How much does professional mulching cost?
Professional mulching is one of the most cost-effective ways to boost your landscape’s health and curb appeal—and most homeowners are surprised how affordable it really is. On average, professional mulching costs between $80 and $150 per cubic yard of mulch installed, depending on the type of material you choose and the size of the area.
Here’s how the pricing typically breaks down:
Basic Mulch (Shredded Bark or Hardwood): Usually the most affordable option, ideal for routine maintenance.
Premium Mulch (Colored, Cedar, or Specialty Blends): Costs more but lasts longer, resists fading, and enhances landscape aesthetics.
Installation Included: Professional pricing includes delivery, spreading, bed cleanup, edging, and disposal of old mulch—so you’re not left with the heavy labor.
For most homeowners with average-sized beds, a full professional mulch application typically ranges from $200 to $600 total. Larger properties, thicker mulch depths, or premium materials can increase costs modestly.
More importantly than price alone is value: professional mulching helps suppress weeds, retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperatures, and give your landscape a finished, clean look. Mulch that’s installed poorly or unevenly often blows away, compacts, or fades quickly—negating any savings.
If you want a lush, polished landscape that performs season after season, professional mulching is a smart investment. Schedule a consultation to get an accurate estimate and a plan tailored to your yard.

History
In 1660, five men from Dedham were sent to explore the lakes near George Indian’s wigwam and to report back to the selectmen what they found. The report of those men, Daniel Fisher, Anthony Fisher, Sgt. Fuller, Richard Ellis, and Richard Wheeler, was received with such enthusiasm that in March 1661 it was voted to start a new settlement there. The Town then voted to send Ellis and Timothy Dwight to go negotiate with King Phillip to purchase the title to the area known as Wollomonopoag.
They purchased 600 acres of land for £24, 6s. The money was paid out of pocket by Captain Willett, who accompanied Ellis and Dwight. The Town voted to assess a tax upon the cow commons to repay him, but some thought the money should be paid by those who would be moving to the new village. The dispute resulted in Willet not being paid back for several years.
After the boundaries of the new community were set, the Town voted to give up all rights to the land in return for the proprietors paying Dedham £160 over four years, beginning in 1661. By January 1663, however, little progress had been made towards establishing a new village. A meeting was called, and the 10 men who volunteered to go raised several concerns about their ability to move forward.
After much discussion, it was decided not to give the 600 acres to the group of pre-selected men, but rather to lay out lots and then award them by lottery. Those who already began to improve their lots were allowed to keep them, and land for a church, burial ground, training ground, roads, and officer lots were not included. All were free to buy and sell their lots.
Not much happened at Wollomonopoag until 1668, at which time a report arrived of native peoples planting corn and cutting down trees on the land that Dedham had purchased. Eleazer Lusher was charged with sending the illiterate Indians a letter warning them to “depart from that place and trespass no further.” Samuel Fisher then took it to them and read it aloud, at which point they replied that they had every intention of remaining on the land. Though they had still not paid him back for the land in question, the Town then asked Willett to speak with King Phillip and ask that he intervene.
There is no record of Phillip’s response to that entreaty but, in August 1669, the Town Fathers received an odd letter from him offering to negotiate for more land if they would quickly send him a “holland shirt.” Dwight and four others were appointed to negotiate with him again, provided Phillip could prove he, and not another sachem, had the rights to the land. In November, an agreement was reached to clear the title for £17 0s 8d. There is no record of whether a shirt was traded.
Samuel Sheares lived alone at Wollomonopoag for some time before a new attempt at a settlement was undertaken in 1671. Five men, John Thurston, Thomas Thurston, Robert Weare, John Weare, and Joseph Cheeney moved there with him, followed the next year by Rev. Samuel Man, a one-time teacher in the Dedham Public Schools. Robert Crossman was employed at the same time to construct a corn mill.
Those who moved there were drawn from the middle class of Dedham. They were primarily people from outside of Dedham who had purchased land there, and second generation Dedhamites who moved without their parents. Without the outsides, it is questionable whether the new community would have survived.
Soon, however, the Wollomonopoag settlers complained that those in the village center were keeping them in a state of colonial dependency. They were upset about absentee landlords whose land values were going up thanks to the labor of the inhabitants and who refused to pay taxes to support the community. They also complained that with the seat of the town government being so far away that they were disenfranchised and best by a lack of capital. Constables refused to travel to Wollomonopoag to make collections, assessments, and social judgement.
With the blessing of Dedham’s Board of Selectmen, the General Court separated the new town of Wrentham on October 16, 1673.
It was burned down during King Philip’s War 1675–1676. In the nineteenth century, Wrentham was the site of Day’s Academy. For a short time, Wrentham was the residence of the educational reformer Horace Mann. It is also known as one of the residences of Helen Keller.
North Wrentham separated as an independent town in 1870 with Plainville splitting off as an independent town in 1905.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 22.9 square miles (59 km), of which 22.2 square miles (57 km) is land and 0.7 square miles (1.8 km) (3.14%) is water. Wrentham is bordered by Norfolk on the north, Foxboro on the east, Plainville and Cumberland, Rhode Island on the south, Bellingham on the southwest, and Franklin on the west. It has two large lakes towards the center of town, Lake Pearl and Lake Archer, as well as Mirror Lake on the Wrentham/Norfolk border and numerous smaller lakes. Sheldonville, or West Wrentham, is a rural section of Wrentham located on the western leg of town. Sheldonville still maintains a unique identity as the old farming section of Wrentham, has active commercial orchards, and has its own ZIP Code (02070). Wrentham drains into four watersheds. They are the Charles River to the north, the Taunton River to the east, the Blackstone River to the west, and the Ten Mile River to the south.
Wrentham is the only town of that name in the United States. It is named after the village of Wrentham, Suffolk, England. The only other Wrentham is Wrentham, Alberta. Wrentham, Massachusetts, is by far the most populous of the three.

What Benefits Does Mulch Bring to Your Property?
Mulch delivers some of the highest return-on-investment benefits of any landscaping service, both visually and functionally. When applied correctly, mulch improves plant health, reduces maintenance, and instantly elevates curb appeal.
One of the biggest benefits of mulch is moisture retention. Mulch helps soil hold water longer, reducing the need for frequent watering and protecting plants during hot, dry periods. This is especially important for shrubs, trees, and newly planted beds.
Mulch also plays a critical role in weed suppression. By blocking sunlight from reaching the soil surface, mulch significantly reduces weed growth, saving you time, frustration, and money on weed control throughout the season.
Another key benefit is soil temperature regulation. Mulch insulates plant roots, keeping them cooler in summer and protecting them from freeze-thaw cycles in winter. This leads to stronger root systems and healthier, longer-lasting plants.
From an aesthetic standpoint, fresh mulch provides a clean, finished look that instantly boosts curb appeal and makes planting beds stand out. It also helps define landscape edges and creates contrast against lawns and hardscapes.
Over time, organic mulch breaks down and improves soil quality, adding nutrients and encouraging beneficial microorganisms.
In short, mulch protects your landscape investment while making your property look polished and well cared for. Professional mulching ensures proper depth, clean edges, and long-lasting results, giving you maximum benefit with minimal upkeep.

What month should you mulch?
The best time to mulch is typically spring, with April and May being the most popular and effective months for most homeowners. Mulching in spring helps lock in soil moisture, regulate soil temperature as the weather warms, and suppress weeds before they have a chance to take over your landscape beds.
Spring mulching also gives your property an immediate visual refresh. Fresh mulch defines planting beds, highlights shrubs and trees, and instantly boosts curb appeal after a long winter.
That said, fall mulching—usually October or November—also has important benefits. Fall mulch acts as insulation, protecting plant roots from harsh winter temperature swings and freeze-thaw cycles. It’s especially beneficial for newly planted shrubs, trees, and perennials that need extra protection going into winter.
What you want to avoid is mulching too early in spring, before the soil has had a chance to warm up. Mulching frozen or overly cold soil can slow plant growth and delay healthy root activity.
For most properties, the ideal approach is:
Spring mulching for weed control, moisture retention, and appearance
Optional fall mulching for winter protection and soil health
Timing matters, but so does proper installation. Correct mulch depth, clean edging, and keeping mulch away from plant stems are critical to avoid rot and disease.
If you want maximum benefit and a polished look that lasts all season, a professional mulching service ensures your landscape is protected, healthy, and looking its best at the right time of year.

Should You Remove Old Mulch Before Applying New?
In most cases, yes—old mulch should be removed or reduced before applying new mulch. Simply piling fresh mulch on top of old layers is one of the most common landscaping mistakes and can actually harm your plants over time.
When mulch builds up too thick, it prevents water and oxygen from reaching the soil. This can lead to root rot, fungal growth, pest issues, and shallow root systems. Over-mulching—often called “mulch volcanoes”—is especially damaging around shrubs and trees.
That said, old mulch doesn’t always need to be completely removed. A professional approach evaluates the existing depth first. If there is more than 2–3 inches of mulch already in place, excess material should be removed before adding new mulch. If the old mulch has broken down into soil-like material, it can often be incorporated into the soil to improve structure and nutrients.
Removing old mulch also allows for proper bed cleanup, weed removal, edge redefining, and inspection of plant health. This ensures the new mulch is applied evenly, at the correct depth, and away from plant stems and trunks.
The goal isn’t just appearance—it’s performance. Proper mulch management improves moisture retention, reduces weeds, and protects root systems without suffocating them.
If you want your landscape to stay healthy and polished year after year, professional mulching is the safest option. A trained crew knows when to remove, reduce, or reuse existing mulch—protecting your plants and your investment.
