The Benefits of Mulch

So why should you add mulch to your landscaping? Well, adding mulch around plants, flowers, trees and shrubs helps improve the health of the soil, which will help all of your landscaping thrive. Homeowners use our residential mulching services to ensure their property looks great all year round. Whether you need tree mulching, flower beds, or other areas mulched, there are many benefits. Here are some of the benefit that adding mulch to your landscape will provide:

• It suppresses weeds.
• Helps improve soil moisture, which can prevent plants from drying out quickly.
• Reduces soil compaction and erosion.
• Helps regulate soil by protecting plants against extreme temperatures.
• Protect tree roots from damage caused by trimmers and mowers.
• Can add colour to your landscape and create an aesthetically pleasing, polished look.
• Breaks down into nutrient-rich material, during decomposition to provide nourishment for plants.

There are many types of mulch, but not all of them are appropriate for every landscape. Here is a list of the most commonly used types of mulch:

Mulching Maintenance

Landscaping with mulch can do wonders for the trees and plants in your yard. But when to mulch depends on the type of mulch used, with some requiring maintenance to keep them looking fresh and effective all year long.

The following are some tips for maintaining mulch beds:

• Refresh mulch: The colour of mulch will naturally fade due to sun exposure and other factors. We recommend refreshing mulch every year by adding a thin layer to the top of the old mulch. In some cases, it’s beneficial to remove mulch and add a fresh, new layer.
• Control weeds: Mulch does suppress weeds, but aggressive weeds still have a way of poking through. When you see weeds, pull them before they produce seeds and take over your flower beds. If needed, we can provide weed control to your residential mulching services so you can avoid this back-breaking work!
• Mix it and turn it: It’s best to mix and turn mulch at least a couple of times a year. You can turn over mulch with a rake, small shovel, or by hand.
• Apply mulch twice a year: If you notice that weeds are appearing more frequently or the mulch layer is thin, adding more mulch will help.
