Our Mulching & Edging Process
1
Bed Preparation
Beds are weeded and existing mulch is raked out or turned before fresh material is applied.
2
Edging
Crisp edges are cut between lawn and beds using a bed edger or spade for clean, defined borders.
3
Mulch Installation
Mulch is applied at a 2–3 inch depth — deep enough to suppress weeds without suffocating plant roots or creating trunk rot.
4
Final Cleanup
Excess mulch is blown or swept from walkways and borders, leaving a clean, professional finish.

Our local pros understand the unique conditions of your city — climate, home types, and seasonal challenges.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
