Reasons to Use Blown-In Mulch on Commercial Properties and Business Complexes
Adding mulch to your landscape is one of the most effective ways to polish the outside of your business and make it stand out. Customers are more likely to come in, no matter the kind of business you operate. Landscape mulch covering the ground in all areas adds a uniform look of consistency, increasing the curb appeal of your landscape design.
Of course, you put thought and effort into your landscape design outside your business, but without mulch it has not reached its optimum effectiveness. Maybe you’ve considered mulch or even had it put down in the past.
If your property is large, you may have been overwhelmed by the number of trucks and workers sent to put it down and spread it out. A large load of bulk mulch was dumped on your property and kept you and your customers distracted for days.
Innovative Process for Applying Mulch
You may not yet know that a new process for quickly and evenly putting blown-in mulch into place exists. Our leading-edge technology utilizes the most efficient means of spraying blown-in landscape mulch. Let us explain.
Those blowers you’ve seen on the roadside where wildflowers grow have been adapted and upgraded for use in applying mulch precisely and evenly into place.
Our North Carolina based mulch installation companies use trucks or trailers to haul mulch to your large, important commercial projects. Installers have a special set-up on these vehicles to blow mulch right into place.
With over 100 foot long hoses, installers can get to those hard to reach areas, even those with rocks or hills. These can be mulched evenly using our state of the art equipment.
Mulching the Flowerbeds and Borders
Mulch applied this way is particularly effective in large flowerbeds, or shrub and tree borders, those on hills or even flat on the ground. Large beds can take days or even weeks to mulch using the wheelbarrow method. And the foot traffic needed to get the mulch into places wheelbarrows can’t go can damage the surrounding soil or even the plants.
If your beds are thickly planted, it will, of course, take longer as the installers are careful not to damage the plant material. Spraying in early spring allows the best coverage as plants sprout from the bed.
As you may know, there are lots of good reasons to use mulch in your flowerbeds. These include:
- Mulch keeps weeds from sprouting
- Mulch holds in moisture so watering is needed less often
- Biodegradable mulch decomposes, adding nutrients and enriching the soil
When using a sprayer and one individual to direct the hose, installers can cover up to 100-150 cubic yards of mulch per day in planted or unplanted beds. If your property has ornamental beds of this nature, let us explain how an installer can protect your plants.
Playgrounds and Pools
Playgrounds on apartment complex property benefit from a layer of mulch, as do pool areas. Anywhere children play, jump, and run are somewhat protected by blown-in mulch. Falling on a two to four-inch mulch layer, as opposed to bare ground, softens the falls and sometimes prevents injury.
Swing sets, slides and other play equipment surrounded by the protective covering are safer for small children, really those of any age. This allows parents to take their children to play with fewer safety concerns and, in the long run, can make your complex a favorite for families and singles with children alike.
The bare ground around the pool area is more attractive when covered with an even layer of blown-in mulch and safety is important here too.
Apartment Complexes for Seniors
If your complex caters to Seniors, a protective layer of mulch over the bare ground can keep them safer, as well. Unfortunately, falls happen to those of any age, but this group is a little more likely to experience a slip. Take this into consideration when calculating your mulch. Our local installer will explain what is most appropriate in your situation.
Our installers offer a wide selection of mulches. Ask your professional installer when they stop by. They’re happy to show samples and explain what will work best in your particular landscape situation. Installers offer a selection of wood fibers and colors to provide superior functionality as it controls weeds and adds safety from falls.
