Mulch Installation
What is Mulching?
Mulching is a process of covering soil surface around gardens, trees, and shrubs to promote congenial conditions for plant growth. Mulching preserves moisture, while conserving the soil. It helps moderate soil temperature, salinity, and inhibits weed growth.Benefits of Mulching Your Lawn and Landscapes
A properly mulched lawn instantly improves its overall appearance. Mulching also protects your plant’s root system, while adding nutrients to the soil. It also helps prevent erosion of the topsoil. When properly applied, mulches also:- Suppress weed germination by eliminating sunlight, which is essential for weed growth. Weeds are nutrient drainer and steal resources meant for your garden plants.
- Lock-down moisture content; thus, protects your plants from withering and drying out.
- Moderate temperature fluctuations in the soil. Temperature swings affect growing plants.
- Protect the roots from winter chill and preventing frost heaving.
- Help keep plant roots cooler during hot summer.
- Organic mulching materials decompose; therefore, adding nutrition to your garden as it decays.
- Provide a sanctuary for earthworms, which is helpful in tilting and oxygenating your garden soil.
The two types of mulches are organic and inorganic. However, organic mulch is considered as the best material for mulch installation because of its invaluable benefits.
Organic Mulches
We prefer organic materials for mulch installation as they help maintain the natural balance between your garden and nature. Organic mulches are also biodegradable, which will not leach any non-eco-friendly chemicals that may affect plant growth. They rather enhance the nutrient content of any garden soil. Organic mulch is way cheaper, too, than any of its manufactured counterpart. Here are some of the mulching materials that our clients can choose from.- Pine Bark/ Wood Chip. Makes your landscape neat and attractive. It is slow to decay and stays in place. It offers low maintenance during winter and summer. Wood chips also come with varying colors and textures that will help enhance the aesthetics of your landscape.
- Straw. It is cheaper and easy to apply and adds a natural accent for ornamental gardens.
- Pine Needles. Well suited for your garden beds. It allows water to drench in easily, and it also decays in a slower phase.
The best mulching materials to use depend on your landscape’s topography and other installed elements in the yard. It is also wise to consider your contractor’s available resources, experience, and expertise when it comes to handling any mulch installation projects.
