk you through the options and help you choose based on function, color, and budget.

Where to Mulch

Mulching isn’t just for flower beds. We add mulch in key areas where it can do the most good:

• Around trees and shrubs to protect roots and reduce water loss
• In garden beds to boost nutrients and block weeds
• Along walkways and fences to create a clean border and cut down on trimming
• In rock landscapes to minimize erosion and define space
• Around play areas or utility zones where you want low-maintenance coverage

If there’s a bare spot or weedy area in your yard, chances are mulch can help.

Mulch vs. Rock: What’s Right for You?

Both have their benefits.

Wood mulch breaks down over time and feeds your soil, which is great for plant-heavy areas. It’s softer, organic, and easier to refresh seasonally.

Rock mulch, on the other hand, is all about low maintenance. It doesn’t break down, won’t blow away, and looks sharp year-round. It’s a smart choice for dry areas, shaded spots, or places where you don’t want anything growing.

Many homeowners in Laporte mix both: wood mulch in beds and around plants, rock mulch in side yards, corners, or near the driveway.

Our Mulching Process

We don’t just dump a pile of mulch and move on. Here’s how we handle each job:

1. Yard prep: We clear weeds, rake the beds, and smooth the soil.
2. Mulch delivery: We bring the right amount of material to your location. No mess, no leftovers.
3. Professional installation: We spread mulch evenly at the proper depth (usually 2–3 inches), making sure nothing’s choking your plants.
4. Final cleanup: We sweep walkways, shape edges, and leave your space looking clean and finished.

You get a refreshed yard, without doing any of the heavy lifting.

When to Mulch in Laporte

The best times to mulch are spring and fall:

• Spring mulching helps plants retain water and grow stronger as the weather warms.
• Fall mulching insulates roots and protects your soil over the winter.

If your mulch is faded, thinning, or washed out, we can top it off anytime.
