Overview
Mulching on the North Shore is typically done in late April to mid-May, after spring cleanup and before summer heat. Casey and Sons re-edges every bed, lays 2–3 inches of quality hardwood or cedar mulch (never dyed rubber or playground chip), and keeps mulch pulled back from plant stems and tree trunks to prevent rot. Done right, a single application lasts the full season and suppresses most weed germination.

Questions
Frequently asked
When should mulch be installed?
Late April to mid-May is the window. Too early and the soil hasn't warmed; too late and summer weeds have already germinated under the old mulch.
What kind of mulch do you use?
Premium double-ground hardwood mulch (natural dark brown) is the default. Cedar is available on request — it lasts longer and smells better, but costs more. We don't install dyed red, dyed black, or rubber mulch; they do more harm than good.
How deep should mulch be?
2–3 inches on top of existing mulch, or 3 inches fresh on bare soil. Anything thicker suffocates roots and causes more problems than it solves.
