How a local crew does it
- 01
Clean the beds
We pull winter debris and cut a clean edge so the mulch stays put.
- 02
Cut the edge
We cut a spade edge between bed and turf — the line that makes the beds look finished.
- 03
Spread
We lay 2–3 inches of mulch and pull it back from trunks so the bark can breathe.
- 04
Blow off
We blow the walks and drives clean so you're not left sweeping.
When to book in zone 5b
Late spring after the soil warms. A fresh edge and mulch makes the whole yard look maintained.
