Q&A

What type of mulch is best for preventing weeds in my Whitmore Lake flower beds?

For our area, a coarse, natural hardwood bark mulch is highly effective. Its larger chunks knit together to block sunlight from reaching weed seeds, and it decomposes slowly to enrich the soil. We recommend applying a 2-3 inch layer over quality landscape fabric for maximum, long-lasting weed suppression throughout our Michigan seasons.

My plastic landscape edging keeps cracking or heaving. What's a more durable option?

This is a common issue here due to frost heave. We recommend switching to flexible, rubber or composite edging. These materials can flex with ground movement without cracking, and their deeper anchoring stakes provide superior stability. For a permanent solution, consider a low, soldier-course brick or stone edging, which handles freeze-thaw cycles beautifully.

Besides mulch and edging, what supplies do I need for a weed-free bed that lasts?

Start with a proper foundation. We recommend a woven landscape fabric to block weeds, combined with our premium soil or compost to improve plant health. For edging, ensure you have the right stakes and connectors for a secure install. Having the correct tools, like a sharp spade for clean edges, makes the job easier and leads to more professional, lasting results.
