The Roots of Our Weeding Services
From Overgrown to Under Control
Before I ever had a business, I had a grandma who believed in hard work—and neat flower beds. When I was 12 or 13, she got me my first job: weeding and planting flowers around the street sign poles in her subdivision. She’d pick me up early in the morning, drive me from bed to bed, supply the tools, and show me what needed to be done. She didn’t just drop me off—she worked alongside me, teaching me how to tell the difference between a weed and a flower, how to clean up a space without tearing it apart, and why little things like this mattered. That’s where all of this started.
I’ve been weeding ever since. These days, the tools are sharper and the jobs are bigger—but the values are the same: show up, do it right, and leave things better than you found them.
At Colin Can Help, we believe great landscape care starts with a real conversation. Some homeowners want a full reset that gets their beds back in shape. Others just need a cleanup before company comes over or the house goes on the market. Whatever your situation, we meet you where you’re at—and help you get where you want to go.
The first thing we do is ask the right questions. How do you want to use this space? What should it look and feel like when we’re done? Whether you’re planning to replant, simplify, or just get control of the mess, your answers shape the plan. We don’t do guesswork—just clear recommendations based on your goals.
We’re not a spray-and-go company. Chemicals are a last resort, not our starting point. We rely on hands-on knowledge of weeds, roots, and soil. We know what thrives—and what takes over—in Northeast Ohio, and we tailor each cleanup to your space. That means removing what doesn’t belong, preserving what does, and leaving your beds better than we found them.
If you’re ready to get started, you’ve got a few easy options. You can send us photos or a short video of your beds to get quick input on what’s going on. You can call our 24/7 AI assistant—trained on all of our services and local plant knowledge—any time of day to ask questions and explore options. Or, if you prefer, we can schedule a time to walk the property together and map out a plan step by step.
However you choose to begin, we’re here to make it simple and worthwhile. Your beds have potential—we’ll help you bring it out.
Mulch 101:
Pricing depends on the bed size, prep work, and mulch type. We’re happy to give you a fast quote based on photos or an in-person visit.
Yes—many clients pair mulch with cleanups, planting, or trimming. The more we can tackle in one visit, the better pricing options we can offer.
We’re based in Euclid, OH and serve Cleveland’s east side suburbs, including University Heights, Shaker Heights, South Euclid, and nearby areas.
Mulch helps your soil retain moisture, suppress weeds, regulate temperature, and improve the overall health of your plants. It also gives your yard a clean, finished look.
Compost is worked into the soil to feed plants. Mulch sits on top of the soil to protect it and regulate conditions. Both are useful—but for different reasons.
Properly installed mulch keeps soil cool in summer and insulated in winter, locks in moisture so you water less, suppresses weed growth, improves soil health as it breaks down, and gives a clean finish to your beds.
We usually don’t. A proper layer of mulch is more effective and better for soil health than fabric, which can trap moisture and block nutrients.

Yes—if you already have mulch on-site, we offer labor-only pricing. That said, it’s usually more cost-effective to have us supply everything, since we buy in bulk and handle delivery.
Edging isn’t included in our basic mulch service, but it can be added. We charge $0.75/ft to refresh existing edges or $1.50/ft to cut new ones.
Yes—natural hardwood mulch is safe for both kids and pets. We avoid mulches with harsh dyes or chemical additives.
Mulch doesn’t attract pests if installed properly. We keep it clear of foundations and apply it at the right depth to avoid issues.
We offer double-shredded natural mulch, triple-shredded dark hardwood mulch, premium black mulch, and certified playground mulch. All materials come from trusted local suppliers and are installed with care.
We recommend 2 to 3 inches for the best balance of weed control and moisture retention. Less than that won’t work well, and more can harm your plants.
Most beds benefit from a fresh layer once a year, usually in spring. High-traffic areas or dyed mulch may need a light touch-up in fall to keep them looking sharp.
