Mulching & Bed Maintenance
Keep your garden beds looking neat and your plants healthy with professional mulching and maintenance.
Why Mulching Matters
Mulch does more than make your garden beds look tidy. It protects plant roots, retains moisture, regulates soil temperature, and suppresses weeds. In Compton, CA, where summers get hot and water is precious, mulch helps your plants survive with less stress.
Over time, mulch breaks down and loses its effectiveness. That's why regular mulching is an important part of landscape maintenance. We refresh your mulch as needed to keep your beds looking fresh and your plants healthy. It's a simple service that makes a big difference.
Types of Mulch We Use
Not all mulch is the same. We help you choose the right type based on your plants, budget, and aesthetic preferences:
- Organic mulch: Shredded bark, wood chips, and compost break down over time and enrich the soil
- Decorative rock: Gravel and river rock provide a clean, modern look and don't need replacing
- Rubber mulch: Long-lasting and low-maintenance, ideal for high-traffic areas
- Ground cover plants: Living mulch options like succulents or creeping thyme reduce maintenance
We usually recommend organic mulch for garden beds because it improves soil health as it decomposes. If you're starting a new landscape, check out our landscape design services to create a cohesive look.
Comprehensive Bed Maintenance
Mulching is just one part of keeping your garden beds in top shape. Our bed maintenance services include weeding, edging, plant care, and seasonal refreshes. We remove old mulch when necessary, add new mulch at the proper depth, and ensure your beds look neat and professional.
Regular maintenance prevents small problems from becoming big ones. Weeds compete with your plants for water and nutrients. Edges that aren't maintained allow grass to invade your beds. We handle all of this so you can enjoy your landscape without the work. Many of our Compton clients combine bed maintenance with our lawn care services for complete property care.
Seasonal Refresh for Your Beds
We recommend refreshing your mulch at least once a year, typically in spring before the heat arrives. This gives your beds a clean, polished look and protects plants during the growing season. If your mulch has faded, compacted, or washed away, it's time for a refresh.
During the refresh, we also inspect your plants for pests, disease, or nutrient deficiencies. Healthy soil and proper mulching create the best conditions for plant growth.
