Spread ~200 sqft of mulch (equivalent to 30-35 bags or ~ 2-2.5 yards)

NEW - Yearly Maintenance Packages!
Package pricing is customized to each garden. The annual cost typically runs between $1 to $3 / sqft. Package details are provided below.
New clients must go the "Pay As You Go" route for the first year as their gardens may have special challenges (weed trees, excessive weed load, no mulch) that need customized attention. Once Shrub Appeal has addressed all of the challenges in the first year, maintenance becomes routine in following years. New clients can purchase a maintenance plan at any time prior to October in that year.
Returning clients can then choose between any of the packages listed below. Returning clients must purchase a maintenance plan prior to March 15th of that year. The labor costs factored into the package pricing assumes maintenance will begin in March. If services are delayed, the weed load may be higher through the year and require extra attention.
Watering Services
Pricing is highly dependent upon location and watering needs, please call for pricing.
Vacation Watering
Go have fun! We'll take care of your plants and veggies while you are away.
Drip Irrigation
We can help you install drip irrigation if you'd like watering assistance all summer long. We like drip irrigation over soaker hoses because drip irrigation allows you to customize the water needs for specific plants. Some plants need a lot of water while others will die if watered too often.
Drip irrigation pairs nicely with smart watering meters that open and close valves at specific times and don't overwater when it rains. These systems are highly water efficient so you should reduce water usage too!
