How often should mulch be replaced?

Most organic mulches need refreshing once a year, typically in spring. You don't always need to remove old mulch completely. We can often add a new layer on top if the existing mulch hasn't become too deep.

Is there such a thing as too much mulch?

Yes. Too much mulch can smother plant roots and create problems with moisture and pests. The ideal depth is 2-3 inches for most areas. We apply mulch at the proper depth and keep it away from plant stems and tree trunks.

Do I need to remove weeds before mulching?

Absolutely. Mulch helps prevent new weeds from sprouting, but it won't eliminate existing weeds. We thoroughly weed beds before applying fresh mulch.

Mulching & Bed Maintenance | Garden Bed Care | Florin, CA

Keep your garden beds looking fresh and your plants healthy with professional mulching and maintenance.

More Than Just Good Looks

Mulch does more than make your beds look tidy. It's one of the best things you can do for your plants. A proper layer of mulch conserves moisture, regulates soil temperature, prevents weeds, and slowly adds nutrients as it breaks down. In Florin's hot summers, mulch can mean the difference between plants that thrive and plants that merely survive.

But mulch only works when it's maintained properly. Too much mulch smothers roots. Too little doesn't provide the benefits. And different areas of your yard may need different types of mulch. That's where professional bed maintenance makes a real difference.

Choosing the Right Mulch

Different mulches serve different purposes. Organic mulches like shredded bark or wood chips break down over time, enriching your soil. They're perfect for most garden beds and around trees and shrubs. Rock or gravel mulch lasts longer and works well in areas where you want a more permanent, low-maintenance solution. We'll help you choose the right mulch for each area of your landscape, considering factors like plant types, sun exposure, and your maintenance preferences.

Bed Maintenance Throughout the Year

Garden beds need attention in every season. Spring is time for cleanup, mulch refresh, and preparing beds for new growth. Summer means watching for weeds and monitoring moisture. Fall is perfect for bed renovation and adding protective mulch before winter. Even winter has tasks like removing debris and planning improvements.

We offer one-time mulching services or seasonal maintenance packages that keep your beds in top shape year-round. Many clients combine bed maintenance with regular lawn care or add it to their tree and shrub care schedule for complete landscape maintenance.

Professional Bed Edging

Clean, defined edges make a huge difference in how your landscape looks. We create and maintain crisp borders between your beds and lawn, preventing grass from invading and giving your property that professionally maintained appearance.

Bed edging also serves practical purposes. It contains mulch where you want it, creates a mowing strip for easier lawn maintenance, and helps direct water flow. We can install permanent edging materials or maintain natural cut edges, depending on your preference.
