Every spring I get a lot of the same questions:

โ€ข How deep should mulch be installed?
โ€ข Should landscape fabric be used?
โ€ข How much mulch do I actually need?
โ€ข What mulch types last the longest?

So I put together a ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐œ๐ก ๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ž to help homeowners understand the basics of proper mulch installation and landscape bed maintenance.

It includes:

โœ” Mulch type comparisons
โœ” Installation tips
โœ” How to measure your beds
โœ” Common mistakes to avoid (like mulch volcanoes)

Winter Pruning in Action โ„๏ธโœ‚๏ธ

Taking advantage of ideal winter conditions today to prune these burning bushes the right way.

By selectively cutting at branch nodes, removing tangled crossed branches, and clearing out deadwood - while keeping total removal under 30% of total volume - the result is restored shape, better symmetry, and improved sunlight pe*******on for healthier, more even spring growth.

Winter is the perfect time to prune hardwood shrubs, especially in this mild weather!
