The Kid Next Door
The Varsity Mulching Story
Expert Quality. Youthful Spirit
The Kid Next Door: Good Landscapes Start With Good Neighbors.
My story is simple: I started Varsity Mulching with a few of my hockey teammates in high school. We chose the name Varsity because that's what we were at the time. As the business grew, Varsity came to mean something more. It became a standard for attention to detail, clear communication, and customer service that people could rely on.
As we scaled, I wanted to protect that standard. That's why we partnered with three local colleges to bring student athletes from the fields to our clients' mulch beds. We pair them with highly experienced crew leads who know the work and set expectations on every job. The result is a dependable, professional experience that delivers consistent results without losing what made Varsity special in the first place.
Everyone's hired the neighbor's kid to spread some mulch. Varsity is that kid — just with better equipment and a system that works every time. Our crews are college kids from the area. You've probably seen them around. They're local, they show up, and they do the job right.
Thank you for being part of our story.
