Typical Long Island market ranges, not a Green Horizon quote. Every property is priced individually. See the 2026 cost guide. Heavy weeding, new edges and tight access add time.
Mulch done right
More isn't better. Mulch piled up against tree trunks ("volcano mulching") traps moisture against the bark and invites rot and pests. We keep it 2-3 inches deep across the bed and pull it back a few inches from stems and trunks. That depth holds moisture in our sandy soil and blocks most weeds without smothering roots.
Most homeowners refresh mulch once a year in spring. A light top-up in fall keeps beds sharp through winter.
