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.
It turns an eyesore into a lovely place to be.
This is obviously in the same back yard as above, looking the other way.
The bench at the end of the path has become a pleasant seat.
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.
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.
