Mulching & Bed Care

Fresh mulch, clean edges and weed-free beds through the season.
Crisp Edges

Bed edges are cut clean where they meet the lawn, so the whole property looks finished.

Common Questions
How deep should mulch be?

About two to three inches for most beds. More than that can smother roots and hold too much moisture.

When should mulch go down?

Spring is most common. A fall top-up helps protect roots through winter.

Do you remove old mulch?

Old mulch is usually topped up. Heavy buildup is removed first so beds do not rise over time.

Do you use chemicals in the beds?

Beds are weeded by hand. Any treatment is discussed with you first.
