Nothing adds to the splendor of a healthy, well-manicured lawn like a mulch bed. A dark brown shredded hardwood mulch bed complements the green grass and gives your home a well-manicured look. The best thing about mulch is that it is not only pleasing to the eye but it promotes healthy plant growth. A base of 2-3 inches of shredded hardwood mulch underneath Plants or Shrubs 1 or 2 times a year adds organic matter to the soil which is vital to plant growth.
Some beds have Plants or Shrubs that need a haircut. When we mulch we also trim shrubs and prune plants to give them a healthier look. Many shrubs will need trimming more often than mulch is needed.

To keep ahead of the game we have a Round-Up Weed Reducer Plan that helps eliminate unwanted weeds at the root. Click on Round-Up Weed Reducer Plan anywhere on this web site to get more details.
The mulch we use is shredded hardwood mulch. It has a dark brown color and stays dark for most of the season. Upon request we can use a different mulch but this is what we recommend. When the job is finished you will be amazed at the difference a little mulch can make!
