Mulch Installation & Bed Edging in Louisville, KY

How a Mulch Job Should Be Done

Most disappointing mulch jobs skip the prep. I weed the beds out, cut a fresh trench edge by hand, trim back the shrubs that are crowding the line, then install mulch two to three inches deep and pull it off stems and trunks.

• Beds weeded and cleaned before any mulch goes down
• Hand-cut trench edge for a crisp, curved line
• Two to three inches of depth for weed suppression and moisture hold
• Mulch pulled back off trunks, crowns and siding
• Full cleanup and blow off of walks, drive and patio

Bed Edging Is What People Actually Notice

You can see a sharp edge from the road. That defined line between turf and mulch is what separates a yard that looks cared for from one that just got a delivery dumped in the beds. I cut it by hand so it follows the shape of your beds instead of a machine's idea of a straight line.

Mulch Holds Up Better in Kentucky Beds

Louisville summers swing from soaked to baked. A correct mulch layer keeps soil temperature steadier, holds water through dry August weeks, and cuts down how much weeding you deal with all season. It is protection for the plants, not just color.
