Instant curb appeal. Weed suppression. Moisture retention. Call (803) 873-4293
Ground cover does more than make beds look finished. The right material retains moisture through brutal Midlands summers, suppresses weeds, regulates soil temperature, and gives your property instant curb appeal.
Taylored Lawns & Tree Service installs mulch, decorative rock, river rock, and pine straw for residential and commercial properties across Lexington and West Columbia. We handle everything from small bed refreshes to large-scale installations.

Ground Cover Options
Hardwood Mulch — classic dark brown, holds color well, breaks down to enrich soil over time
Dyed Mulch — available in black, brown, and red. Holds color longer than natural mulch
Pine Straw — lightweight, natural look, ideal for sloped beds where mulch washes away
River Rock — smooth, natural stone in various sizes. Permanent, no replacement needed
Decorative Gravel — pea gravel, crushed granite, and specialty stone for paths and beds
Rubber Mulch — playground-grade recycled rubber for play areas and high-traffic zones

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mulch installation cost?
Mulch installation is priced by the cubic yard plus labor. Most residential properties need 3 to 10 cubic yards. We provide a detailed estimate after measuring your beds. Delivery and installation are included in every quote.
How often should mulch be replaced?
We recommend refreshing mulch once a year, typically in spring. A 2-3 inch layer is ideal. Rock and gravel are permanent and only need occasional topping off.
Should I use mulch or rock?
It depends on the look you want and your maintenance preferences. Mulch is cheaper upfront and enriches the soil but needs annual replacement. Rock costs more initially but lasts indefinitely and does not attract termites. We can help you decide based on your beds and budget.
