What’s included

  • New bed lines cut into the lawn
  • Existing beds widened or re-curved
  • Soil prepared and planted
  • Edged and mulched to finish

For a new bed, the outline is cut into the lawn, the turf is taken out, and the soil is prepared before anything goes in the ground. For an existing bed, we widen it or re-curve it so it fits the house and the yard. Either way the bed is planted, edged, and finished with mulch.

Bed work goes hand in hand with landscaping design when you want a plan for the whole front yard, and with annual planting for seasonal color. To keep a finished bed looking sharp, fresh mulch each spring does most of the work.

On the job

The jobs shown include a new front bed built with boulders, shrubs, perennials, and landscape lights beside the sidewalk; a groundcover-choked front bed cleared and edged with stacked stone; and a thin bed along a white picket fence replanted and mulched.
