Mulch
The common types of mulches used by our company are pine straw, recycled pine cone shavings from seed companies, shredded pine, and pine nuggets from the bark of pine trees left whole. These are organic types mulches that decompose and improve the soil in most instances. Mulch helps with weed control along with retaining moisture to keep plants healthy. We generally discourage dyed mulch because of the way the ink reacts to the soil. More research is needed before we understand how dyed hardwood mulch reacts with the soil. Mulch helps reduce dirt splashing on structure, and helps with weed control in conjunction with herbicide treatments for the hard to kill weeds.

Sod
While some people prefer to establish their lawn by seed or methods such as hydroseeding, some will choose sod for instant gratification and erosion control in the landscape. This is the best and most expensive option for establishing a weed free lawn, with the same grass species through and through. Sod Installation is the only way to establish some warm season turf grasses, most commonly St. Augustine grass. When deigning your landscape, we will go over the four warm season turf grasses that we can grow in Louisiana. We will go over pros and cons for Zoysia grass, St. Augustine, Centipede, and Bermuda, along with the improved cultivated varieties of each. Many times, we will establish a budget for sod installation and delivery, and lay a band around the foundation, and other important areas like slopes and driveways. The rest can be seeded with Bermuda or Centipede grass to establish over time with care.
