Mulch Installation and Refresh (Mulch Refresh)
Clean Beds. Rich Color. Healthier Plants. Instant Curb Appeal.
🍂 What Is Mulch Installation and Refresh?
Mulch Installation and Refresh is the process of laying fresh mulch into your landscape beds or topping off existing mulch that has faded, broken down, or thinned out.
Mulch is more than just looks — it’s one of the most important things you can do for plant health and curb appeal. A proper mulch job:
Makes landscape beds look clean and uniform
Helps trap moisture in the soil
Regulates soil temperature
Suppresses weed growth
Protects plant roots from heat and cold
Prevents soil erosion
Adds depth and color to your yard
If your beds look dull, patchy, dusty, or uneven — this is the fix.
💡 Why Mulch Matters in Cincinnati
Cincinnati’s climate swings hard — hot summers, wet springs, and freeze-thaw cycles in winter.Mulch protects your beds year-round by:
Preventing weed germination during spring rain
Holding moisture during hot summer days
Protecting roots from winter cold snaps
Keeping soil from compacting in clay-heavy Cincinnati yards
Boosting curb appeal in neighborhoods where homes are close together
Fresh mulch instantly makes your yard look 10x more maintained — facts.
