Have you heard about mulch blowing services, but you’re not sure if it’s right for your property? Well, you’re right to wonder. Mulch blowing is a great service, but it doesn’t work on every property.
E.A. Quin’s mulch blower allows us to install mass amounts of mulch in a timely and efficient manner. The process involves a specialized truck that injects air through a compressor into a hose and physically blows the mulch material through the hose. This allows us to park the truck up to 500 feet away from where we are placing the mulch. It’s great for tight spaces, rooftops and other areas you can’t reach with standard wheel barrows.
Mulch blowing is mainly successful on larger installations, particularly commercial properties where the mulch beds are quite large . While we can direct the stream of mulch pretty accurately, it does get tough to use when there are a lot of fragile delicate plantings. That is better left to be mulched by hand.
Blown in mulch can be particularly efficient for playgrounds at schools . Playgrounds are typically wide open and making the mulch easy to install. Playground mulch is applied many inches thick to allow for a “soft” landing for kids playing on the structures. Playground mulch has been very effective in injury prevention on most playgrounds.
