The short answer
Mulch installation done right does three jobs: it holds moisture through dry summer weeks, keeps weeds down and gives your beds a finished look. The right depth is about 2 to 3 inches. Too thin and weeds push through; piled too high against trees (the classic "mulch volcano") and it can rot bark and invite pests.
Most MetroWest homeowners refresh mulch in spring, after the spring cleanup and before summer growth takes off. A light top-up in fall is also an option. We prep the beds first, because fresh mulch over weeds and old matted layers never looks right for long.

It depends on how many cubic yards your beds need, the mulch type and how much weeding and edging the beds need first. As a rough market range, installed mulch in Massachusetts often runs somewhere around $80 to $150 per cubic yard, prep included. Text photos for a free estimate with no visit fee.
Spring is the most popular time, once the soil warms and the spring cleanup is done. A fall top-up also helps protect plant roots through the winter.
About 2 to 3 inches. Less lets weeds through; more can suffocate roots. Mulch should never be piled against tree trunks.
Usually we loosen or rake out old, matted mulch so the new layer does not build up too thick. If beds are packed too deep, we can remove some before adding fresh mulch.
Yes. Dark brown, black and natural tones each suit different homes and plantings. We will suggest what fits your beds.
