After, the cleanup, it’s time for mulch! Nothing brings a property back to life like a brand new mulch install. Our mulching process is simple and extremely effective. After the trimming is done, we clean the beds of all weeds, all dead debris and leaves, then create a beautiful natural edge with a half moon edging tool. We will then install quality mulch, making the landscape pop with color and tidiness.
