Mulching is one of the most beneficial practices you as a homeowner and/or business owner can enjoy for better tree and plant health. However, improper mulching materials and practices may have little, or even negative, impact on the trees and plants in your landscape. We provide mulch spreading services; from simple flower beds, to property border gardens. With years of experience, we will have your mulch beds looking clean, beautiful, and professional.

 

Benefits of Proper Mulching: 

• Helps reduce soil moisture loss through evaporation

• Helps control weed germination and growth

• Insulates soil, protecting roots from extreme summer and winter temperatures

• Can improve soil biology, aeration, structure (aggregation of soil particles), and drainage over time

• Can improve soil fertility as certain mulch types decompose

• Inhibits certain plant diseases

• Gives plant beds a uniform, well-cared-for look

 

Trees and plants growing in a natural forest environment have their roots anchored in a rich, well-aerated soil full of essential nutrients and soil microorganisms. The soil is blanketed by leaves, organic materials, and living organisms that replenish and recycle nutrients. This environment is optimal for root growth and mineral uptake. Urban landscapes and new developments, however, are typically harsher environments with poor quality soils, reduced organic matter, and large fluctuations in soil temperature and moisture. Applying a layer of organic mulch can mimic a more natural environment and improve tree and plant health.
