Mulching & Bed Maintenance

Small Details, Big Difference

Fresh mulch makes your landscape look instantly better. It creates clean lines around your beds, makes colors pop, and gives your whole property a well-cared-for appearance. But mulch isn't just about looks. It actually helps your plants grow better by holding moisture in the soil, regulating temperature, and preventing weeds from taking over.

At RidgePro DeSoto Landscaping, we provide complete mulching and bed maintenance services for properties throughout DeSoto and surrounding communities. We keep your landscape beds looking great and functioning properly so your plants can thrive and your property always makes a good impression.

What Good Bed Maintenance Includes

Mulching is just one part of keeping your landscape beds healthy and attractive. Your beds need regular attention to stay weed-free, properly edged, and looking their best. Here's what we do when we maintain your landscape beds:

• •Weed removal to keep beds clean and prevent competition for water and nutrients
• •Edge trimming to create sharp, clean lines between beds and lawn
• •Fresh mulch application at the right depth for optimal plant health
• •Removal of dead plant material and debris
• •Inspection of plants for signs of problems or pest issues
• •Adjustment of mulch levels to prevent volcano mulching around trees

We use quality mulch products that look good and break down slowly, so you get lasting results. Whether you prefer natural hardwood mulch, cedar mulch for its aroma and insect-repelling qualities, or alternative ground covers like river rock, we can provide what works best for your landscape.

Why Mulch Matters in Texas

Texas summers are brutal on plants. When temperatures climb into the high 90s and stay there for weeks, plants can really struggle. Mulch acts like a blanket over the soil, keeping it cooler and preventing moisture from evaporating as quickly. This means your plants stay healthier and you use less water. In winter, that same mulch layer insulates roots from occasional freezes.

Mulch also breaks down slowly over time, adding organic matter to your soil and improving its structure. Better soil means healthier plants. When you combine proper mulching with efficient irrigation and regular plant care, you create conditions where your landscape can truly flourish.

Seasonal Bed Refreshes

Most landscapes benefit from fresh mulch once or twice a year. Spring is the most popular time because it gives your beds a fresh look for the growing season ahead. But fall mulching is also beneficial, especially in areas where you've removed spent annuals and want to protect perennials through winter. We can set up a maintenance schedule that keeps your beds looking great year-round without you having to think about it. Regular maintenance is always easier and more affordable than letting things go and then trying to fix major problems later.
