Mulch and Rock Installation in Crown Point, IN
Builder beds in Crown Point arrive with a few shrubs and no real edge, so mulch day is partly a reshape.
A newer Crown Point home usually has a bed by the porch that the builder shaped in an afternoon: thin soil, a few small shrubs, and a line where the mulch meets the lawn that wanders. Laying more mulch over that only hides it. We start by cleaning the bed out, then cut a clean spade edge that follows a deliberate curve, and set mulch at an even depth, pulled back off the siding and the trunks. Where a downspout empties into the bed, we switch that stretch to river rock over fabric, because mulch floats out of a wash zone and the clay underneath keeps it wet. The result is a front bed that looks planned instead of left over.

Mulch & Rock in Crown Point
How often does mulch need to be redone?
Most beds want a refresh once a year to keep the color and depth. Some hold two seasons if they were installed deep and stayed clean.
Can you put rock over an existing mulch bed?
We strip the old mulch out first. Rock over decomposing mulch settles unevenly and weeds come right through.
