Why Mulch Your Garden
Mulch is essential for water smart gardeners, helping to suppress weeds and conserve moisture while improving the look of our gardens. Quite simply it is a layer of material spread on the ground around plants. Spread the mulch to a depth of 7 – 10 cm, the mulch has to be thick enough to suppress weeds but thin enough to still allow water to penetrate.
Mulch helps to conserve water by reducing evaporation from the soil surface. Good organic mulch will break down, and in the long term will improve the condition and fertility of the soil. Leaving the mulch to sit in a big pile steaming is the best way to prevent nitrogen draw down, if you have the space and the time leave the delivered mulch in its massive pile for 2 – 3 weeks by which time it will have used its own heat to speed up the decomposition process.
Our Garden Mulch
Our garden mulch is made from chipped branches and leaves that we mulch throughout the day, our tree mulch is cheap solution to covering garden beds to save on water evaporation
How To Use Our Garden Mulch
If you haven’t got the space or the time then before spreading the mulch use a fertiliser rich in nitrogen such as a complete slow release product or manure {pellets or aged – not fresh it will burn the plants}. This will prevent the mulch sucking nitrogen out of the soil to aid the decomposition process.
The leafy mulch has more vitamins for the plants, but it will decompose quicker than woody mulch. However woody mulch is low in nutrients.
Species of trees for mulch – any mulch is good for the garden – all mulches will be freshly cut and will require fertiliser if spread within a week after delivery to prevent plants yellowing and slowing growth down.

Our Feedback
could not fault these guys. Prompt service, removed a dead gum and a few other crappy trees, cleaned up properly, and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended
I had a wattle trimmed hanging over from neighbours. Ben and Jush provided Great service. Very efficient. Cleaned up afterwards I would thoroughly recommend them.
Fantastic job by Ben and the team. Job was completed as expected and left the site nice and clean. Third time I have used Bens service and wont be the last. Cheers
Very pleased in using Simpson's, they were skilful and quick to remove my 4 trees and reasonably priced.
23 cypress trees 15 metres tall and in danger of falling (as one already had broken off above 5 metres) between two properties had to be removed as one property was due to be sold. Bids to do the work were received from contractors known to each of the owners and Simpson Tree Service who had done work on the property before was the low bid and could do the work immediately. 4 men for 2 days and 3 men for one day cut down the trees by climbing and lowering branches and the trunks. A wood chipper produced 4 loads of 10 cubic metres as the trees were cut down to 4 metre stumps to prevent any future growth. At the end of each day the workplace was cleaned up of sawdust and cuttings. The work site safety procedures were evident each day and the team work was outstanding. A GREAT JOB WELL DONE BY BEN AND THE TEAM AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND Simpson Tree Service for similar work.
