Seattle Mulch refresh / top-up
If your garden is starting to look tired and overgrown, it might be time for a mulch refresh or top-up. In Seattle’s climate, where moisture levels fluctuate and plant growth can be vigorous, maintaining a healthy layer of mulch is essential. A simple refresh can enhance your curb appeal, improve safety by reducing slip hazards, and promote eco-friendliness by conserving moisture and suppressing weeds. Here’s a straightforward guide to get your garden looking its best again.
Description & Benefits
What the Service Includes
A mulch refresh involves several essential tasks that enhance the health and appearance of your garden beds. Our service typically includes:
- Removal of old mulch: Clearing away any decomposed or compacted mulch to make room for fresh material.
- Weed control: Hand-pulling or using eco-friendly herbicides to eliminate any pesky weeds that may have grown through the mulch.
- Soil aeration: Gently turning the soil to promote healthy root growth and improve drainage.
- Adding new mulch: Spreading a fresh layer of high-quality mulch to enhance aesthetics and provide benefits to the plants.
Key Benefits
- Appearance: A fresh layer of mulch instantly revitalizes your garden, giving it a tidy and polished look.
- Durability: Quality mulch lasts longer and protects your plants from temperature fluctuations.
- Safety: By reducing weed growth and providing a stable surface, mulch can help prevent slips and falls in your outdoor areas.
- Eco-friendly: Mulch conserves moisture, which means less watering is required, and it breaks down over time, enriching the soil.
