Seattle Remove compacted mulch
In Seattle, compacted mulch can be a common issue that affects the beauty and health of your garden. Over time, mulch can become dense and hard, making it difficult for water and nutrients to penetrate the soil. This can lead to unhealthy plants, poor drainage, and an unkempt appearance. The good news? Removing compacted mulch is a straightforward process that can enhance your landscape’s curb appeal, improve safety, and promote eco-friendliness—all while requiring minimal maintenance.
