Old Town Bark & Supply - Rainier's Trusted Landscaping Services

In Rainier's moist climate, we recommend applying a 3-4 inch layer of quality bark mulch, which suppresses weeds by blocking sunlight and retaining consistent moisture. We use locally-sourced materials that are effective against common Pacific Northwest weeds. Regular maintenance and proper edging also help prevent weed encroachment from surrounding areas.

For most Rainier landscapes, we recommend trimming shrubs 2-3 times per year: in early spring before new growth, mid-summer to maintain shape, and late fall to prepare for winter. Some fast-growing varieties common in our region may need additional attention. Our team can assess your specific plants and create a customized schedule.

Absolutely. We start by professionally clearing overgrown shrubs and weeds, then implement preventive measures like proper pruning techniques, strategic mulching, and ongoing maintenance plans. We'll help you select low-maintenance plants suited to Rainier's climate and show you how to keep your landscape looking great year-round.
