Mulching & Bed Maintenance

Mulch does more than make your beds look neat. It protects your plants, keeps moisture in the soil, and stops weeds from taking over. Without mulch, your beds dry out faster, weeds grow like crazy, and your plants have to work harder to survive. Fresh mulch is one of the easiest ways to improve the health and appearance of your landscape.

In DeSoto, TX, our hot summers and unpredictable weather make mulch even more important. Mulch acts like a blanket for your soil. It keeps roots cool in the heat and insulates them during cold snaps. It also breaks down over time and adds nutrients back into the soil. When you invest in quality landscaping services, mulching should be at the top of your list.

Mulch also gives your property instant curb appeal. Fresh, dark mulch makes plants pop and creates clean, defined edges. It covers bare soil and gives your landscape a finished, professional look. Whether you have a small garden or large commercial beds, mulch ties everything together.

Bed maintenance is about more than just tossing down new mulch. We start by clearing out your beds completely. That means removing old mulch, pulling weeds, and getting rid of debris. We edge the beds so they have sharp, clean lines. Then we check the soil and add amendments if needed.

Our mulching and bed maintenance includes:

• Complete bed cleanup and weed removal
• Edging and defining bed borders
• Soil testing and amendment as needed
• Application of fresh, high-quality mulch
• Plant pruning and trimming
• Fertilization and seasonal adjustments

Once the beds are prepped, we apply fresh mulch at the right depth. Too much mulch can smother plants and trap moisture. Too little will not do the job. We spread it evenly and make sure it looks great from every angle. If your plants need pruning or shaping, we handle that too. By the time we are done, your beds will look brand new.

We also offer seasonal bed maintenance to keep things looking their best. Spring is when we refresh mulch and get beds ready for new growth. Fall is when we clean out dead plants and prepare beds for winter. Regular maintenance keeps your landscape healthy and saves you money on bigger repairs down the road. It pairs perfectly with ongoing lawn care services.

Not all mulch is created equal. We use high-quality hardwood mulch that lasts longer and looks better than cheap alternatives. Hardwood mulch breaks down slowly, so you get more time between applications. It also holds its color longer and does not blow away in the wind.

We offer different mulch colors to match your landscape style. Dark brown is classic and versatile. Black mulch gives a bold, modern look. Red mulch adds warmth and contrast. We help you choose the color that works best for your plants and your property.

For certain applications, we also recommend rubber mulch or stone. Rubber mulch is great for playgrounds and high-traffic areas. Stone works well in desert-style landscapes or around trees and shrubs. We walk you through the options and make sure you get the right material for your needs.
