If you're looking to completely renovate your landscape beds in Kansas or Missouri, follow these five steps. First, edge them to define their shape and give them a clean look. Next, remove weeds, dead plants, and debris from them to provide a fresh start. Then, put down weed barrier fabric to prevent pesky weeds from surfacing and causing problems. After that, you can add plants that suit your aesthetic preferences and the conditions of your landscape beds. Lastly, add a ground cover to give them a finished look and provide additional benefits, like moisture retention, weed suppression, and soil temperature regulation. By following these five steps, you can completely renovate your landscape beds and give them a fresh, new look!

1. Edge your landscape beds to define their shape and give them a clean look.

The first step to renovating your landscape beds is to edge them to define their shape and give them a clean look. Edging involves creating a distinct line between your landscape beds and your lawn to separate the two. This will help your landscape beds stand out and give them a more polished appearance. Additionally, edging will prevent grass from encroaching on your landscape beds, which can make them look messy and unkempt.

2. Remove weeds, dead plants, and debris from your landscape beds.

The next step to renovating your landscape beds is to remove weeds, dead plants, and debris from them. Weeds are unsightly and can steal nutrients and resources from your desired plants. Dead plants can also detract from the overall appearance of your landscape beds. By removing these things, you can give your landscape beds a fresh start and create a clean slate for your new plants.

3. Put down weed barrier fabric in your landscape beds.

After removing weeds, dead plants, and debris from your landscape beds, you'll want to put down weed barrier fabric. This fabric acts as a barrier between the soil and the sun, preventing weed seeds from germinating and growing. Additionally, weed barrier fabric allows water and nutrients to pass through, so your plants can still access everything they need to thrive. By putting down weed barrier fabric, you can reduce the number of weeds that pop up in your landscape beds, saving you time and effort in the long run.

4. Add plants to your landscape beds.

Once you've cleaned up your landscape beds and put down weed barrier fabric, you can add plants to them. When choosing plants, you'll want to consider your aesthetic preferences and the conditions of your landscape beds. For example, if your landscape beds receive a lot of sunlight, you'll want to choose plants that thrive in full sun. On the other hand, if your landscape beds are in a shaded area, you'll want to choose plants that can tolerate low light conditions. You'll also want to consider the size of your landscape beds and the size of the plants you want to add. By choosing the right plants for your landscape beds, you can create a beautiful, cohesive design that enhances the overall aesthetic of your property.

Some popular plants to add to your landscape beds include coreopsis, hostas, and phlox.

5. Add a ground cover to your landscape beds.

The final step to renovating your landscape beds is to add a ground cover to them. A ground cover is a layer of material that sits on top of the soil in your landscape beds. It can be made of various materials, such as mulch or rocks. A ground cover can help retain moisture in the soil, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature. It can also give your landscape beds a finished look and enhance their overall aesthetic. By adding a ground cover to your landscape beds, you can provide additional benefits to your plants and make them look even more beautiful.
