Why mulch

A layer of mulch two to three inches deep holds moisture between rains, keeps roots cooler in summer and gives beds a finished look. We keep it pulled back from stems and the house siding.

Weeds pulled by hand

Weeds come out by hand, roots and all where the soil allows, before any fresh mulch goes down.

A clean bed line

We recut the bed edge with a flat spade so the lawn and the bed stay apart and the mower has a clean line to follow.

Questions

Questions about mulch and bed care

How often should mulch be refreshed?

Most beds need a top up once a year, usually in spring. We check the depth before adding more.

Can you choose the mulch color?

Yes. Tell us if you prefer dark brown, natural or black and we note it on the estimate.

Do you clear old leaves out of the beds first?

Yes. Old leaves and sticks come out of the bed before we weed and spread fresh mulch.
