Gardening is Grounding and Good for the Immune system

It is one of our goals to make having a gardener affordable.Thorough and efficient work ethic is a must! (That means get the job done within the time frame the client can afford) 

We primarily clean garden beds, pull weeds and put on mulch, however are skilled in design and can take on projects to achieve our clients dream garden or small scape which may include hauling debris out or hauling soil and mulch in. Gardening is more than just pulling a few weeds, it is at times hard work.  Seeing our customers satisfaction with a job well done is worth it. 

Mulch On is part of Spokane Scapes Professionals and use the Spokane scape methods of sod removal with sheet mulching occasionally we will actually remove sod by hand if it is a small area.  We plant drought tolerant plants, veggie gardens, create dry river beds, and will assist with any Spokane Scapes project that client is willing to do part of themselves. See our owner assist program.

Working in the dirt is good for you!

 All employees are required to get in the soil.  We believe that the soil is grounding and good for the immune system. Further research on gardening found it improved life satisfaction and mood. Digging in the dirt really does lift your spirits. The digging stirs up microbes in the soil. Inhaling these microbes can stimulate serotonin production, which can make you feel relaxed and happier.
