Flower Beds Clean the beds, cut new lawn edges, apply herbicide guaranteed to keep weeds out for 12 months, and bark mulch.  What a difference doing it right makes! When working in flower beds: First I clean out everything that doesn't go there (weeds), then I lower the bed level so when an inch of bark mulch is added, it will stay in the bed and not wash onto the walkways. This is obviously in the same back yard as above, looking the other way. When working beds that adjoin lawn, I clean out everything that doesn't go there, cut a new lawn edge and lower the level of the bed. It turns an eyesore into a lovely place to be. The bench at the end of the path has become a pleasant seat. And finally, I apply a weed and grass herbicide and fine bark mulch. The difference... ...can be dramatic. This is a dying sage groundcover. Cut an edge, re-contour the bed, and apply bark mulch. Sometimes all that's wanted is... ...a new edge cut. When edging without new bark, I pull back the existing bark,... ...cut and dig the edge, and reposition the bark. “Healthy yards through knowledge and experience” STEVE MILLER Owner / Laborer Licensed, Bonded, Insured 360-258-6383 The best choice to call when you want: Hand thinned & shaped shrubs, hedges & trees Lawn maintenance including cut new edges; bark; aerate; dethatch; feed; treat pH & clay; insect, disease, & weed control Roof, concrete, deck & fence cleaning and treatment Retaining walls, fences, sheds & decks built Over-seeding and lawns installed Sprinkler systems designed, installed and maintained
