Seattle Summer mulch refreshing

As summer rolls into Seattle, homeowners often face the challenge of maintaining a vibrant and healthy landscape. One of the most effective solutions is refreshing your mulch. Over time, mulch can break down, lose its color, and become less effective at suppressing weeds and retaining moisture. A simple refresh can restore the beauty of your garden beds while providing numerous benefits such as enhanced curb appeal, improved safety, eco-friendliness, and reduced maintenance needs.

Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

Refreshing mulch involves several key tasks that ensure your garden looks its best. Our service typically includes:

  • Removal of Old Mulch: We carefully remove the old, decomposed mulch to make way for new material.
  • Weeding: We’ll clear out any pesky weeds that may have sprouted, ensuring a clean and tidy look.
  • Edging: We’ll define the borders of your garden beds to create a crisp appearance.
  • Mulch Application: Fresh mulch is then applied evenly across the garden beds, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

Key Benefits

  1. Enhanced Appearance: Fresh mulch instantly brightens up your landscape, adding a polished look to your property.
  2. Durability: Quality mulch materials can last longer, providing ongoing benefits such as weed suppression and moisture retention.
  3. Safety: Properly maintained mulch helps prevent soil erosion and reduces the risk of slips and falls in your yard.
  4. Eco-Friendly: Using organic mulch materials contributes to a healthier ecosystem by enriching the soil as they decompose.
