Fresh Mulch • Old Mulch Removal • Bed Edging

Mulch Installation & Mulch Removal

Fresh mulch keeps soil moist, holds down weeds, and makes beds look finished. UF/IFAS recommends a layer about 2–3 inches deep, kept a few inches back from trunks and stems. Piling it higher causes rot and starves roots of air. We remove tired mulch, edge the beds, and install fresh mulch at the right depth.

Mulch Types

Pine bark & pine straw

Natural look, breaks down slowly, and comes from renewable sources.

Colored hardwood

Red, brown, or black for a uniform finished look that holds its color through a season.

Eucalyptus & melaleuca

Plantation-grown alternatives. UF/IFAS suggests these over cypress mulch, which is often harvested from native wetlands.

Refresh, Don't Pile On

Remove what's spent

Years of layered mulch smother roots and hold too much water. We haul it out before adding new.

Edge first

A clean edge keeps mulch in the bed, not on the lawn or driveway.

Keep it off the trunk

No "mulch volcanoes." Mulch piled against trunks invites rot and pests.

How the Job Runs

  1. Measure. We measure the beds and help you choose the mulch.
  2. Remove & edge. Old mulch and weeds come out, and the bed edges are cut clean.
  3. Install. Fresh mulch goes down 2–3 inches deep, pulled back from trunks.
  4. Cleanup. Hard surfaces are blown clean.

Questions

How often should mulch be replaced in Florida?
Organic mulch breaks down in our heat and rain, so most beds need a top-up about once a year to keep 2–3 inches of cover. When old layers have built up, they're removed first so the bed doesn't get too deep.
Do you haul away the old mulch?
Yes. Old mulch, weeds, and debris are removed and hauled off as part of the job.
Is mulch or rock better around the house?
Right against the foundation, many homeowners pick rock because it doesn't hold moisture against the wall. Mulch is the better choice for shrub and flower beds that benefit from moisture and organic matter.
