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 Sioux Falls Homeowners

How often should Sioux Falls homeowners get mulching & edging?
Given Sioux Falls's extreme continental climate with blizzard risk november through april, most homeowners benefit from mulching & edging at least once a year. Blizzard snow removal and roof load management (November–April) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Sioux Falls most need mulching & edging?
Ranch and two-story homes throughout Minnehaha County and New construction in northwest and southeast Sioux Falls growth corridors are the most common home types in Sioux Falls 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.
