Before beginning any mulch installation, we start with a thorough garden bed cleanup to ensure the area is properly prepared. This includes removing weeds, sticks, leaves, and other debris from existing mulch beds to improve overall appearance and create a clean foundation. Proper preparation allows the new mulch to be installed evenly and perform as intended. When installing fresh mulch, we may also remove and haul away old or compacted mulch that can prevent proper moisture retention, air flow, and weed suppression. By starting with a clean, well-prepared bed, we help maximize the visual impact, longevity, and benefits of your mulch installation.
