Mulch Installation and Cultivation

The function of mulch is deceptively simple: prevent weeds from receiving sunlight and water. To do so, you just need to lay a thick layer of material on top of your soil. This will prevent them from growing and harming other plants that you’ve planted. It’s a far more efficient method than constantly pulling weeds.

Mulch comes in a variety of types, both organic and inorganic, which include:

• Chips
• Stones
• Back chips
• Plastic
• Grass clippings
• Straw
• Cocoa shells

More than just killing and preventing weeds, mulch offers additional benefits for commercial property managers. These advantages include:

• Helping to regulate soil temperature
• Preventing erosion
• Increasing the nutrients in the soil
• Minimizing soil compaction
• Maintaining an even appearance across your property
• Conserving wetness and saving water

Our landscapers can help you determine which type of mulch is best for your property depending on your needs and style preferences. Different mulches offer different benefits. The timing of laying down mulch is also important, as mulching too late or too soon can prevent soil from retaining warmth, which can be damaging to your landscape.
