Fresh mulch or landscape rock with clean edging, so beds look finished, hold moisture, and keep weeds down.
The material in your beds affects how they look and how much work they take. At Peters’ Patio and Landscape, we install mulch and landscape rock for homeowners in Rochester and southern Minnesota, in new beds and as a refresh for existing ones.
Wood mulch holds moisture, keeps roots cool, and breaks down into the soil, so it is the better choice around plants. Rock lasts much longer and works well near the foundation, along drainage paths and in low-maintenance areas. Our post on mulch vs. landscape rock covers the details.
Edging is what makes a bed look finished. We cut clean bed lines and install edging that keeps mulch or rock in the bed and grass out of it. Weed fabric is used under rock where it helps, but not under mulch beds where it does more harm than good.
Mulch and rock work is often part of new planting beds or a landscape renovation.
We look at the beds, talk about the look and upkeep you want, and recommend a material and color. Then we clean out the beds, cut edges, install edging and spread the material at the right depth.
Mulch needs a top-up every couple of years. Rock needs little more than an occasional cleanout of leaves.
