The yard card, on your phone before we leave — grass species, the height it was cut at, whether the blade was sharp, which irrigation zones ran, and the line we deliberately did not do, with the reason.

Mulch & beds

A mulch volcano piled against a trunk holds moisture on the bark and rots it. It is the most common thing we undo on a new property.

Depth, and why more is not better

Two to three inches suppresses weeds and holds water. Six inches is a sponge that keeps rain off the roots underneath and grows its own fungus.

Off the trunk, always

Mulch is pulled back to expose the root flare on every tree and shrub. If your last company built a cone against the trunk, we will show you what is under it.

Edges and what goes under

A cut edge holds a line better than plastic and does not surface in three years. Fabric goes under rock, not under mulch — mulch is supposed to break down.

The chat takes what the yard is doing and the address, then hands it to the desk. It books walkthroughs — it never tries to diagnose a lawn in a chat window.
