Featured Reviews for Mulching Companies in Santa Barbara

Family Tree & Garden
Mulching Companies in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 14, 2019
“I am so pleased with the landscaping work that Family Tree and Garden has performed in both my front and backyards. The transformation is amazing. Lawns and junipers were pulled out in both areas and new, beautiful drought resistant plants and bushes were planted and are doing superbly. A well thought out plan was drawn and the placement of the plants was aesthetically stunning. A new drip system was installed, a redwood container garden was built, a gazebo was installed, stepping stones were placed perfectly, a water feature was installed, baskets were placed around plants to guard against gophers, bricks were installed around plants in the driveway area to prevent bark run off, and boulders were used to give the gardens an attractive look. All work was completed on time, invoices were prepared in a timely manner, and the estimated costs were adhered to with no hidden charges or fees. I had many estimates and plans discussed with other companies but none came close to the quality of Family Tree and Garden. The types of plants used are interesting and hardy and we always get compliments from many people who walk by our house. I'd recommend this company highly!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 27, 2017

EcoLawn SB
Mulching Companies in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 7, 2016
“i found EcoLawn through this website. Jessica and Beau and their company did a fantastic job on our front and back yards which are a combination of artificial grass, plants, rocks, and flagstone. My husband and I had somewhat of an idea of what we wanted but needed help with the design and the kinds of plants. Jessica came up with most of the plan and then Beau added his touch. It came out very well and we have gotten compliments from all our neighbors. Some people don't even think the front lawn area is artificial! Jessica went above and beyond and was instrumental in our quest for and receipt of the drought-tolerant rebates that were available. I highly recommend them - great people to work with, friendly but professional.”
Ashley Farrell Landscape Design
Mulching Companies in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 23, 2015
“Ashley Farrell was chosen for our landscape project out of a group of five landscapers that we interviewed. She was the most engaged in our project and her pricing was the fairest out of all of them. Her experience was also a very high factor in our consideration of landscapers. We knew going into this major project that it would be a long term job. We had an acre that had to be made beautiful. First, we had to have everything torn out. Then the hard scape had to done, all new patios, new driveway, retaining walls, remodeled pool etc. Ashley worked as our co-ordinator on everything for us and kept us all sane. Ashley was also the only landscaper that we interviewed that was also hands on. She was there everyday and worked as much or more, with her fabulous crew. Phase two is probably going to start in late winter when she transforms our lower lot into a beautiful 20' X 20' fruit and vegetable garden. All in all we were and are very pleased with Ashley.”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration of a mulching project depends on the size of the area to be mulched and the complexity of the job. Small to medium gardens might take a few hours, while larger projects could take a day or more. Your mulching company will give you an estimated timeline after assessing your project.
Your Mulching Company can advise on the best materials based on your soil type, climate, and garden design. Organic mulches like wood chips or straw are popular for their soil-improving benefits, while inorganic mulches such as rubber or rocks might be preferred for specific aesthetic or functional purposes. Trends might include color-coordinated mulch or using mulch to create pathways or define spaces in your garden.
Before mulching, clear the area of weeds and debris. Water the soil if its dry, as mulch will help to retain moisture. Consider edging your beds or defining areas to keep mulch in place. Finally, communicate any specific requests or concerns to your Mulching Company to ensure the best results.
Common challenges include selecting the wrong type of mulch for the plants or climate, applying too much or too little, and not adequately preparing the area. A professional Mulching Company can overcome these challenges through their expertise, ensuring the right amount and type of mulch is used and properly preparing the garden beds.
Yes, professional mulching can improve curb appeal, contributing to a well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing landscape. This not only makes your property more enjoyable to live in but can also increase its value by enhancing its overall appeal to potential buyers.
Mulching, especially with organic materials, is considered environmentally friendly. It helps to conserve water, reduces the need for chemical weed controls, and as organic mulch decomposes, it adds beneficial nutrients back into the soil. Choosing locally sourced mulch can also reduce your carbon footprint.
