Garden Bed Clean-up
Before beginning any mulch installation service, we will begin with a garden bed cleanup to remove any weeds, sticks, or other debris from your pre-existing mulch beds. This helps to improve the appearance of your beds, and prepare them for a proper mulch installation. If we are installing new mulch, this may include removing and hauling old mulch that can inhibit the benefits of mulch installation.

The Benefits of Mulch
Moisture Retention
Mulch locks in soil moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering. This keeps your plants healthy and thriving even during hot summer days.
Weed Control
A fresh layer of mulch naturally suppresses weeds by blocking sunlight, saving you time and effort while keeping your garden beds clean.
Enhanced Curb Appeal
Mulch instantly freshens up your landscape with rich color and a polished, finished look that boosts the overall appearance of your property.
