Bark and mulch installation in Salem

How we work

Cleared, hauled, clean.

Prep is the whole job

Bark dumped on top of weeds just grows weeds through bark. We pull the weeds, cut the edges and then lay the bark. That is why ours still looks good in August.

Pairs with every cleanup

Most cleanups end with a round of bark. It turns a cleared-out yard into a finished one.
