01 What’s included

What a bed rehab includes

It’s the prep that makes mulch last. Fresh mulch dumped over live weeds and a grown-in edge doesn’t look good for long.

Weeds

Pulled to the root

Weeds and volunteer seedlings come out root and all, not sheared off at the top where they grow right back.

Edge

A clean spade edge

A hand-cut edge between the bed and the lawn keeps grass from creeping in and gives the mulch a line to sit behind.

Shrubs

Shrubs shaped

Overgrown shrubs trimmed back, dead ones pulled, and anything worth keeping kept.

Mulch

Mulch at the right depth

Deep enough to hold weeds down, not so deep it smothers roots, and pulled back off trunks and stems instead of piled up against them.

Plants

Plant & shrub installs

When a bed needs filling back in, new plants and shrubs go in as part of the same job.

Haul-off

Everything hauled off

Weeds, trimmings, and old material leave on the trailer the same day.

02 Process

How a bed rehab goes

01

Send a few photos

Photos of the beds are usually enough for a ballpark. Call, text, or use the quote form.

02

Walkthrough and a written quote

We agree on what stays, what goes, and the price, in writing, before anything gets pulled.

03

Weeds out, edge cut, mulch down

Pulling and trimming first, then the edge, then mulch. Most beds are done in a day.

04

Cleanup and walkthrough

Walks and drive blown off, everything hauled, and you look it over before you pay.

03 Pricing

What this usually costs

Every property is different, but most people want a ballpark before they call. Here’s where these jobs typically land.

These are typical ranges, not a quote. The only number that counts is the written one you get after the walkthrough — and that one doesn’t change unless you change the scope.

05 Questions

Mulch and bed questions

How much does a mulch job cost?

Bed cleanup, edging, and mulch starts at $375. Where a job lands depends on how much bed there is, how overgrown it is, and how much mulch it takes. You get the number in writing after the walkthrough, before any work starts.

My beds are completely overgrown. Is that too far gone?

Almost never. Most of the yards we photograph looked unrecoverable to the homeowner and came back in a day. We pull to the root instead of shearing the tops off, keep whatever is worth keeping, re-cut the bed line, and mulch. The plants that stay usually look better than they have in years once they aren’t competing.

How often should beds be re-mulched?

Most beds look best with a fresh layer about once a year. If the bed is still clean and the edge is holding, a top-up is a smaller job than a full rehab.

Can you add new plants while you’re at it?

Yes. Plant and shrub installs are part of bed rehab when a bed needs filling back in. We’ll talk through what goes where at the walkthrough.

Do you haul away what you pull?

Yes, the same day. Weeds, trimmings, dead shrubs, and old material all leave on the trailer.
