Prepare the garden bed first
Removing loose debris and unwanted growth before installing fresh mulch helps create a cleaner finished appearance. Existing plants and landscape features should also be considered before work begins.
Defined edges improve the final result
A clear edge between lawn and garden areas can make even a simple landscape refresh look more organized. Bed shape and existing property lines should guide the finished edge.
Use mulch as part of the overall landscape
Mulch colour and texture should complement the property rather than compete with it. Coordinating mulch with planting, stone, pavers and exterior finishes can produce a more consistent look.
