Fritz Lawn & Landscaping Mulch Installation & Mulch Maintenance

Mulch Installation

The Fritz Lawn & Landscaping Mulch Installation Service is usually done in the Spring, but can be done anytime during the season. For mulch you can get a number of different types and colors including single, double, triple shredded mulch. The finer the mulch the more expensive it will be. We will start the mulch installation process by edging all landscape beds prior to mulching. An edging shovel or a bed edger will be used to make the edge depending on the size of the job. Vertically we will go down 5 inches on the edge so there is a lip to hold the mulch and to make sure the mulch will not end up in the grass. It also makes the yard look cleaner. Prior to the mulch installation we will apply pre-emergent to the bed areas to prevent weeds. Some areas might call for a weed barrier fabric or a spray if weeds continue to return. Mulch will be installed under all branches of trees and bushes. If there are any stepping stones or decorative rocks in the beds, they will be removed, mulched and then put back in the same place to insure proper installation. Mulch will be cleaned up with a broom or a gas blower from all hard surfaces (i.e., stepping stones, driveways, sidewalks, etc.).

Note: Prior to mulching, if bushes or any hedges need to be trimmed, we will trim them and remove all debris from premises so the beds stay free of leaves. Additional costs might apply for hedge trimming or tree pruning.

Mulch Maintenance

The Fritz Lawn & Landscaping Mulch Maintenance Service is usually done in the fall, but can be done during the season also. We will start out by removing all weeds from the landscape beds, then taking a small rototiller to till up the existing mulch to make the mulch look like it was just installed. We would rake and smooth out the mulch to be level, incase there were any high or low spots. Finally we will remove all debris from premises.
