Mulching & Bed Maintenance in Rochester, NH
Fresh mulch makes beds look finished, keeps soil moist through dry summer stretches and holds back weeds. In Rochester most homeowners refresh mulch once a year, usually in late spring after cleanup.
What's usually included
- Bed edging to create a clean line between lawn and bed
- Weeding and removing old debris before new mulch goes down
- Applying about 2 to 3 inches of mulch, kept away from tree trunks and siding
- Common choices: dark bark mulch, natural hemlock, or dyed black and brown mulch
Local tips
Avoid 'mulch volcanoes' piled against tree trunks; they trap moisture and invite rot and pests. If you have a lot of beds, ask whether bulk delivery plus installation is cheaper than bagged mulch.
