Removing years of mulch/dead leaves
Our backyard needs a little extra TLC this year and I’m trying to find the most efficient way to go about it. For a couple of years now, we have had our backyard mulched by a landscaper. But this year, the area pictured is just a giant pit of dead leaves and old mulch. It’s probably half a foot deep. I would really like to remove all the old mulch, etc. (as much as possible) and lay down a fresh layer of mulch. How is the best way to go about this? What is the best way to dispose of what is removed? Any insight or tips are welcome.
EDIT: thank you everyone for commenting. I appreciate the information on what this mulch layer really *is.*
