Below are photos of a great example how we can come in and transform your previous year's mulch bed and revamp
it looking sharp and fresh for the new spring, or any time of year. The example below, we came in and began by
trimming any bushes and shrubs that need reshaped or thinned. Then we go around cutting a crisp new edge in
followed by removing all weeds, excess old mulch, and any trimmings. After this we spread SnapShot. This is our
effective pre-emergent herbicide that slows down and prevents most weeds from returning. (Instead of this step we
can, with the customers request, place Weed Barrier down before Mulching.) After SnapShot we then put down fresh
mulch (Hemlock in this example) and smooth to a settled, sharp look.

This example really demonstrates the clean crisp edges of the many outlines we are able to cut. Have an odd-shaped
flower/mulch bed? Or looking to have a custom bed shape you'd like? Let us know, we'd be happy to get your desired
bed shape and design. In the pictures below, we trimmed many of the plants in the beds and coated with fresh Black
Mulch.

Here are a few more finished photos.
On Route 22W, this customer wanted his overgrown bank cleared and replaced with 4B Limestone. We started by
removing all plants and shrubs from the bank, followed by removing a layer of sod. We followed this up by placing
our Weed Barrier down to prohibit future vegetation growth. A 6" x 6" board retaining wall was placed at the base of
the bank creating a sturdy base preventing any limestone from rolling down.

This house below is another one we used Black Mulch. When we arrived, the beds were overgrowing with unwanted
weeds, the tree in the front was covered with vines, and the rear bank was over run. We cleaned all the beds out,
cleaned the front tree up which you can see the tree much more clearly after all the vines were removed, and cut
clean edges in around all the beds. With all the bed finalized with Black Mulch, the visual made beautiful before and
after photos.

This backyard is adjacent to the Brooklyn Fire Hall. This project encompassed removing basically everything but the
shed and fence seen in the photos. After clearing, we laid down our Weed Barrier and began designing the layout to
the customer's specs. The border course, to the 2B River Stone walkway, is Natural Stone. These Natural Stones are
the border of the small garden we outlined to allow the customer to plant crops.

Here is a little project that made a big appearance in the customer's yard. A circle wall was formed around the base
of the tree. After which, premium topsoil was placed inside the wall allowing for future planting.

This landscape design is located between Belltown and Bannerville. We used our Mini Excavator to transform this
unused hillside into a surround landscape mulch bed, with several natural rock walls. The walk path has
wood-looking concrete stepping stones that fool most people with natural looking woodgrain design. Also in the
landscape design is the fantastic waterfall with pond. We laid rubber matting in the water fall and pond to prevent
water loss. The happy customer of this pond has many fish and frogs in the pond.

Located behind Dairy Queen in Milroy, the customer had us come in and raise his mulch bed with the use of a block
wall. At the end of the driveway, we edged out and mulched around the mailbox. Entering the driveway you'll notice
the paver-edged pull offs, as well as the Cool Patch added between the mailbox and the asphalt.

These mulch beds are located at a camp where the road front was rocky and weedy with a stomp on the one side.
After clearing both sides of the driveway, Weed Barrier was placed down before planting several flowers, and other
small plants. Then a coat of Hemlock Mulch was applied and smoothed out to its settled look. Finally stones were
placed lining the driveway.

Up near the Lewistown Country Club, these walls enhanced the appeal of these owners' landscapes. After tearing
down the existing wall, we matched new block to the old, thus, rebuilding the wall reusing old block. On top of the top
wall, a Flagstone walkway surrounds the pond. The red fence was removed and was replaced with a new one, painted
white. The lower wall matches the curve of the upper but we installed a vinyl fence. We finished up by bringing in
topsoil, planted grass seed, and coating with straw.
