Bed Preparation & Installation
Proper bed preparation is key to getting the most out of your mulch investment. We edge beds cleanly, remove weeds and old decomposed mulch when needed, and apply fresh material at the correct depth — typically 2 to 3 inches for organic mulch. We take care to keep mulch pulled back from tree trunks and plant crowns to prevent rot.
- Clean bed edging and weed removal
- Old mulch removal when necessary
- Proper depth application (2–3 inches)
- Volcano-free installation around trees
Seasonal Refresh Programs
Mulch breaks down over time, and Georgia's sun and rain can fade and thin your coverage faster than you'd expect. Our seasonal refresh programs keep your beds looking sharp year-round with scheduled top-ups in spring and fall — the two times that make the biggest visual impact.
- Spring refresh for peak curb appeal
- Fall top-up before the holiday season
- Annual bed maintenance and weed prevention
- Volume discounts for larger properties
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should mulch be replaced?
Organic mulch (hardwood, pine straw) typically needs refreshing once or twice a year. A spring application is most common, with an optional fall top-up. Stone and gravel mulch lasts much longer but may need occasional replenishing.
Is pine straw or hardwood mulch better?
Both work well in our area. Hardwood mulch retains moisture better and breaks down to improve soil. Pine straw is lighter, easier to apply on slopes, and provides a natural look. We can help you decide based on your beds and preferences.
Can you mulch around trees without damaging them?
Absolutely — and it's important to do it right. We always keep mulch several inches away from tree trunks to prevent moisture buildup and rot. No mulch volcanos on our watch.
