  • Reduces compaction from the impact of heavy rains

  • Conserves moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering

  • Maintains a more even soil temperature

  • Prevents weed growth

In the Landscape, Mulch application provides a "finished '' look to the project. Best mulch to use is organic bark mulch. The more natural the ingredients in the mulch the better it is for the plant materials living in that garden. Lots and lots of comments on the shopping plaza mulch looking most colorful throughout the season. Our experience has it that the more colorful the mulch, the more harm it does to the plants.

Creating and Maintaining a defined edge is a design feature that should be determined as part of the bed design and maintatind yearly.

Next time you see colorful bright mulch, look closely at the plants and see if they look healthy. The correct landscape design has plant materials, color and texture as part of the mainstream of the design. No intentions on a colorful bed design. Use bark or organic mulches to improve the condition of the soil. As these mulches slowly decompose, they provide organic matter which helps keep the soil well oxygenated. This has beneficial factors for the soil condition and plant materials including:

  • Improved root growth

  • Ease of infiltration of water

  • Greater moisture holding capacity

  • Less compaction of the soils
