Bed prep & clean edging
We weed, clear debris, and cut crisp edges along lawns, walkways, and borders before any mulch goes down-so the finished beds stay defined and the new layer holds its shape all season.

Frequently Asked Questions
For most garden beds and tree rings, we apply mulch at a depth of 2 to 3 inches. That range is deep enough to retain moisture and suppress weeds while still letting water and air reach the soil. We always keep mulch pulled back a few inches from trunks and stems to prevent rot and pests.
Most St. Louis County and St. Charles County properties benefit from a fresh layer of mulch once a year, typically in spring. Mulch breaks down over the season and its color fades, so an annual top-off restores both the protective depth and the clean, finished look. Some clients also schedule a light fall refresh.
We install a range of options including natural hardwood, double- and triple-shredded hardwood, and dyed mulches in brown, black, and red to match your home and landscape. During your free estimate we will recommend the best material and color for your beds, trees, and curb appeal goals.
Yes. Proper prep is what makes a mulch job last. Before we spread anything we weed the beds, define crisp edges along lawns and walkways, and clean up debris. Sharp edging keeps mulch contained and gives the whole landscape a manicured, professional finish.
Pricing depends on the square footage of your beds, the type and color of mulch you choose, and the amount of bed prep and edging needed. We offer free estimates- contact us or call (636) 293-9306 and we will measure your beds for an accurate quote.
