Mulching & Bed Maintenance

Why Mulching Is Essential for Healthy Garden Beds

Mulch is more than just a decorative touch. It protects your plants, improves soil health, and reduces maintenance. A fresh layer of mulch keeps weeds down, retains moisture, regulates soil temperature, and gives your landscape a clean, finished look.

Without proper mulching, your garden beds dry out faster, weeds take over, and your plants struggle to thrive. In Arcadia's hot climate, mulch is especially important because it helps your soil stay cool and moist even during the hottest months. It also breaks down over time, adding organic matter to your soil and improving its structure.

Choosing the Right Mulch for Your Landscape

Not all mulch is the same. We help you select the best option based on your plants, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance goals. Organic mulches like shredded bark and wood chips break down over time, enriching your soil but needing replacement every year or two. Rock mulch lasts longer and works well in hot, dry areas, but it does not improve soil quality.

We also consider color and texture to match your home's style and complement your existing landscape. Whether you prefer natural earth tones or something more decorative, we have options that fit your vision and budget.

Ongoing Maintenance to Keep Beds Looking Great

Fresh mulch is a great start, but garden beds need regular care to stay healthy and attractive. Weeds sprout, edges get messy, and plants need occasional trimming or replacement. Our maintenance services take care of all of this for you, so your landscape always looks its best.

We offer one-time services and ongoing maintenance plans based on your needs. Many of our clients in Arcadia choose seasonal cleanups in spring and fall, with monthly or quarterly visits in between to keep weeds under control and refresh mulch as needed.

Our mulching and bed maintenance services work perfectly alongside our tree and shrub care programs. We also coordinate with our full landscaping services to provide complete care for your entire property.
