Mulching & Bed Maintenance
Keep your flower beds healthy and beautiful with professional mulching and maintenance that protects plants and enhances curb appeal.
Why Mulch Matters
Mulch is one of the best things you can do for your landscape. It looks great, sure, but it also works hard behind the scenes to protect your plants and soil. A fresh layer of mulch regulates soil temperature, keeping roots cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This temperature control helps plants handle stress and grow stronger throughout the year.
Mulch also locks in moisture, which means you water less often and your plants stay healthier. In Burleson, TX, where summers get hot and dry, this moisture retention saves water and keeps beds looking lush even during heat waves. Plus, mulch blocks sunlight from reaching the soil, which prevents weeds from sprouting. Fewer weeds mean less work for you and more nutrients going to the plants you actually want.
As organic mulch breaks down, it adds nutrients back into the soil. This natural fertilization improves soil quality over time, creating better growing conditions for everything in your beds. Regular mulching protects your investment in plants and makes your landscape look polished and well-maintained. It is simple maintenance that delivers big results.

We help you choose the best option for your beds and budget, ensuring results that look great and perform even better.
Timing and Best Practices
The best time to mulch is in spring after the soil warms up. This timing gives your beds fresh protection heading into the growing season. We typically schedule spring mulching in March or April for Burleson properties. Some homeowners also add a second application in fall to refresh beds and provide extra winter insulation for plants. Fall mulching works especially well if you are combining it with seasonal cleanup services.
Proper mulch application matters as much as timing. We apply mulch 2 to 3 inches deep, which provides good coverage without smothering plants. Too little mulch will not control weeds or hold moisture. Too much can trap excess water against plant stems, causing rot and disease. We also keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks and plant stems to allow proper air circulation and prevent pest problems.
Regular bed maintenance between mulch applications keeps your landscape looking sharp. Weekly or bi-weekly visits to pull weeds, trim plants, and remove debris prevent small issues from becoming big problems. When beds stay clean and well-maintained, your landscape design shines through. You get more enjoyment from your outdoor space and better long-term value from your landscaping investment.
