Mulch Blower Trucks: The Future of Commercial Mulch Application

Need a quick, hassle-free solution for installing mulch at your home or business? Hiring a professional mulch-blowing truck service is the answer. Mulch blower trucks can efficiently install any mulch or decorative material with speed and precision unmatched by traditional application methods.

Organix Applied, a premium mulch-blowing service, uses powerful truck-mounted blowers to propel mulch and quickly cover landscape beds, tree rings, playgrounds, trails, and more. In an hour, they can mulch an area that would take days by hand. Blower truck services provide homeowners and businesses with a fast, cost-effective method to freshen up their landscaping and take curb appeal to the next level.

Benefits of Professional Blower Truck Services

Professional mulch blowing services provide many advantages compared to do-it-yourself mulching or manual installation:

  • Speed – Blower trucks can spread 100+ cubic yards of mulch per hour. An average bed can be mulched in minutes versus hours by hand.
  • Labour Savings – No need to hire or coordinate multiple landscape crews. A small professional team operates blower trucks.
  • Cost Efficiency – Despite the specialized equipment, blower truck services are competitively priced due to their labour efficiency.
  • Cleanliness – Minimal disruption of existing landscaping. No heavy wheelbarrows gouging the turf or crunching plantings.
  • Ease of Use – Hassle-free service. Just schedule the date and type/amount of mulch needed—no rental equipment or cleanup for clients.
  • Accuracy – Blower trucks place mulch precisely to the desired depth across the entire area. Even coverage would take a lot of work to achieve manually.
  • Accessibility – Unlike a landscape crew, blower trucks can easily access and mulch hard-to-reach spots like steep slopes and behind dense plantings.

No more sore backs or blistered hands from mulching by hand. Let the power of a professional blowing truck service make the job fast and painless!

What to Look for in a Mulch Blowing Service

To ensure a quality result when hiring a blower truck service, look for the following:
  • Experienced Operators – Ask about the training and expertise of the service technicians. Look for operators with certified training on the equipment from the manufacturer.
  • Specialization – Choose companies focused on mulch blowing services rather than a landscaper offering them as a side service. Specialization brings expertise.
  • Safety Record – The service should have strong safety protocols and training to prevent damage and injury. Ask about their track record.
  • Insurance – Ensure the company carries liability insurance to cover any potential damage or accidents on your property.
  • Professionalism – Do they call back promptly? Are staffers professional and courteous? Good communication and conduct demonstrate a quality service.
Organix Applied checks all the boxes regarding expertise, quality equipment, training, safety, and professionalism. They are the premier residential and commercial mulch-blowing service in the region.

What Does Blown Mulch Cost?

Mulch blowing service prices will vary based on the following:

  • Scope – Total square footage being mulched and depth of mulch.
  • Accessibility – Tight spaces, steep terrain, and various obstructions will increase labour.
  • Materials – Premium mulch types like cedar cost more than basic wood mulch.
  • Site Prep – Additional needs like weed removal/trimming add cost.
  • Location – Prices are higher depending on the distance needed to arrive.

Always get an exact quote from services based on your specific needs. Most provide free estimates. Given the dramatic labour savings, blown mulch is competitively priced versus do-it-yourself or manual installation.

When Should Mulch Be Placed?

Spring is the prime mulching season as beds are cleared from winter and new annuals are planted. But mulch installation can take place anytime:

  • Spring – Fresh mulch gives beds a clean appearance after winter dormancy. Install right after spring planting.
  • Summer – Freshen fading mulch and nourish plants during the hot, dry summer.
  • Fall – New mulch enhances the autumn foliage and prevents plants from heaving over winter. Avoid applying mulch over wet leaves.
  • Winter – Mulch insulation protects plants from winter cold and frost heave. Use temporary cover over new plantings if the ground is frozen.

Aim to mulch beds at least annually or when old mulch appears thin. Rake back the old mulch around plants before adding the new layer. Proper mulch depth is 2-4 inches.

Choose the Right Mulch Type

Blower truck services can install any mulch or decorative material to fit your landscape vision:

  • Wood Mulch – The classic mulch for its affordability and simplicity. Shredded hardwood or bark mulch comes in dark brown or dyed colours.
  • Cedar Mulch – A premium aromatic cedar with a beautiful red colour. It repels insects naturally but is more expensive.
  • Cypress Mulch – Light brown mulch with a fine, soft texture. Cypress has good moisture retention and resists decomposition.
  • Pine Straw – A layer of pine needle thatch perfect for southern landscapes. Provides a tidier, formal look.
  • Cocoa Hulls – Chocolate-coloured mulch made from crushed cocoa bean shells. Resists fading and weeds but can blow away.
  • Rubber Mulch – Shredded rubber tires make a safe, bounce-free mulch perfect for playgrounds. It won’t fade or rot.
  • Gravel/Rock – Decorative stone like pea gravel or crushed granite creates crisp, defined beds. It tends to migrate over time.
  • Compost – Nutrient-rich organic compost conditions soil while retaining some moisture. We will need occasional top dressing to maintain depth.

Talk with your blower truck service to decide which mulch variety best suits your project’s functional needs and aesthetic tastes.
