Garden mulching across Sydney. Hardwood and sugar cane mulch supplied and spread from $110 per cubic metre. Suppresses weeds, retains moisture. Published prices, online booking, before-and-after photos on every job.
Fresh mulch is one of the most cost-effective things you can do for a Sydney garden. A 75 mm layer of hardwood chip mulch suppresses most annual weeds, retains soil moisture through summer, and slowly improves soil structure as it breaks down. Mulching 40 m² of beds at 75 mm costs $480 in hardwood chip, all in.
We supply and spread two mulch types. Hardwood chip mulch ($150 per m³ supplied and spread) is long-lasting, suited to established shrubs and trees, and breaks down over 2-3 years. Sugar cane mulch ($110 per m³) decomposes faster, improving soil more quickly, and works better around vegetables and younger plantings.
For most standard Sydney suburban gardens, 1-3 cubic metres covers a full refresh of all established beds to a 75 mm depth. Use our garden measurement tool to trace your beds and get an area estimate before booking.
Hardwood chip mulch costs $150 per cubic metre and sugar cane $110, supplied and spread, plus a call-out. A 20 m² bed at 75 mm is $255 in hardwood or $250 in sugar cane. Prices as of October 2026; see the full price table.
75 mm (7.5 cm) is the standard depth for established garden beds. This is deep enough to suppress most weeds and retain moisture without smothering plant roots. Keep mulch pulled back 5-10 cm from plant stems to avoid collar rot.
Hardwood chip mulch typically needs topping up every 2-3 years as it breaks down. Sugar cane mulch needs refreshing annually. Top up when you can see soil through the mulch or the depth has dropped below 30-40 mm.
For established shrub and tree beds, hardwood chip. It lasts longer, looks neater, and suppresses weeds more effectively. For vegetable gardens and beds you turn regularly, sugar cane. It breaks down faster and improves soil structure more quickly. Many Sydney gardens use both.
