Mulching and Flower Bed Installation

Fresh mulch, crisp edges and new or renewed flower beds that hold moisture, stop weeds and make plants look their best.

Mulch does a lot of quiet work. It holds moisture in hot weather, keeps roots cooler, suppresses weeds, feeds the soil as it breaks down and gives beds a clean, finished look. But mulch has to be applied correctly. Too thin and weeds break through, too thick and it smothers roots, and piled against trunks it invites rot. In Nashville, where summers are hot and rain is heavy, good mulching is among the best-value improvements you can make to a yard.

We refresh existing beds or build new ones. We remove weeds and old debris, cut crisp edges, shape the bed lines for flowing curves and amend soil where plants will go. Then we spread mulch two to three inches deep, keeping it away from stems and trunks. You can choose shredded hardwood, dark or brown dyed mulch, pine bark or pine straw, and we deliver and spread it so you do not have to haul bags. We also plant new beds with shrubs, perennials and groundcovers as part of the job. We also recommend fresh mulch each spring and a light top-up in fall.

Prep before mulch

Weeds are removed and edges are cut so the finished bed looks crisp.

The right depth
