Thanks for adding the white board illustration. I've been looking for a clear illustration of how to properly do a "check-mark" edge and this is the only video I've found that shows what I needed to see.

Thank you for watching and I'm glad it helped. Took me years to figure it out.

I have a slight slope in the front of my house. I would love to set up a mulch bed, but not sure if it works with inclined terrains. Any thoughts?

@mike_jackson Год назад

That is a well shaped edge, the grass and many weed runners will stop when they hit air. The main problem I have had is the edge breaking down if a mower tire gets near it while the soil is moist, but filling the trench with mulch will not prevent that. If edging barrier is used make sure to pull old edging away before adding mulch.

@QuietLawn Год назад

They will stop when you use your string trimmer to soft edge them when you mow your grass. Yes, depending on if you have soft soil, have to be careful not to drive into the edge.

@@QuietLawncouldn’t I just pour my mulch on top of grass, without digging ?

@joecalabrese8979 Год назад

Any recommendation for water pooling at the trough where it meets the grass?

@kevinbowler9642 9 месяцев назад

That's exactly how I do it

@kathleensabino374 Год назад

Very helpful ! Thank you. How would you edge for a driveway. How low below grade should the “dirt” be before laying mulch. 5:07

@QuietLawn Год назад

Thanks for watching. I usually just take a rake or hoe and take it an inch or two below the concrete so that you can pack the new mulch in and not have it wash over onto the driveway as much.

@kathleensabino374 Год назад

@@QuietLawn thank you! Good information.

@vinny6156 Год назад

Do you bag and throw away the stuff that you rake up with the hard rake?

@QuietLawn Год назад

If there's trash and debris in there

@ronmatthews2250 Год назад

Do you put weed barrier in before the mulch ?

@xseeyah 2 года назад

As part of the prep, do you spray the existing weeds with liquid weed killer and then after you lay down the mulch you add pre-emergent?

@QuietLawn 2 года назад

We do spray first. We don't add pre-emergent after anymore because customers expected zero weeds for the next few months and that's not possible. So, we stopped. But, you could.

@FNM5429 2 месяца назад

Great Video, Thank You. I have some smaller areas this will work great in. I do have a larger area in my back yard currently full of weeds. In this situation do you recommend roto tilling or digging it all up, weed treating and then going on to define and bark the area or should I maybe sheet mulch it, like define the edges, remove loose material, level and cover in cardboard, then mulch over it? Not sure what to do there. Also, what do you do in later years, like when this mulch breaks down, do you rake out and remove material. If you keep adding mulch, obviously it is going to stack up and you will lose the edge and start getting mounds of excess material.

@jdemuro1 Месяц назад

Can't answer everything since I have a lot of the same questions. But in terms of removing old mulch, you don't need to since it will gradually break down over time and turn into soil. And you can lay a shorter depth of mulch on top after the initial mulch bed. The broken down mulch provides nutrients and organic material to keep your plants healthy. And this is why you don't want to put down landscape/filter fabric because it will prevent the mulch from breaking down into your soil. Hope that helps and also verify anything I said since I'm still learning.

@QuietLawn Месяц назад

Thanks for commenting. 1. I would spray all of the weeds and grass 2. I would plant any plants in that area 3. I would define the edges 4. I would lay down the mulch over everything You don't need cardboard or weed barrier with wood mulch. The biggest benefit of it is that it will decompose over time and enrich the soil underneath. The next year, just clean your edges up a bit, spray weed, and apply another fresh 1.5-2" layer of mulch.

@QuietLawn Месяц назад

It only stacks up if you go too thick and it isn't about to decompose fast enough. More is not better.
