Mulch Installation
Fresh mulch does more than look clean — it holds moisture in Wisconsin’s dry summer stretches, insulates roots through our cold winters, and slows the weed pressure that hits hard in June. Martinez Landscaping delivers and installs mulch for beds of any size across Oconomowoc and surrounding Southern Wisconsin communities, using the right depth and material for each situation. We do the hauling, spreading, and edging ourselves — no subcontractors on your property.
- Bulk mulch delivery and hand-spreading to a consistent 2-3 inch depth across all bed areas
- Bed edging cut or refreshed before mulch goes down so lines stay sharp after installation
- Material selection guidance — shredded hardwood, cedar, or dyed mulch — based on your beds, drainage, and sun exposure
- Removal of old matted mulch when it has broken down to the point of blocking water and air from reaching roots
- Clean, crew-only installation with no subcontractors and no strangers on your property
- Written estimate provided before any work begins so you know the exact scope and cost upfront
How It Works
Our Process for Mulch Installation
Free written estimate
We visit the property, measure the bed areas, assess whether existing mulch needs to come out, and give you a written estimate covering material, labor, and any edging work.
Material and timing selection
We confirm which mulch type fits your beds and schedule delivery and installation for a time that works for you — most residential installs are completed in a single visit.
Edging and bed prep
Before mulch goes down, we define or refresh the bed edges and remove any debris or matted-down old mulch that would prevent moisture from reaching the soil.
Installation and cleanup
We spread mulch to the right depth, keep it pulled back from plant crowns and tree trunks, then clean up any material that lands on the lawn, driveway, or walkways before we leave.

Common Questions
FAQ: Mulch Installation
Most beds in Southern Wisconsin benefit from a fresh layer every 1-2 years. By the second spring, shredded hardwood has usually broken down enough that depth is too thin to suppress weeds or hold moisture through summer.
Not always — if the existing layer is thin and still loose, we can top-dress over it. If it has compacted into a mat that blocks water from reaching roots, we recommend pulling it out first, which we include in the estimate.
Shredded hardwood is the most common choice in this region and holds up well through Wisconsin winters. We keep it pulled back a few inches from trunks and crowns regardless of material to prevent rot and pest problems.
