Stop in for a cup of coffee

Looks good, but taking up old mulch dont happen here. What do you do with it? I use ‘natural’ mulch ( wood chips, bark mulch...) and let it rot away. Top off as needed. If it gets too high I take away dirt from underneath.
We can’t use mulch up here, the wind is so strong it just blows the mulch everywhere and you end up with piles at the foot of hard scrape.
