Making your garden or yard beautiful doesn’t only add to your curb appeal but it can also somehow make you feel good or relaxed because of how clean and nice it looks. Personally, I used to struggle in making smooth or perfect circles when it comes to tree edging because I just can’t seem to get it right. That is until I found this video tutorial by Everyday Home Repairs on YouTube and I learned how to master tree edging and mulching so that I can do it perfectly every single time. Check out this technique and you will surely be surprised by the outcome.
Materials:
- Tie-down straps
- Spade or edger
- Hand rake
- Mulch
- Preen Garden weed preventer
Directions:
Step 1
Wrap and loop a tie-down strap around the base of the tree, then insert the spade or edge on the loop and pull it tightly away from the tree. Start pushing the spade down the ground, then pull it, and move to the side next to it until you’ve cut the whole perimeter of the tree’s base. Start digging the ground inside the perimeter, then throw the sod away, or set it aside if you want to use it somewhere in your yard or garden.

Step 2
You can use a hand rake at this point to remove any leftover grass and to expose the base of the tree nicely, then make sure to make the ground nice, clean, and flat, and sprinkle some Preen Garden solution all over the dirt to prevent future weeds from growing. Now, add a layer of mulch that is thick enough to even out the ground, then sprinkle more Preen Garden solution all over the top, and allow the mulch to soak the solution in.
