Frequently Asked Questions
When should I mulch my landscape beds in Georgetown?
The ideal mulching window in Scott County is late April through May, after soil temperatures have warmed. Mulching too early can keep soil cold and delay plant emergence. Top-dress with 1–2 inches of new mulch annually — a fresh layer over existing mulch keeps beds looking sharp without over-mulching, which can cause rot and root suffocation. Fall mulching (October–November) is also beneficial for protecting perennial roots through winter.
How much mulch does my property need in Georgetown?
We calculate mulch volume based on your actual bed square footage and current depth. A standard 2-inch application requires about 1 cubic yard per 150 square feet of bed space. We handle all measuring, delivery, and installation — you don't need to calculate or order material. We use premium double-shredded hardwood mulch that holds color well and breaks down slowly in Central Kentucky's climate.
