Nothing says springtime like a fresh layer of mulch on all of your plant beds. Mulch visually unifies your entire property. It gives your plant beds a uniform appearance and makes the colors of new flowers really pop.

In addition to its cosmetic value, the benefits of mulch are much more than meets the eye:

Weed Prevention

Mulch drastically reduces weeds in your plant beds. Without access to air and sunlight, weed seeds do not have the opportunity to germinate and grow. The physical barrier provided by mulch halts their growth process.

Water Regulation

Mulch also absorbs and retains water, which aids your irrigation efforts. In hot weather, water has difficulty soaking into hard, dry soil and will often run off and never reach its intended destination (plant roots). Mulch soaks up water like a sponge and allows it to slowly permeate the soil surface, efficiently delivering it to your plants.

Root Zone Insulation

Mulch acts as an insulator that helps regulate soil and root temperatures in both hot and cold weather. This protects your living landscaping from some of the shock of extreme temperatures, which is especially important as we head into the heat of summer and its baking sunshine.

Mulching is a messy task, but the season-long benefits far outweigh the expense and effort. Well-mulched planting beds will live, thrive and survive a much wider range of seasonal stress than bare soil.
