The Foundation of a Great-Looking Landscape
Mulch does more than look good — it suppresses weeds, regulates soil temperature, retains moisture, and gradually improves soil health as it decomposes. A proper annual mulch application is one of the most cost-effective things you can do for your plants and your property's appearance. We deliver, install, and edge your beds to a professional finish that transforms how your property looks from the street.

The Importance of a Deep Cut Edge
Slapping down new mulch over an overgrown bed looks sloppy. Our process begins with physically cutting a deep, crisp trench along the perimeter of every bed using a mechanical bed edger. This "English edge" prevents turfgrass from creeping into the mulch, stops mulch from washing into the lawn during heavy rain, and gives the entire property a pristine, manicured appearance.

Highly recommended before applying new mulch. We deep-edge all beds, hand-pull established weeds, spray pre-emergent herbicide to block new weed seeds, and prune back overgrown shrubs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much mulch do I need for my beds?
A standard depth of 2 to 3 inches is ideal for most landscape beds. We measure your bed area and calculate the exact quantity needed so you're not paying for excess or falling short.
What type of mulch do you recommend in Kentucky?
For most Lexington-area landscapes, we recommend double-shredded hardwood mulch. It decomposes slowly, regulates soil temperature well through Kentucky winters, and has a clean, professional appearance that holds its color through the season.
How often should landscape beds be mulched?
We recommend refreshing mulch once per year, typically in spring. This replenishes depth lost to decomposition, suppresses the first wave of spring weeds, and gives your landscape a fresh, well-maintained look heading into the growing season.
Do you put plastic or fabric under the mulch?
We generally advise against landscape fabric under mulch because weed seeds simply blow in on top of the mulch and sprout anyway. Fabric also prevents the decomposing mulch from improving your soil biology.
Is colored mulch safe for pets and plants?
Yes. High-quality dyed mulches (like black or brown) use carbon or iron-oxide based dyes which are completely safe for pets, plants, and the environment.
