What is Mulch?

Mulch is a material that is spread over the surface of soil as a covering. Mulch has many purposes in landscaping including helping retain moisture in the soil which is essential for keeping the soil moist for plant growth. Additionally, it acts as a barrier to block the growth of weeds. Using mulch to cover the soil surface helps to maintain cooler temperatures around the plant roots which is beneficial for their health. During the winter months, mulch plays a role in preventing frost heaving which protects plants from potential damage. Lastly, mulch serves as an aesthetic appeal in landscaping contributing to a more attractive outdoor environment.

Natural Mulch

Natural mulches are derived from materials such as compost, shredded leaves, or bark. These offer a solution to enriching soil health and promoting plant growth. By providing essential nutrients, retaining moisture, and preventing weed growth, natural mulches offer a thriving ecosystem in your yard. Natural mulch decomposes over time and during this process, it feeds the soil.
