Mulch & Landscape Bed Installation in San Antonio
Fresh mulch and well-defined beds make the biggest visual difference for the least money. Recover Landscape does it right — clean edges, proper depth, and beds that actually stay looking good.
Fresh mulch is one of the best investments you can make in your yard's appearance. It suppresses weeds, retains moisture during San Antonio's dry spells, regulates soil temperature, and makes every bed look intentional and cared for. Peyton installs mulch at the right depth (2–3 inches), keeps it away from plant stems to prevent rot, and cuts clean edges that define the bed from the lawn. Whether you're refreshing existing beds or starting from scratch, the result is a yard that looks polished and put-together.
Why San Antonio Homeowners Need This Service
San Antonio's intense summer heat and periodic drought make mulch one of the most cost-effective investments a homeowner can make. A 3-inch layer of mulch reduces soil moisture evaporation by up to 70%, keeping plant roots cooler and reducing watering frequency significantly. In neighborhoods like Stone Oak and Alamo Heights, where mature live oaks and ornamental plantings are part of the landscape character, fresh mulch in the spring is as much a visual upgrade as it is a practical one. Cedar and hardwood mulch also suppress weeds naturally, reducing the need for herbicide applications in flower beds.

What's Included
Our Process
Quote & Material Selection
We measure your beds and recommend the right mulch type — cedar, hardwood, or pine bark — based on your plants, aesthetic preference, and budget.
Bed Preparation
We edge the beds cleanly, remove weeds, and rake out old decomposed mulch if needed. Clean beds make the new mulch look sharp and last longer.
Mulch Delivery & Installation
Fresh mulch is delivered and spread evenly at a 3-inch depth — deep enough to suppress weeds and retain moisture without smothering plant crowns.
Edging & Cleanup
We create clean, defined edges between the mulch and the lawn, and blow any stray mulch off hard surfaces.
Care Instructions
We advise on watering adjustments now that mulch is in place — you'll likely need to water less frequently.
