After having to do this method *multiple* times in the last 10 yrs because of tons of weeds, while my neighbors haven't needed to once... I'm putting down the heaviest weed block I can find BEFORE my mulch this time. Lesson learned.

[@LawnCrack]

You really just need to gain control of the weeds first by staying on top of them by pulling or spraying them. It just takes time. Fabric is never a good idea under mulch for multiple reasons...

Thanks for the comment Rodrigo. Loving what you do makes all the difference!

[@scottsmith1763]

Great video explaining the best techniques of mulching. The only thing I would like to add is that before mulching it is best to clean up the edges first to give them a smoother flow for easier mowing and a more natural appearance. The sharp curves at the corners near the sidewalks do not make for easy maneuvering of a mower along the edge. Also the curve around the large area where the small tree is located would look better if it was more rounded. Rounding and widening the arcs of curves gives a much gentler flow for easy mowing and provides for a much more aesthtically pleasing appearance.

[@LawnCrack]

Hey Scott. I like where your head is at! Love hearing people really putting some thought into how they go about performing the lawn and landscape tasks. All the best - Ryan

[@tonywilliams2979]

I’m a teenager starting up a job with mulch and This video helped a lot !

[@GameNerdMom]

the white fungus isn't bad it means the mulch is breaking down, too much mulch just makes the soil too waterlogged and the plant roots suffer and die because they cant get air. other that that great video and very nice job it looks amazing, ill be using some of these!

[@dannac_8888]

Wow! I'm so IMPRESSED by your ATTENTION TO DETAILS, EFFORT TO CREATE EXCELLENCE. This is what it takes in any task to succeed. I hope you get millions of views. Now how am I going to get my people to do it properly? I'll have to do all 8 big beds by myself.

[@LawnCrack]

Read reviews! I recommend checking reviews then contacting a handful of companies, 2-3, to get quotes. Usually all but one will eliminate themselves by failing to communicate with you...we get a lot of work because other companies don't answer or respond in any way. It's insane. Go with your gut!

How much can I charge to someone for that job

[@LawnCrack]

@@JoseMedina-qm2us We charge $150 per year delivered and installed as shown for 1-5 yards or so. Then is goes down slightly per yard for larger jobs. That job was a long time ago and I don't have access to my records as I sold the company. Best guess is that it was $350 +/- but pricing varies across the country.

Treat yourself to a wheelbarrow with two front wheels. You won’t believe what a difference it makes. It balances itself and you just guide it instead of you having to balance and push. That slope would be nothing with two wheels instead of fighting balance and gravity. And you’ll be just that little bit less tired. 🙂 Thanks for sharing so many good tips.

[@LawnCrack]

Hey Pamela. I had those 2-wheel wheelbarrows over the years and was not a fan! I do think a lot of homeowners would prefer them though! Good call.

[@LawnCrack]

[@georgegreek834]

I always appreciate a great mulch job. You definitely do a great job going into detail on how to do what you do. Mulching makes beds look so clean! I love it! I totally understand that for aesthetic purposes why you don’t lay it too deep, but a good 2-3 inch layer is ideal in the garden. There are many useful features in laying wood mulch; weed suppression, retaining moisture, and aesthetic as you mentioned. There is also the fact that as the mulch breaks down it adds that organic matter for earthworms and other beneficial organisms in the soil. The white fungus that ends up growing on the under layers is also very beneficial to the soil and plants that are in the beds. Though, for commercial purposes I understand how it wouldn’t be aesthetic. Great job though! I definitely learned how to cut in the grass around the border like that. I’ve always used bricks or pavers as the borders. Which can be a nightmare when you end up having to cut the grass 😂.

We also installed décor rocks of several varieties, are last job was 4 railroad cars, 100 ton per car. That took 3 weeks with 7 workers.

Hey Eric. Thanks for sharing. I didn't spend too much time playing around with those methods. I thought they were less efficient and used more mulch than needed, but I do still see companies doing it that way all the time. Another thing they are doing around here is using garbage cans instead of wheel barrows...that way doesn't really make any sense at all to me. But, there is definitely more than one right way to do lawn care and landscaping!

[@knightbook1003]

Well hell, this whole time i’ve been using a pitchfork. I want my yard all flowers, & only do landscaping for myself, & not for others anymore. There r a ton of tree roots to get out, which is why i use a pitchfork. But your way admittedly looks way better. Thk u for the great ideas. Beautiful!!

[@LawnCrack]

Thanks so much Robert. My pleasure. I am assuming this is after the bed has been mulched and you are mowing the lawn. I don't know if there is a way to keep it all out! My best advice would be to make sure the end of your trimmer string is not hitting the soil surface...get it at the perfect height so only the overhanging blades could possibly end up in the bed. Then, when complete with your mowing and trimming, run around the bed edges with with your blower on idle to spread those clipping out without disturbing the mulch too much if at all. In my experience, if not too much gets in the beds and you blow it around a little, it will be looking 100% again within a day or two max.

@3:07 man, perfect chance to say, "Ace of Spades" and you missed it, haha. We finally bought a house so now I'm delving into landscape tips. First thing I knew of was proper grading away from the house to prevent water going into the basement. So I have to fill in up next to the house to prevent this. I never knew that you edged to keep the grass from spreading into the flower bed. I think we'll ditch the stone edge and just stick to a clean edge. Thanks for the tips.

LOL...nice! That is a great idea to grade away from your house...just make sure you don't go too high up, especially on brick. Usually, that first row of brick has vents in between every couple brick (instead of mortar like usual) that you don't want to cover up!

[@yosoyinc9480]

Very informative video!! Just got my first house. Excited to lay mulch this spring. Couldn’t figure out if I should spray the dirt or use the landscape fabric? (Beginner)

[@LawnCrack]

I strongly recommend to NOT use any type of fabric under mulch. The mulch is going to break down over time and weeds will grow from on top of it...this starts end of year 1! If you are using a decorative rock as your 'mulch' then I do recommend it so your rocks and soil beneath don't mesh over time. If you are OK with using a non-selective herbicide (aka round-up...I never used round-up personally as it is severely over priced...) then I would recommend to spray it once or twice a week or two or both before you plan on installing the mulch. Then, if and when weeds still pop through, just stay on top of it at the beginning. If you don't let them get out of control, you will be golden for years to come. Best of luck! Have fun!

It looks nice for the time being. The problem later is that the new owners aren't going to be too happy without edging there and the grass starts growing in to the plant bed.

Not with this type of grass...it does not spread like southern grasses do. We have fescue around here.

Just some good ole boys doing some some landscaping videos 😎😂👍🏻

Fresh mulch does wonders. I learned a couple of things by watching your vid. TFS! BTW, that driveway looks problematic. I hope the repair crew for that was up after you.

[@LawnCrack]

I agree! Awesome! I hope so too...I never got into messing around with concrete. I just stick with what I know!

Thanks for the detailed video and including the written steps! This video is exactly what I needed!

Good video, but whenever you put the music on, the volume is raised really high. you have a normal speaking voice but the music is really loud. I constantly have to adjust my volume between transitions.

Got ya. Sorry. It was one of my first videos and I did not know how to do it right!

[@39872adnan]

I think I can do this without screwing it up. Thanks, this is very helpful.
