Give your Landscape
The Finishing Touch it Deserves

Without proper ground cover, your landscape can quickly look unfinished, unprotected, and uninviting. Over time, exposed soil can lead to weed growth, poor moisture retention, and stressed plants. It’s frustrating to spend time and money on your yard only to see it fall flat because of fading mulch or messy beds.

Every homeowner deserves a landscape that’s beautiful, functional, and easy to maintain—without the constant hassle of refreshing it themselves.

WHAT TYPE OF Mulch and Pinestraw should I use?

black mulch

Black Mulch

Black mulch is typically made from hardwood or recycled wood products dyed with carbon-based or iron oxide colorants to achieve its deep, rich tone. It offers excellent contrast against green plants and brightly colored flowers, enhancing the visual appeal of modern landscapes. Like other mulches, black mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Though it doesn’t enrich the soil, it breaks down slowly, making it a long-lasting, low-maintenance option ideal for high-traffic or high-visibility areas.

Red Mulch

Red Mulch

Red mulch is typically made from wood chips that are dyed with long-lasting, non-toxic colorants to achieve a bold, eye-catching appearance. While it doesn't enrich the soil like organic mulch, it offers excellent weed suppression and moisture retention benefits. Red mulch is a popular choice for decorative landscapes, especially around shrubs, trees, and flower beds, where its vibrant color enhances curb appeal. It breaks down more slowly than natural mulch, making it a low-maintenance option that holds its color for an extended period.

natural cypress mulch

Natural Cypress Mulch

Natural cypress mulch is made from shredded cypress trees and is valued for its light, golden color and pleasant aroma. It naturally resists decay, mold, and insects, making it a durable choice for long-lasting ground cover. Cypress mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature while providing a clean, finished look to flower beds, walkways, and landscape borders. Unlike dyed mulches, it maintains a natural aesthetic and breaks down slowly, requiring less frequent replenishment.

borwn mulch

Brown Mulch

Brown mulch is made from natural wood materials and dyed with environmentally safe colorants to achieve a warm, earthy tone that blends seamlessly with most landscapes. It offers effective weed control, moisture retention, and temperature regulation while providing a clean, finished look to garden beds and borders. Brown mulch is a popular, versatile option that complements both traditional and contemporary outdoor designs. It decomposes gradually, requiring occasional replenishment to maintain its appearance and performance.

Recycled Rubber, Playground Mulch

Rubber Mulch

Rubber mulch is a long-lasting, low-maintenance landscaping solution made from recycled rubber, often from tires. Unlike organic mulch, it doesn’t decompose over time, which means it doesn’t enrich the soil—but it does provide excellent weed suppression and moisture retention. Its durability makes it ideal for areas where a clean, polished look is desired with minimal upkeep, such as playgrounds, pathways, and decorative beds. Rubber mulch also offers the added benefit of cushioning impacts, making it a popular choice for play areas.

Long Needle Pine Straw

Long needle pine straw offers superior durability and a polished, uniform look, making it a premium choice for landscaping. Its longer, thicker needles form a dense, cohesive mat that lasts longer, suppresses weeds more effectively, and retains soil moisture better than other mulches. Ideal for both aesthetic appeal and low-maintenance upkeep, long needle pine straw is perfect for creating a clean, professional finish in any landscape.

Had them do mulching, new metal edging, and install a weed barrier. Set clear expectations on the work as there were some issues that arose such as not removing weeds and exact scope of work. Matt was quick to resolve the issues and delivered the work that was quoted.

I just recently bought a house with a very overgrown yard and Elite came and had my yard in perfect shape in no time! They were super efficient and thorough! Even taking the time to clean up broken glass from a spot in our yard so our dog wouldn’t step on it! Can’t recommend them enough!!!

Such a great job on re-mulching all my beds. The crew leader, Carson, did an awesome job keeping us up to speed throughout the project. The text reminders about appointments, when they were arriving, and for easy way to pay were awesome. Top notch company.
