Mulch, Stone Edging & Bed Cleanups in Middleton, WI

Middleton is one of our busiest towns for landscape bed work. We've done mulch, edging or bed cleanups at ten Middleton properties and counting, from Bishops Bay to the neighborhoods off Century Avenue. Most of those jobs start the same way: beds that have gotten away from the homeowner, and plants worth keeping hidden under weeds.

What a bed refresh includes

One visit takes a tired bed back to clean lines and fresh cover, without replacing what's already growing:

  1. Clean out

    Weeds, dead perennials and volunteer growth come out. Shrubs, evergreens and the plants you want to keep stay.

  2. Re-cut the bed line

    Where the bed has blurred into the lawn, we cut a clean line again, or set new edging where it's needed.

  3. Weed barrier where it helps

    Fresh barrier goes down under rock and in beds where weeds keep coming back.

  4. Fresh mulch or rock

    A full layer of new mulch or rock, worked around every plant, and the debris hauled away.

Thin lawn along the bed edge? We seed and cover it in the same visit so the bed and lawn meet in one finished edge.

Common questions

How much does stone edging cost in Middleton?

Stone edging has a $1,000 project minimum, and most residential edging jobs land between $1,500 and $4,000 depending on the length of the bed lines and the stone you pick. Mulch, rock and cleanup work is priced on the same estimate, line by line, after we walk the beds with you.

Do you keep the plants I already have?

Yes. We clear around the plants worth keeping (shrubs, evergreens, established perennials) and only take out what is dead, overgrown or volunteer growth. We go over what stays and what goes with you before the work starts.

How often should beds get fresh mulch?

Most beds need a fresh top layer every year or two to keep the color and hold down weeds. Edging that is set on a compacted base keeps the bed line for years, so later visits are usually just a cleanup and a top-up.

Can you do the beds with a patio or wall project?

Yes, and it is often the best time. New beds around a patio can use the same border stone, so the patio and beds read as one finished piece instead of two separate jobs.
