Please notify our office staff if your project requires more than 250 feet of hose for park or playground chips, or more than 200 feet for compost or Fertile Mulch. We need to ensure that we have sufficient hose on the truck and allow enough time to complete your project.

• During the hot and dry summer months the mulch can get dusty, but Bark King crews do everything they can to keep the dust to a minimum. If our crews ask to use your water please let them! Power blower trucks are equipped with dust suppression systems that do a great job. In addition, if the mulch is dry and dusty our installers will decrease the rate at which they blow in the material in order to keep the dust to a minimum.

• Mulch is a broad term that can be confusing. Technically mulches any material placed around plants to reduce weeds, moderate soil temperature, retain soil moisture and reduce soil compaction. Mulch can be organic (bark, fertile mulch, compost, woodchips, leaves etc.) or inorganic (rock, gravel, recycled rubber, recycle glass,etc.)
• At Bark King , we install organic mulches that include bark, fertile mulch & compost. We all can also install wood chips and sawdust, although these options are rarely used as mulches.

• Absolutely not! The mulches we install are all high-quality 100% natural and pesticide free with no dyes or colors.

• We understand just how busy everyone is so we make sure you do not need to be there to meet our crews. We have a well-earned reputation for getting it right the first time, so we take the time to make sure we understand exactly what you want done. If your landscape or scenario is tricky or intricate, we will have you leave a map for our crew so they know precisely what to do. We want to make sure you love what you see when you return!

• Typically, we are able to install 15 yards in an hour but that can very dependent on the material, how heavily planted your landscape is, and how far from the truck the material is being blown. Bark King’s crews are very efficient and able to complete projects very quickly, but quality will never be compromised for the sake of speed. In the end, we want to make sure we leave your yard looking it’s absolute best!
• Extremely intricate, complex or time-consuming sites may incur an additional charge or $150 per hour to be billed in quarter-hour increments.

When Bark King blows in your landscape mulch we apply that finishing touch that brings everything together and makes your entire yard look great. The amount of preparation you do is up to you, but if you want your yard to look like it’s absolutely ready for pictures best, and if you want to maximize the benefits your mulch can provide, we recommend you take the steps outlined in “preparation for a barking installation”. Then just sit back and enjoy the beautiful yard!
