The Benefits of Mulch

Nothing fosters a beautiful, manicured landscape like freshly laid mulch. Mulch can be used in various places throughout your landscape, including flowerbeds and gardens as well as along walkways and patios. It is a highly versatile groundcover that can protect both the health and beauty of your landscape.

Mulch comes in a variety of colors, shapes and types. Whether you use red double ground hardwood or black organic top soil, mulch can offer the following benefits to your outdoor space:

• Insulates the soil
• Protects soil from extreme weather (heat, cold and rain)
• Retains water to help roots stay moist
• Keeps weeds away
• Prevents soil compaction
• Reduces lawn mower damage
• Defines walkways and outdoor hardscapes
• Showcases flowers, plants, trees and hardscapes
• Provides a manicured, tidy appearance to the overall landscape
