Hear what a customer says

“This is the third time we have used His Workmanship. So far we’ve had great crews on our property. They have weeded out hosta beds, dug up buckthorn, planted several shrubs and installed around 70 bags of mulch. I have referred them to my friends and plan to have them come back next summer for more work. I would highly recommend His Workmanship.” – Linda

Frequently Asked Questions

Mulch spreading and bed installation labor is billed at a simple hourly rate of $55-$60 per hour per worker. On average, two workers can move, wheelbarrow, and spread 2 cubic yard of mulch in approximately 60 minutes. Spreading a standard 6-cubic-yard bulk delivery typically requires 6 total labor hours ($330-$360), while larger 12-cubic-yard projects take around 12 total labor hours ($660-$720). Hourly billing ensures you only pay for the exact time required to complete your job.
Look for a reliable labor team that offers transparent hourly pricing, strong customer reviews, and clear guidelines regarding materials. Choosing a labor-only service saves you money by eliminating corporate material markups. You simply order your preferred bulk or bagged mulch directly from a local supplier, and the crew handles all the heavy wheelbarrowing, bed edge preparation, precise spreading, and final cleanup.

Factors like steep backyard inclines, narrow side gates, long wheelbarrow travel distances from the driveway to back flower beds, or working with individual bags instead of a central bulk pile can add labor time. Additionally, if flower beds require extensive weeding or grass edging before mulch can be applied, those preparation tasks will add to the overall project duration.
Organic mulch is far superior for plant and soil health. As mulch slowly decomposes over time, it enriches the soil with vital nutrients, regulates ground temperature, and retains moisture during hot summer months. In contrast, landscape rocks absorb excessive heat from sunlight, which can bake plant root systems and dry out garden soil.
The ideal depth for garden bed mulch is 2 to 3 inches. Applying a layer thinner than 2 inches allows sunlight to reach buried weed seeds, defeating the purpose of weed suppression. Conversely, spreading mulch deeper than 4 inches can smother plant root zones, prevent rainwater from penetrating the soil, and cause root rot.
Yes, when applied at a consistent 2- to 3-inch depth, mulch creates a barrier that blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds in the soil, preventing them from germinating. For maximum long-term weed control, homeowners can supply heavy-duty landscape weed barrier fabric to be pinned down over cleared soil before the mulch layer is spread.
For any project requiring more than 1 cubic yard of material (roughly 13–14 standard 2-cubic-foot bags), ordering bulk mulch delivered to your driveway is far more cost-effective. Bulk mulch is cheaper per yard, ensures consistent color across your entire yard, and eliminates single-use plastic bag waste. Bagged mulch is generally best suited for minor top-offs or small container gardens.
Choose a color that contrasts nicely with your home’s exterior siding and brickwork. Natural brown or dark chocolate mulch complements red brick and warm-toned homes. Black mulch creates a modern, sleek contrast against light grey, blue, or white siding. Red-dyed mulch pairs well with earth-toned houses and lush green lawns. Natural, undyed hardwood mulch is typically the most budget-friendly option.
Garden beds should be top-dressed with a fresh 1-inch layer of mulch every 1 to 2 years to restore vibrant color and replenish organic nutrients as the bottom layer breaks down. Completely scraping out and replacing old, decomposed mulch is rarely necessary and typically only done every 4 to 6 years if excessive buildup occurs.
No, wood mulch itself does not attract or feed termites because shredded, digested wood mulch lacks the structural cellulose required as a primary food source for termite colonies. While mulch retains ground moisture, termites on a residential property are typically attracted by decaying tree stumps, stacked firewood piles, or clogged gutters rather than garden bed mulch.

My name is Sam and this is my second summer picking up clients through the His Workmanship platform. I heard about this company from my friend who attends a Christian organization called Young Life. What I like most about this side hustle is that I can work outside with my friends. I’ve made a lot of money and it’s been a great opportunity to help various people in my community. This has definitely been the best summer gig I’ve had thus far in my life.
