Why mulch

A layer of mulch two to three inches deep keeps soil cooler in summer, holds moisture between rains and gives beds a finished look. We keep it pulled back from stems and from the house siding.

Weeds pulled by hand

Weeds come out by hand, roots included where the soil allows. Beds that are weeded through the summer stay much easier to keep.

A crisp bed edge

We recut the line between lawn and bed with a flat spade, which keeps grass from creeping in and holds the mulch in place.

Questions about mulch and bed weeding

What mulch do you use?

Shredded hardwood mulch in a natural brown or a darker color. Tell us your preference in the request.

How often should mulch be refreshed?

Most beds need a top up once a year, usually in spring. We check the depth first so it does not pile up.

Can weeding be a regular visit?

Yes. Many customers add bed weeding to every other mowing visit through the summer.
