WHAT IS MULCH BLOWING?
One of the most popular services we offer at EA Quinn Landscape Contracting is mulch blowing. However, there are still people who don’t know what mulch blowing is, so we decided to write this blog post to help bring everyone up to speed.
Anyone who has attempted to spread mulch over any significant area can attest to the fact that it’s a tedious and occasionally back-breaking job. And that’s the beauty of mulch blowing. It’s fast, efficient, and leaves you with an attractive bed of mulch.
At EAQ (formerly E.A. Quinn), we have a large truck with a tube attached that literally sprays mulch. Beyond the simple fact that mulch blowing is fast and efficient, it also offers additional benefits:
- It can reach almost anywhere. Thanks to the long tube that we use, we can reach almost any remote corner of a property with our mulch blower.
- Mulch blowing is particularly good at spreading a uniform layer of mulch on steep sloops. While having a person stand on the steep sloop trying to spread mulch can get mixed results, a mulch blower can guarantee a consistent level of mulch even on the steepest grades.
- We all know that adding mulch to your flower beds every couple years helps keep weed growth at a minimum and keeps moisture in the soil for plants. Our mulch blowing trucks can install up to 100-150 cubic yards of mulch per day. Production rates may be even higher if the beds do not have much plant material to work around.
If you have planting beds that have a lot of perennials, the best time to mulch your beds is early in the spring before those perennials sprout. If you have a heavily planted garden, mulch blowing may not be the best option. Our operators can carefully work around your plant material that has already sprouted, but it does tend to add some time to the job. Mulch blowing is great because we can reach anywhere in your yard up to 500 feet away from our truck. The application of mulch can be done in areas that wheel barrows cannot get to.
Mulch blowing allows us to efficiently get your mulching done in a quicker manner. You no longer need to waste your weekend wielding a pitchfork and pushing a wheel barrow. Most jobs are completed in a few hours or up to a full day at most. This allows you to focus on other areas of your yard or home and allow us to do the heavy lifting.
