EDGING and MULCHING around TREES - How to get a CLEAN LOOK 

Important note, mulch should not cover up the root flare of the tree, so if you only see the trunk and no flaring out of the top of the root system over the years it will cause problems. I would lower the mulch by the bottom of the tree another 4-6 inches down. If you don't believe me ask an arborist :)

These are great tips for flat lawns with no drainage coming in.I happen to live in TN and all these ideas go right out the window as you can imagine with rain coming down the mountains ! Your yard is beautiful !

Great info, I cleared the edges of my mulch bays myself with a rake the other day and that helped out great when it was time for my edger -Thanks and looks awesome!

I use a string and flour to mark my circle first. Nice tip about the mulch and the sidewalk, thanks

Very helpful tips with using garden tools. Love the info around sidewalks

Crispy looks great. Edging beds is a must!

Crispy lines!! Lawn and garden looking good

Thanks for the cool tips and reminders LLC! And good job on the video

One easy way to get a perfect circle is to tie a rope or a string around the trunk of the tree measure it out to the specific depth you want your circle to be at and as you are doing the cutout move the rope or string into a complete circle and draw out your line. This also works well when you're trying to build round fire pits out of blocks you can put a pin in the Middle with a string or rope on it and draw out your circle and get it perfect every time.Former lanscaper of 20 years here.

Toggled between watching you edge...and staring at the beautiful breeze block by your front door! Thanks for the video.

Crispy edges make a lawn! Great video!

When you mulch you need to keep it 6-12 inches away from the tree, covering the tree will actually kill it, just a heads up

I was searching for a great video on edging.... I guess I'm on the wrong site lol Great video, bro. Keep up the great work for us all!!

Thank you. I'm getting ready to do just that. Great presentation

Wow that does look great for sure I haven't done too many of these natural mulch beds like this around trees yet but I am looking at doing a couple this year hopefully thanks for the tips 👊

Great video Kyle. Mulch and edges came out awesome. I have the B&D 40V string trimmer with the edge guard without the wheel and love it. It is dummy proof for clean edges and I do it after each mow which is 3-4 times a week so it always looks clean like a haircut that is always maintained lol :)

Very Beautiful! Awesome Job!!

Super pretty, love to see that drainage ditch or whatever is going on the side of your house that pattern is interesting.

Really helpful. Techniques I will definitely use this spring.

Nice that’s a good looking yard.

I found out your channel today and I'm loving it. Thank you very much for sharing this video!!! 👍

Simple but very well done video and great tips! 👊

You can use twine or string looped around the trunk of the tree to get a perfect circle. Just measure the radius you want and double the length of the rope, loop it around the tree and you can score the grass with a screwdriver or some other sharp tool. Then dig with the shovel or manual edger.

Beautiful yard!

Love that weedwacker too

Fab video & some great ideas for me just starting my edging project here in the UK. Your trees look pretty damn good , got some mulch ordered already👍👍

So clean!!

Another hit, Kyle!

Ayyyyyyeee my mans pulled out the Conchords on em 🔥🔥🔥🔥

GREAT JOB DUDE !!!

Looks beautiful

Great video Kyle !! Nothing better than tight, crisp edges and fresh mulch to make the lawn pop. Makes everything look better....just like a nice pair of shoes 😀😀

Man. Tight edges. 🔥

Man...I was looking for a way avoid the plastic and rubber edging. I appreciate the tutorial. Salut

Great job Kyle! Good tip about laying mulch right up to the concrete. Hopefully I'll get to remulch my beds this weekend. Home depot had 5 bags for 10 bucks last weekend, hopefully they still have that deal

Looking good my friend!!!

Looks sharp. 🔥

Rocking the Sox hat awesome

I totally agree the edges make all the difference. My issue is that the lawn that goes up to the flowerbeds is not nice and thick. So that really stops the edges looking so good. I live in Canada and so we get a lot of crabgrass which I try using pre emergent killer. But we also have a thick grass and just loves to grow at the edges. Should I just cut back about 6ins and put in some sod? I have worked so hard on the flower beds and really would love to take it to the next step. Any suggestions Thanks

I've used that trimmer for at least 5 years without issue. I bought the hedge trimmer and now have 3 batteries on rotation.

Love the simplicity of the vid.. Snuck the concord 11s in too!!!

Looks good!

Your shoe game is tight...loving those B&W Air Jordans. LoL!

Excellent advice thank you

I enjoyed watching you make it like the haircut…..looks good

Thank you!

very good job

Nice and tidy.👍✌

Good stuff man

Great video, man! You’ve built some good skill with that string trimmer. I’ve tried and I’m weak at it, hard to control for me. I went with the Ryobi battery edger and it’s great. Might be tough for the curvature you have in your hardscape though! Cheers.

Great job 👏 👍 👌 you are a pro!

Looking good

Great one my friend!! Btw, Look at that hat, Mercedes is killing it 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Very nice!

Thnx for sharing bro.

do you put down a growth block under the mulch? Do you recommend buying a border edge?

what if ypu have fresh new mulch and how do i keep the grass from getting into the mulch when i need to edge!?

Nice trick with the boot.

I bought the big brother of that trimmer 7 years ago and still going strong. B&D made a great combo with the that wheel and rotating head. Still using the striper from your video last year and couldn’t be happier. Question though, Do you level your yard? If so what material do you use? Sorry if I missed that video if you’ve already done it. Appreciate the content!

Great one. I see the J sneakers

Thank you

Looks, like a Mulch Volcano-- to me... 🌳🌋 🐸

Great ideas- thanks! And go White Sox!

A friend recommended putting peat moss down before the mulch to keep the soil moist. Is this necessary?

Killer boots, man.

Fantastic super

Looks great bro, I love black mulch, wish the color lasted tho!

I would love to do this with the tree in my front yard the only problem is there are tons of big roots sticking up out of the ground, how do I get around this? I’d appreciate your advice thank you and I love your channel

Any guideline on how large of a circle to make around a tree? Or just whatever you think looks good?

My bassett hounds wreak havoc on the grass around the base of my trees going after the squirrels. I'm thinking I may do something like this just for that reason.

You're killin me with that trimmer built for a five year old.

Dude I'm heading out to Chicago tomorrow and bringing you a cubs hat and a Javier baez jersey 😆🤣 Kidding around great video brother 👍👌

Concord 11’s 🔥

LOVE THE SOX HAT THANK GOD IT'S NOT A CUBBIE HAT LOL GREAT JOB ON THE EDGING

Awesome

Those J's though🔥

I have tree roots going all over! how will i do the circular bed with these roots?!

Wow a Sox Fan

Great video, thanks for the tip. Have you ever seen or tried the bed redefined her, if yes did you like it? Thanks

nice little flex with the jordan 11's. i see you lol

Pick up your own mulch. Most places charge per weight at shipping, so they increase the price of mulch. Same mulch online shipping 40+ vs 5-10 picking up at a store. Some mulches are even on sale at $2. (Home depot/Lowes etc)

Nice video Where did you get the wheel attachment on you weeder?

How do you keep weeds from coming up through the mulch in your gardens and under your trees?

My trees are surrounded by invasive grass….Can I just drip mulch on top of the grass ti create a munch ring? OR, do I need to dig out all the grass around trees?

Go Sox!!!

Have you ever heard that trying miracle gro potting mix moisture control vs mulch is a good choice? Please advise. Thanks

Hi. What species is the little pine by the front of the house?

When you first made the circles around your trees you just used your shovel and an edger or was there other tools involved? I have thirteen huge pine trees I want to make look nice like what you have.

🔥 nice work man! I think that thing extends. It may save your back 😂 the one I got from my brother does! I have a WORX brand and a Black and Decker.

Ok ... I saw those ....CONCORDs💪💪🤣👍👍....sub ... came for edging...stayed for Js 🤣🤣...

Been looking for a good pair of gardening gloves. Recommendation?

Do u have fabric under there to block weeds from coming out? I have the same set up but with 3 palm trees and wanna add mulch just like u did but I was wondering if I have to dig first to take out dirt and add fabric to block weeds or unwanted grass and then lay down mulch?? Thank u

Great video! I do a good job keeping my lines around my trees. However, my challenge is keeping the grass from growing through the mulch. How do you accomplish this? Advance thanks

What size boot do you need to smooth the dirt out?

🔥🔥

how does one do this around multiple small trees ( fruit trees) put in the last three years, they have a tendency to get weedy.

Bro says, "Don't do mulch volcanoes," then does a mulch volcano. 😂😂😂

Does somebody knows what kind of grass is the one around the trees? Looks how I want mine to look like

What do you recommend to do when you have tree roots near the surface? Go to a larger circle? Suggestions would be great!

Its the Jordan quick cut for me
