Save Time and Money While Improving the Health of Your Soil
There's more to mulch installation than simply throwing some wood chips on the ground and waiting for the change of seasons. Anyone can do that with varying degrees of success—but we're not just anyone.
When you mulch and what mulch material you use will depend upon your soil, your plants, and your desired results. Mulch installation in the spring is common for inhibiting weed growth, but a late fall mulching may be best for you if you have evergreens that need extra moisture throughout the winter. You have your choice of organic mulches, like bark, leaves, and newspaper. Each has its advantages in certain situations.
Leaves and hay are great for vegetable gardens, while grass clippings do a good job at blocking weeds. Newspaper helps trap moisture, while gravel is great for drainage—though you want to be committed to having a layer of rock in that particular space, since it's hard to remove. No matter what you choose, it's important to apply an appropriate amount, as too little won't serve the purpose and too much may stunt plant growth.
When you come to us for mulch installation, we'll ask you about your soil and plants, your aesthetic preferences, and your plans for next season's garden. We'll help you choose the right mulch, and teach you how to install it yourself. Contact us to learn more about mulch installation and when it's right for your Frisco, Texas garden.
The Many Benefits of Mulch
Mulch can certainly make an area look nice, but appearance is only one of many reasons to use it. It offers a lot of benefits for your plants and soil:
- It helps retain moisture, so you spend less time and money watering your plants.
- It blocks weed growth by reducing their access to sunlight, which means your plants don't have to compete for resources—and you don't have to spend time pulling weeds.
- Organic mulch (grass, bark, leaves, etc.) adds nutrients to the soil.
- It protects your root system by insulating the soil.
- It can protect plants from surprise frost damage or too much sunlight.
- It prevents erosion.
- It offers a protective home to the good bugs that help you control the pest population.
- It's a great way to use your leaves and grass clippings rather than throwing them away!
