The Finishing Touch for a Stunning Landscape Benefits of Professional Mulching & Edging
Give your Ottawa property a professionally maintained look that lasts. Mulching and edging are essential steps for both aesthetic appeal and garden health.
Fresh mulch revitalizes tired garden beds, suppresses weeds, and protects your plants, while crisp edging creates clean lines and definition. CleanYards Landscaping offers expert installation using quality materials for a beautiful, long-lasting finish.

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

Our Mulching & Edging Process
We follow a meticulous process to ensure a flawless finish for your Ottawa property.

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.
Define & Cut Edges
Our team carefully cuts precise, clean edges along all designated borders using professional equipment, creating sharp definition and a neat trench for mulch containment.
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.

Mulching & Edging FAQs
We generally recommend refreshing mulch annually or bi-annually, depending on the type of mulch used and how quickly it decomposes. Annual application ensures consistent weed control, moisture retention, and aesthetic appeal for your Ottawa garden.
The best mulch depends on your goals (aesthetics, longevity, soil improvement) and plant types. Cedar mulches are popular in Ottawa for their durability and pleasant aroma. Pine bark is slightly more acidic, good for certain plants. We particularly recommend the Shredded Black Bark/Pine for a modern look that contrasts well with flowers. We can discuss the best options for your specific landscape during the free estimate.
A depth of 2-3 inches is typically ideal. This is enough to suppress weeds and retain moisture without suffocating plant roots. We ensure proper application depth and avoid "volcano mulching" around tree trunks.
For the sharpest look, edging is often done multiple times per season. However, a deep, clean edge cut during a spring cleanup and mulch application can often last well into the summer. We typically include edging with our mulch installation service.
