In Denver, the weather can be unpredictable and the soil is often nutrient-starved. Mulching and composting provide crucial support for your garden. These practices offer numerous benefits:

  • Moisture Retention: Mulch helps soil retain water, reducing the need for frequent watering.
  • Weed Suppression: A well-applied mulch layer blocks sunlight, preventing weed growth.
  • Soil Enrichment: Finished compost improves soil structure, adds nutrients, and supports healthy plant growth.
  • Erosion Control: Mulch prevents soil erosion during heavy rain or strong winds.
  • Eco-Friendly Practices: Composting reduces organic waste, keeping it out of landfills while promoting a circular, sustainable ecosystem.

Backyard Composting: What We Handle

We understand you have multiple options when it comes to composting, such as organizations like Compost Colorado. What sets us apart from other Denver area providers is our complete lifecycle application. From collection to professional dispersion, we handle all aspects of your organic material needs.

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and other organic debris from your property.

Vegetable peels, fruit scraps, coffee grounds, and eggshells (no meat or dairy products). Consider using a smaller bin designed for kitchen use to collect scraps before transferring them to a larger composting bin.

Spent flowers, plant trimmings, and weeds (non-invasive varieties). Use smaller indoor bins to throw food scraps before transferring them to larger outdoor green bins.

Non-Compostable Products

Not all materials should not be used for composting due to a variety of reasons. Some of those items include:

  • Grease and oils
  • Some paper products (colored or glossy)
  • Pet waste
  • Meat
  • Ash
  • Sawdust
  • Diseased plants
  • Dairy products
  • Bread and baked goods
  • Styrofoam

Our Composting Process

Our compost pickup services start by collecting organic materials from your property and sorting them into green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) categories.

The materials are carefully layered and managed to maintain optimal moisture and temperature levels, accelerating the decomposition process in our compost bin.

Regular turning ensures aeration and uniform breakdown of materials.

Once the compost is ready, it can be applied to your garden to improve soil fertility and structure.

Why Invest in Both Mulching and Composting?

When used together, mulching and composting create a powerful synergy for your garden or landscape. Compost improves soil health from within, while mulch provides external protection. Here’s how these practices complement each other:

  • Enhanced Soil Quality: Compost enriches the soil, and mulch locks in those nutrients while preventing erosion.
  • Improved Water Management: Compost enhances soil’s water retention, and mulch reduces evaporation, ensuring plants stay hydrated.
  • Weed-Free Growth: Mulch suppresses weeds, allowing compost-enriched plants to thrive without competition.

By integrating both services, Denver Lawn and Snow Care ensures your garden achieves optimal health and sustainability.
