As a professional landscaper, you know that mulch placement can make or break your project timeline and budget. When it comes to managing large-scale landscaping projects, material placement is often one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks. If you’re looking for a more efficient, cost-effective way to install mulch at your large-scale landscaping projects, it’s time to consider blown-in mulch services. The cost benefit of blown-in mulch placement will give your landscaping company an undeniable advantage.
How Does Blown-In Mulch Placement Work?
At Superior Groundcover, our crew loads the type of mulch you need into one of our large blower trucks. Then, we bring the mulch to your job site. Unlike mulch delivery companies, we don’t just dump the mulch and run. Instead, we provide the most efficient mulch application service you’ve ever seen.
Blown-in mulch placement eliminates the need for manual spreading with wheelbarrows, rakes and shovels. With our fleet of blower trucks and expert team, we can place large amounts of mulch up to 11 times faster than a team could by hand.
Our advanced blower trucks use long, flexible application hoses. Our crew members use those hoses to carefully and precisely install mulch exactly where you need it. We can easily place mulch in hard-to-reach areas like steep slopes, tight spaces, and even around intricate landscaping features or all types of plants .
Blown-In Mulch Is Safe For Your Site
Although our trucks are large, our long application hoses allow us to park in a place that keeps your commercial property or landscaping site safe from tire tracks and other lawn damage. When we are done with the mulch blowing services, we clean up any stray pieces of mulch, leaving the site looking better than ever.
With Superior Groundcover, mulch placement at large job sites can become an efficient and streamlined process. With our services, wasting hundreds of hours of manual labor on mulch installation becomes a thing of the past. Instead, you get beautiful, evenly-placed mulch in a matter of hours.
Many of our clients leverage the efficiency of blown mulch installation to scale their landscaping businesses. Vibrant Outdoors, for example, was able to pursue new opportunities for growth after partnering with us for mulch blowing services.
The Challenges of Manual Mulch Placement
Traditional mulch installation may seem simple and straightforward to the untrained professional. However, you and I both know that placing mulch by hand is full of hidden costs that can jeopardize your budget in a flash. Material placement can easily become your biggest expense, especially when things don’t go as planned.
With manual mulch placement, you are always battling:
The Physical Strain of Heavy Lifting
Manual mulch installation is exhausting. Long, hot days spent shoveling increase the chances of worker injuries. Without a full team, you’ve got to dip into the budget and start paying overtime to get done on time.
Weather Delays
If only the weather was a little more predictable. Manual mulch installation is often disrupted or delayed by the rain and thunderstorms, forcing you to up the overtime once again to meet your deadline.
Wasted Materials
No matter how careful you are, placing mulch by hand can get messy. Spreading mulch manually often leads to uneven mulch distribution and lots of stray pieces or dust left around the job site.
Missed Opportunities
When your team is busy spreading mulch by hand, you have to turn down work and say no to more profitable projects.
Commercial landscaping companies who rely solely on manual labor for mulch installation usually end up frustrated by the inefficiency and diminishing profit margins. Choosing blown-in mulch can transform your business, save time, and free your team up to take on more profitable work.
The Cost Benefit Of Blown-In Mulch
Blown-in mulch placement evenly distributes mulch in half the time or less.
Here at Superior Groundcover, we have perfected the mulch blowing process to help landscapers and property managers tackle large-scale projects with ease. Our mulch blowers can install mulch efficiently, precisely, and cleanly without any stress or strain on your team.
Not only does it make your job easier but using mulch blowing services also comes with significant cost benefits.
Here are some of the standout cost advantages of spreading mulch using mulch bowers:
1. Reduced Labor Costs
Choosing blown-in mulch means your team won’t be tied up placing mulch by hand. No more heavy lifting or relying on shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows. Our expert team and fleet of blower trucks can quickly and accurately spread mulch across large areas.
This means fewer man-hours spent per job and reduced overall labor costs.
2. Time Savings
Mulch placement that typically takes days, or even weeks, can now be completed in just a few hours. With blown-in mulch, projects stay on track—even with unpredictable weather conditions. We just need a small window of sunshine to fit in the mulch blowing services. Mulch blowing will help you get more projects done on time no matter what the weather throws your way.
High-quality work completed on time means happy clients. Satisfied clients almost always become repeat clients. Therefore, we are saving you time and setting you up for long-term business growth. Superior Groundcover has a 96% customer retention year after year.
3. Predictable Costs
With blown-in mulch installation, we can give you precise material calculations and cost estimates from Day One. Without the unpredictability of overtime and extended project timelines, you can provide estimates with confidence. On-time projects means happier clients. On-budget projects means a healthier business that is able to grow.
4. Cleaner Worksites
Traditional methods of spreading mulch can leave behind a big mess. Once you finally finish placing mulch by hand, you still have to go back and clean up all the stray pieces, dust and piles left on site.
Blown mulch installation drastically reduces waste. Since our team is able to manually guide the application tubes, we can install mulch precisely where it’s needed and at the depth required. Less stray materials lead to less waste and less time cleaning up after the installation work is done. To make the mulch installation process even easier on your team, we include clean up in our mulch blowing services.
5. Increased Accessibility
Mulch blowers can reach tight or hard-to-reach areas that would be nearly impossible to handle with manual mulch installation methods. We can even tackle commercial properties with steep slopes and uneven terrain or areas with fragile soil that require minimal disruption. With our mulch blowers and expert team, we can install mulch in pretty much any outdoor space.
The ROI of Blown-In Mulch for Landscapers
By reducing labor costs, cutting time spent on projects, and minimizing material waste, blown-in mulch creates clear cost savings for commercial landscaping companies.
Plus, you’ll know exactly how much the mulch blowing services will cost from the beginning. That means you can easily work the cost into the project estimate.
How much would it be worth to:
- Get jobs done faster
