Mulch

Mulch is recommended at least once during the year to help maintain the soil's moisture level and to protect from extreme temperatures.

Please note:
Beds must be clear of leaves, weeds and seedlings before mulch can be applied. Also, if the current bed height is within 2 inches of the top of the foundation, some soil/mulch must be removed. If necessary, additional labor hours to clear leaves, weeds and seedlings, soil removal and haul-off fee will apply if crew must perform any of these services.
