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 Orlando Homeowners

How often should Orlando homeowners get mulching & edging?
Given Orlando's year-round heat averaging 82°f with oppressive summer humidity, most homeowners benefit from mulching & edging at least once a year. Year-round algae and mold on roofs, driveways, and pool decks often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Orlando most need mulching & edging?
Concrete block and stucco homes (CBS construction dominant) and Tile roof communities throughout Orange and Seminole counties are the most common home types in Orlando 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.
