Landscaping Mulch

Mulching can contribute to the beauty and continued preservation of your landscape in a host of ways. Mulches conserve soil moisture, inhibit weed growth and reduce soil erosion. It also serves as a natural insulator, keeping soil cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Applying mulch simplifies lawn mowing around trees and shrubs, and minimizes the need for “string” trimming. Mulching also protects trees and surface roots from damage caused by mowing and clipping.

Mulch is made from coarse ground branches and leaves. It should be spread on the ground at a rate of six to twelve inches for best effect. Fresh mulch will deplete nitrogen from the surface of the soil which will reduce unwanted weeds. Once the mulch has decayed, it returns nitrogen which helps build the quality of soil for plants. A large amount of tree debris is processed by West Coast Arborists and used in large scale mulching projects for establishing native plants in open space areas.
