Once you have figured out where you want to mulch. Now it’s time to edge the area you want to mulch.

I like to Use the phrase “You don’t go get a haircut, but you do not trim the neck.” Putting a Nice Clean edge around your Mulch will really Clean up the area while keeping the newly apply Mulch where you want it.

3) Pulling Weeds
Once you have edged the flower beds and you have Cleaned the edging Debris up you will been to clean out any weeds that may be there and you need to dispose of them so that when the mulch goes down you won’t have pesky weeds sneaking through making your hard work look bad.

4) Start to spread the mulch
After you have dumped you mulch in the appropriate spot to be prepared to spread it. This is a simple task however if you do not smooth it out it wont look as good. We want to get the mulch as level as possible so from a distance it looks right. Mulch will settle and you may have to level it out a few times a year. One spot you want to be level is along the house if that is not level you will notice it from a distance.
