Pull all weeds from garden beds prior to installing mulch.
Apply roundup to any small weeds that remain.
Preen can be applied prior to mulch installation to assist mulch in preventing weed germination.
Redefine edges of garden beds by digging down 2-3" so mulch remains in beds after installation.
Apply mulch 2-4 inches deep. (Please note: Applying mulch in excess of 4" can be detrimental to your plantings as air and water will have difficulty reaching them.)
Do not apply mulch directly to the base of any trees, shrubs, etc. as this will promote rotting of your plant material.
Once it is installed, smooth the mulch with a plastic leaf rake in order to create a beautiful evenly mulched garden bed.
Clean mulch from grassy areas, plant material, and hardscapes.
Periodically maintain your beds by pulling any weeds that grow from underneath the mulch.
Enjoy the beauty of your yard for the remainder of the summer.
