Mulch Installation Benefits

Mulch not only keeps your plants healthy but also can add to the aesthetics of your landscaping. Mulch on your soil acts as a protective barrier keeping weeds at bay and preventing soil from washing away in the rain. Below are the top benefits that will make you want to contact Ware Landscaping immediately for mulch delivery and installation:

• Controls weeds – Mulch can act as a filler in the open spaces around your property and limit weeds from receiving direct sunlight necessary to grow.
• Minimizes soil erosion – Mulch traps water in the soil and prevents the rain from washing soil away. Your landscaping will keep its shape and stay perfectly in place.
• Retains moisture – Organic and non-organic mulch can retain moisture and slow evaporation. Organic options also absorb water well. This means your flowers can thrive, especially during droughts and the hot summer months.
• Costs less – Installing mulch is an inexpensive way to improve your property’s curb appeal.
• Controls pests – Specific kinds of mulch can deter insects and other pests from taking over your landscaped areas. For example, cedar bark contains natural oils that can repel insects, so your garden doesn’t seem so inviting.
• Maintains nutrients – As organic mulch decomposes into the soil, it releases nutrients your plants need to flourish.
• Polished property – Adding mulch to any part of your property can fill in empty spaces and complete the look of landscaped areas.
• Creates a barrier – It can separate your garden from the rest of your lawn by acting as a barrier. You could place stone pavers or brick along the edge to further distinguish your landscaping from other parts of the property.

Whatever the reason for choosing to add mulch to your backyard or commercial property, you will see why it’s a popular choice for many people. Its many benefits and attractive appearance can transform your landscaping into the manicured, well-maintained space you’ve always wanted.

Types of Mulch

There are two basic types of mulch to choose from: organic and inorganic. Which option you choose depends on your specific needs. Organic mulches contain natural materials, such as straw, chopped leaves, compost, shredded bark, sawdust, grass clippings, or pine needles. Inorganic mulches are made from geotextiles and black plastic.

Both can keep weeds away from your garden, but only organic types will nourish the soil while decomposing. On the other hand, inorganic mulches can warm the soil and radiate heat to keep vegetables healthy.

Organic Mulch

• Wood chips, nuggets, or bark – Aged and dried paper and lumber byproducts. Hardwood is perfect around shrubs, trees, and perennial beds. Softwood is also a good choice to use around shrubs and large trees.
• Straw – Barley, wheat, or oat straw is an ideal choice for a newly planted lawn. The mulch will prevent the seeds from washing away in the rain and deter rodents and birds that want to eat them. It also provides a crisp, clean look while maintaining moisture in the soil.
• Shredded leaves or grass clippings – This type of mulch will add essential nutrients the soil needs during decomposition. It’s also useful in controlling weeds and preserving moisture. They look great in flowerbeds and vegetable gardens.
• Compost – Composted animal manure works well to enrich the soil. Combining it with another organic mulch can keep it moist and maintain the health of your flowers or vegetables.

Inorganic Mulch

• Rock – Crushed gravel, lava rock, or marble chips don’t break down, making this a popular mulch choice to use in walkways and paths through a garden. This mulch is also perfect for someone on a budget. It only requires a one-time installation, and maintenance is a breeze.
• Plastic – Black plastic absorbs heat from the sun and transfers it to the soil underneath. It can protect crops from rotting and prevents weeds from growing. It’s also great at retaining moisture in the soil.
• Landscape fabrics – Also called geotextiles, are perfect for a long-lasting mulch that can keep weeds away and allow water and air to permeate to the soil.
