We are not a landscaping company! Garden maintenance is our passion. Since starting the business in July 2023 our schedule has been very full. Many people love their gardens but do not have the time or physical health to maintain them. Some clients just don't want to do it! Our goal is to assist our clients with maintaining the health and beauty of their outdoor gardens. Our services include hand weeding, deadheading, plantings, hedge trimming, fertilizing, mulching, weed deterrent applications, watering, winterization preparation, yard and waste cleanup, leaf removal and gravel driveway maintenance.

"Garden Warrior arrived on time, and she did an excellent job of cleaning leaves, bark mulch, limb debris, and pinecones from my yard. I would definitely hire her again when I need mulch and planting help in my garden."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

A light layer of mulch can help protect a tree, retain moisture, and keep the soil healthy. However, it’s important to avoid over-mulching or piling the mulch up around the trunk of a tree, a practice notoriously called “volcano mulching.” That piled mulch can increase the chances of rot and disease on the tree trunk as well as overwhelming the soil, which needs access to a certain amount of air. Topped trees have it hard enough: mulch sparingly while they heal.

Nonorganic mulch, like river rocks, pebbles, or lava rock, technically lasts the longest. It helps with moisture retention and weed control but doesn’t break down and release nutrients like organic mulch. Wood mulch decomposes slowly, which can help it last longer than leaf or straw mulch, but it won’t provide as many nutrients as quickly as the faster decomposing types.

You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.

Generally, you want the soil for your edible plants to have good drainage, organic matter for nutrients, a loose texture (like loam soil), and a balanced pH level. However, the type of plants you're growing will dictate the exact characteristics your soil needs to thrive. For example, brussels sprout prefers more acidic soil, while broccoli prefers more alkaline soil. 

Mulch is best used in garden beds and yards, not in your driveway as pothole filler. It is meant to stimulate plant growth. Upon repeated pressure, it turns into compost, which also serves as fertilizer for weeds to take over. The roots will then break into your driveway, leading to more material loss and structural collapses.
