Professional Mulching by Lee’s General Landscaping and Yard Clean Up
Hi there! I’m Mr. Lee, and I’m here to help you boost your garden’s beauty and health with a little magic called mulching. It’s one of the easiest ways to make your outdoor space look fresh, feel healthy, and even save you some work along the way.
What Mulching Can Do for Your Garden
Mulching isn’t just about adding a pretty layer on top of your soil—it has lots of benefits for your plants too! Here’s how our mulching service can help your garden:
- Nurture Your Soil: We start by clearing away weeds and loosening the soil, making sure it’s ready for a perfect mulch spread.
- Tailored Mulch Choice: I’ll help you pick the right mulch, whether you prefer organic options like wood chips that enrich the soil as they break down, or something more long-lasting like gravel.
- Even Coverage: We apply the mulch evenly around trees, shrubs, flower beds, and anywhere else you need a fresh look.
- Right Depth Every Time: Keeping the mulch at the ideal 2-4 inches ensures your plants get all the benefits without any harm.
- Clean, Defined Edges: We trim and edge your mulched areas for a neat, professional finish.
- Weed Control & Soil Boost: Our process naturally suppresses weeds while also mixing in compost or fertilizer to keep your soil happy.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
- Why mulch my garden?
Mulching keeps moisture in, controls weeds, regulates soil temperature, and boosts your garden’s overall appearance. - How often should I mulch?
A once-a-year mulching, ideally in spring or fall, usually does the trick. We can help you keep it topped up as needed. - Which mulch is best for me?
It depends on your garden’s needs. Organic mulches enrich the soil over time, while inorganic options offer lasting weed control. I’m here to help you choose. - Can mulching harm my plants?
When done right, mulching is a big help. We take care to avoid too much mulch, ensuring your plants get all the benefits without any downsides. - Do you offer eco-friendly options?
Absolutely! We use sustainable materials and promote green gardening practices.
