Mulch & Decorative Stone

Panorama installs mulch and decorative stone with cut bed edges across Wilmington and New Castle County. Mulch is the cheapest thing you can do to make a property look maintained, and the part that actually matters is the edge: a cleanly cut, defined bed line makes an average planting look deliberate.

We install at the right depth. Too thin and weeds come through, too thick and you suffocate roots and pile mulch against trunks, which is how mature shrubs are slowly killed.

Common questions

How often should mulch be refreshed?

Once a year for most properties, usually in spring. If last year's layer is still two inches deep, you need a light top-up, not a full installation, and we will say so.

Mulch or decorative stone?

Mulch feeds soil as it breaks down and suits planted beds. Stone lasts far longer and suits drainage areas and low-planting zones, but it holds heat and is a real job to remove later.

Do I need landscape fabric?

Under stone, usually yes. Under mulch, usually no. Fabric under mulch stops the mulch from doing its job of enriching the soil and tends to surface within a couple of years.
