    Mulching That Last

    Professional mulching services in Des Moines and Central Iowa. We install premium cedar mulch, hardwood mulch, and colored mulch to protect your plants, retain soil moisture, regulate root temperature, and give your landscape beds a clean, finished look all season long. Serving Ankeny, Urbandale, West Des Moines, and surrounding areas.

    In Iowa's climate, mulch does far more than look good. It insulates roots during our harsh winters, retains moisture during hot summers, and suppresses weed growth so you spend less time maintaining your yard. Proper mulching also prevents soil erosion during heavy Central Iowa spring rains — a common problem across Des Moines area properties.

    We Don't Stop Till You Love It

    Your satisfaction isn't just a goal—it's our promise. We'll work with you until every detail is exactly right. That's the Green Thumb difference.
