Our Mulching & Edging Process

01

Bed Preparation

Beds are weeded and existing mulch is raked out or turned before fresh material is applied.

02

Edging

Crisp edges are cut between lawn and beds using a bed edger or spade for clean, defined borders.

03

Mulch Installation

Mulch is applied at a 2–3 inch depth — deep enough to suppress weeds without suffocating plant roots or creating trunk rot.

04

Final Cleanup

Excess mulch is blown or swept from walkways and borders, leaving a clean, professional finish.

Mulching & Edging FAQ for Jacksonville Homeowners

How often should Jacksonville homeowners get mulching & edging?
Given Jacksonville's hot, humid summers averaging 90°f with afternoon thunderstorms, most homeowners benefit from mulching & edging at least once a year. Year-round roof algae removal from heat and humidity often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Jacksonville most need mulching & edging?
CBS concrete block and stucco homes throughout Duval County and Ranch homes in suburban St. Johns County are the most common home types in Jacksonville and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How deep should mulch be applied?
2–3 inches is ideal. Less than 2 inches won't suppress weeds effectively; more than 4 inches can restrict oxygen, retain too much moisture, and cause root or trunk rot.
Should I remove old mulch before adding new?
If existing mulch is less than 2 inches deep and not matted or moldy, you can add on top. If it's thick, matted, or has mold, removal or turning is recommended.
What type of mulch is best?
Hardwood bark mulch is popular for aesthetics and longevity. Cedar repels some insects. Pine bark is good for acid-loving plants. Rubber mulch lasts longer but doesn't improve soil. Personal preference and plant needs drive the choice.
How often should mulch be refreshed?
Once a year in spring is the most common approach. Fresh mulch applied after winter improves appearance and restores weed suppression as the previous year's layer has decomposed.
