Trees in their natural environment have a blanket of leaves and organic materials. The typical home landscape is much harsher. It’s usually got poor soil, very little organic matter and fluctuating moisture and temperature. Applying mulch will:
- Reduce weeds. A 2-4 inch layer will reduce growth and germination of weeds.
- Moderate soil temperatures. Mulch will keep the soil warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
- Improve soil structure. Mulch breaks down and provides nutrients and aerates the soil.
Make your trees feel like they’re back in the forest – but better. With a few inches of mulch they’ll look beautiful and be healthier.
