What mulching and edging includes

What mulch does for a bed
A layer of mulch holds moisture in the soil through dry stretches in July and August, keeps weeds from getting light, and evens out soil temperature for the roots.
Too much does harm, though. UNH Extension recommends 2 to 3 inches, kept at least 3 inches off trunks, with no "volcano" piled against the bark.
When to mulch in New Hampshire
Late spring, once the soil has warmed up, usually May into June. Mulching right after the spring cleanup gives the beds a clean start for the season.
A light top-up in fall is fine; most beds only need a full refresh once a year.

Mulch & bed edging: good to know
How much mulch do I need?
One cubic yard covers about 160 square feet at 2 inches deep, or about 110 square feet at 3 inches. We measure the beds at the estimate.
How deep should mulch be?
About 2 to 3 inches. Much more than that can cause problems for the plants and gives voles a place to hide.
Why isn't this priced by yard size?
Two houses with the same lawn can have very different beds. We price mulching on site, by the beds.
Do you spray for weeds?
No. We pull weeds by hand. Spraying needs a pesticide applicator license in New Hampshire, and we don't offer it.
Can you do it with my spring cleanup?
Yes. Mulch and edging fit right after a spring cleanup.
