Clean flower beds, crisp stone borders, and fresh ground coverings protect plant roots while giving your home instant curb appeal. JK Seriously installs garden beds, dark organic mulch, Texas river rock, and chiseled stone borders for properties throughout San Antonio, Austin, New Braunfels, Schertz, and Boerne.
Summer ground temperatures in San Antonio routinely surpass one hundred degrees. A three-inch blanket of hardwood mulch cools root systems by fifteen degrees and slows water evaporation by forty percent. For low-maintenance xeriscapes, smooth river rock delivers twenty-year longevity without decomposing, though it requires commercial weed barrier beneath to keep soil separate.
Key Takeaway: Three inches of mulch depth is ideal; piling mulch against tree bark causes fungus rot.
We pull existing weeds, trim edge trenches three inches deep, and remove faded mulch.
We lay commercial-grade woven geotextile fabric, securing seams with steel staples.
We blend compost into planting zones and install drought-tolerant native varieties.
Mulch or decorative rock is spread evenly at uniform depth and all adjacent walkways are blown clean.
Organic mulch installation starts at $95 per cubic yard installed. Decorative river rock and granite projects typically range from $160 to $240 per ton installed.
Mulch retains soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and regulates root temperature. Decorative rock offers long-lasting, low-maintenance curb appeal that withstands wind and heavy rain.
We recommend an even depth of two to three inches. Applying more than three inches can suffocate shallow plant roots and retain too much moisture near stems.
River rock does absorb heat during midday sun. We pair rock beds with heat-loving native plants like succulents, yuccas, and lantana, while reserving organic mulch for delicate shrubs.
Organic wood mulch should be refreshed once a year in Central Texas to replenish color and organic nutrients.
Natural limestone chop stone and commercial-grade steel edging provide the cleanest separation, stopping grass from creeping into beds.
