Spring Cleanup & Mulching: A Fresh Start for Your Beds

March 2026 · Independence Landscape and Lawncare

A spring cleanup sets the tone for the whole season. Here's why fresh edges and mulch matter.

Clear the clutter

Removing winter debris, weeds and leaves lets your plants breathe and makes room for new growth.

Cut a clean edge

A natural spade edge gives your beds a crisp outline and keeps grass from creeping in.

Mulch the right way

Two to three inches of mulch holds moisture and suppresses weeds. Keep it away from trunks and stems.
