A lot of the rock and mulch work we do in Evergreen is refreshing beds that have been in place for years, sometimes since a house was built decades ago, rather than designing new ones. The clay underneath those beds is usually the real story, not just what's visible on top.
What's actually happening under an old bed
Years of mulch breaking down and settling can leave a compacted layer that drains poorly, especially over Evergreen's clay soil, which doesn't move water through quickly to begin with. Before adding new rock or mulch, we check what's actually happening underneath, since piling fresh material over a soggy, compacted base doesn't fix the problem, it just hides it for a season.
Clay holds water against organic mulch longer
Mulch sitting on poorly draining clay stays wet longer after rain than the same mulch would on sandy soil, which can lead to it breaking down faster or developing mold in shaded spots. In those conditions we sometimes recommend rock instead, or improving drainage under the bed before mulch goes back in.
Working with beds that have grown in around mature plants
Established Evergreen yards often have shrubs and perennials that have filled in over years, and refreshing the bed material around them takes more care than working a new, empty bed. We work around root zones rather than disturbing plants that are otherwise healthy.
Matching new material to decades of established style
A newer rock color or sharp mulch edge can look out of place against a property that's had the same understated look for years. We bring samples to the site and talk through what actually complements what's already there.
A refresh schedule that fits an established yard
Beds on older properties don't all need the same attention at the same time, some areas hold up fine for years while others need more frequent refreshing due to shade, drainage, or plant type. We can scope work bed by bed rather than treating the whole yard as one project.
When rock makes more sense than mulch on clay ground
In spots where poor drainage keeps organic mulch soggy or moldy, switching to rock, paired with regraded soil underneath, often solves the problem outright rather than fighting it season after season with fresh mulch that just breaks down the same way again.
If your beds look tired or you're not sure why a spot never seems to drain, we'll walk the property and give you a straight answer.
