Clean-Up and Mulch

Clean Up & Mulch

Clean Up

  • Clean up is the first phase of a yard make over. 
  • We will remove as much as much of the existing weeds and foliage by hand and shovel. This is to remove as much of the weeds with the root system to keep the weeds from coming right back. 
  • In addition to hand weeding we also have to option to use herbicide. Herbicide offer an additional layer of protection to prevent weeds returning. 

Fabric

  • Landscape fabric is an additional layer of protection that is added after the clean up phase is complete.
  • We make sure that when we install weed fabric that the layer underneath is as clear is if we were not putting down weed fabric. Weed fabric is a compliment to a good hand clearing and should not be a replacement for not weeding properly.

Mulch

  • The colors and types of mulch can vary depending on the setting and need. 
  • The classic dark chocolate mulch is the community favorite. It is a clean one size fits most when it comes to homes in our area.
  • Additional colors include red, black, natural colors, and gold, 
  • Additional styles include playground mulch, aromatic cedar mulch, as well as finer blends the the mulch is ground additional times.

Maximize Your Return on investment!

A pop of color can go a long way!

An Article from the Washington Post stated the return on investment could vary greatly up to 1000% return on investment. More common estimates place it around 150%-200%. Although these numbers are impressive they do vary GREATLY depending on many things such as the current condition of the home, scope of work being done, material used, and project budget.

Make the Most With what we Have.

Although returns on investment can be speculative. One thing you can be sure of is that we will work with you to identify what is most important to YOU, and develop a game plan to help us reach our goals.

Giving you back your outdoors

Mulch helps make the natural colors of your plants pop. It creates a welcoming atmosphere and a simple way to increase curb appeal.

What mulch should I use?

Your options for mulch may surprise you, aside from the common hardwood brown mulch, we are happy to offer a variety of colors such as brown, black, red, gold, and different "shreds" of mulch. Meaning the mulch is ground up more times giving it a smoother finish.

Mulching (How it's done)

Clean Up

Before any mulch is applied, the area must be clean. Like starting with a blank canvas, beginning with freshly prepped soil free of as many weeds as possible. Hand weeding is preferred as it will help eliminate the weeds roots system. 

Fabric/ Weed prep

Before the job is complete we are already thinking of ways to help you save time weeding. Although mulch can help to stop weeds it is not a weed prevention method. That is why we turn to methods like an industrial strength landscape fabric. Landscape fabric is tailor cut to your mulch bed to help ensure maximum coverage . Preen can also be applied immediately after mulch installation. 

Mulch Install

Ensuring an appropriate coating of mulch is also important for he completion of any project. We recommend a 2″ coverage in general areas, in areas working with more delicate plants and vegetables a 1″ coverage would be appropriate to prevent any damage to the plants.

What is Preen?

Preen is a product that is applied, for best results, immediately after a clean up and mulch has been performed. It works by preventing the weeds before they even happen. It will not kill existing weeds, but it will help prevent new ones from starting.
