Mulching and Tree Health
Mulches are materials placed over the soil surface to maintain, conserve and improve soil conditions. This is one of the most beneficial things a homeowner can do for the health of a tree. Mulch can reduce water loss from the soil, minimize weed competition, and improve soil structure. Properly applied, mulch can give landscapes a handsome, well-groomed appearance. However, if mulch is applied incorrectly or the wrong material is used, it can actually cause harm to trees and other landscape plants.
Benefits of Proper Mulching
Proper mulching offers numerous benefits for your garden and landscape. It helps maintain soil moisture by reducing evaporation, thus minimizing the need for frequent watering. A 2-4 inch layer of mulch effectively controls weeds by limiting their germination. As nature’s insulation blanket, mulch keeps soil warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, providing optimal conditions for plant health.
Over time mulch can improve soil aeration, structure, and drainage, enhancing the overall quality of the soil. Some mulches - including our all-natural, preservative free option - also improve soil fertility. Mulching can also inhibit certain plant diseases, creating a healthier environment for your plants.
Mulching around trees reduces the likelihood of damage from weed-whackers and lawn mowers. And a layer of mulch gives plant beds a uniform, well-cared for look, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your landscape.
