Give Your Beds the Protection They Need Why Professional Mulching Makes a Difference

Fresh mulch does more than look good. It suppresses weeds, locks in moisture, regulates soil temperature, and protects your plants through Ottawa's intense freeze-thaw cycles.

CleanYards installs premium mulch at the proper depth using materials sourced from trusted local suppliers. We prepare every bed before application, ensuring your gardens get the maximum benefit from every cubic yard of mulch we install.

🌿

Superior Weed Control

A proper layer of mulch blocks sunlight, significantly reducing weed germination and growth in your garden beds.

💧

Moisture Retention

Mulch acts like a sponge, helping the soil retain moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering, especially during dry Ottawa summers.

🌡️

Soil Temperature Regulation

Insulates soil from extreme heat and cold, protecting plant roots and promoting healthier growth throughout the year.

Instant Curb Appeal

Nothing transforms the look of your garden beds faster than a fresh layer of premium mulch. Clean, uniform coverage makes the entire yard look polished.

Bed Preparation & Weeding

We start by thoroughly cleaning the garden beds, removing existing weeds, debris, and old, decomposed mulch to create a clean base for the new application.

02

Define & Cut Edges

Our team cuts precise, clean edges along all bed borders to create sharp definition and a neat trench that contains the mulch within the bed.

03

Apply Premium Mulch

We evenly apply your chosen premium mulch to the prepared beds at the optimal depth (typically 2-3 inches), ensuring proper coverage around plants while avoiding piling against stems.

04

Final Cleanup & Inspection

Before leaving, we blow off any excess mulch from walkways, patios, and lawn areas, perform a final quality check, and ensure your property looks immaculate and professionally finished.

This has been my first year with CleanYards and Sebastian. I have been more than pleased with the work he has done for me. The yard maintenance and the fall clean up have been done very well, much better than I could do myself. I look forward to next Spring when I can have Sebastian do more jobs for me.

Recently had new sod installed. Sebastien and Andre were friendly and helpful in helping me understand the work they would be doing, did a fantastic job, provided a helpful guide and an open channel of communication on advice for future care, and all at a good price. Would recommend Sebastien's business to anyone!

Mulching FAQs

How often should I have my garden beds mulched?

We recommend refreshing mulch annually or bi-annually, depending on mulch type and decomposition rate. Annual application ensures consistent weed control, moisture retention, and curb appeal.

What type of mulch is best for my garden?

Cedar mulch is popular in Ottawa for durability and aroma. Pine bark is slightly more acidic, good for certain plants. We particularly recommend Shredded Black Bark for a modern look that contrasts well with flowers.

How deep should the mulch be applied?

2-3 inches is ideal. This suppresses weeds and retains moisture without suffocating roots. We avoid volcano mulching around tree trunks.

Do you prepare the beds before mulching?

Yes. Every mulch installation includes thorough bed weeding, debris removal, and edge defining before we apply a fresh mulch layer. Proper preparation is what separates professional results from a simple mulch dump.
