Materials We Install by Blower Truck

What we install
Each material does a different job. Here is what it is, what it suits, and where to read more.
Medium Bark
Fir & hemlock · 1½–2″ minus
Heavy on fines, which is what blocks the weeds. Rake it and the nuggets sit up on the surface. The default for beds that have to look good and stay clear.
Fine Bark
Fir & hemlock · 1″ minus
Clean and uniform, with a finer, more manicured finish. Breaks down into the soil over time, so it doubles as a soil amendment.
Royal Mulch
Fertil-Mulch® · ½″ screened
Composted sawdust and manure. Goes down dark coffee and fades to light brown. High in nutrients and holds water — for beds you want to feed, not just cover.
Compost
Certified organic
Made from locally recycled garden prunings and trimmings. Adds organic matter, microbes and trace minerals, released slowly. Use it as mulch or work it in.
Playground Chips
Cedar · 1″ square, sliver-less
Untreated cedar in a lighter beige. Right for play areas, dog runs and pathways. Not for flower beds.
Getting the depth right
Depth decides whether the job works. These figures are for bark and mulch — compost and play chips are quoted by area and depth for the site.
For weed control
3 to 4 inches on the first application. Any thinner and weeds come through — and the material has been wasted.
For appearance only
2 inches is enough when the bed is already clear and you just want it looking finished.
Keeping it right
Apply in spring or fall, before heavy weed growth. Rake once or twice a year, top up every other year, and keep material clear of plant stems.
We count what’s already there
Before we quote, we measure the mulch already on the bed and count it toward the depth. You’re not paying to bury material that is still doing its job.
Not sure which one?
Most residential beds take medium bark. Fine bark for a tidier finish. Royal Mulch or compost when the soil needs feeding as well as covering. Cedar chips for play areas and dog runs, and ADA certified Sof’Fall where the surface has to meet a standard.
Where we install
Serving the Greater Eastside, Snohomish County and South King County — core area Woodinville, Bothell, Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue, Mill Creek and the Points communities.
