Mulching

In addition to improving the looks of your property, mulching is one of the best ways to protect and improve the health of your trees and shrubs. Applied properly, mulch benefits both plants and soil in the following ways:

• It helps to retain soil moisture.

• It reduces weed growth.

• It maintains a more even soil temperature throughout the year.

• It helps to prevent soil erosion.

• It prevents crusting of soil surfaces to improve water absorption.

• It protects tree and shrub trunks from lawn equipment damage.

• It encourages the expansion of root systems.

That's a lot of benefits! But to make sure mulch is able to do its job, it's important to apply it correctly. At Hedge To Edge, we're careful not to pile mulch up against trunks and stems, and we apply it at least 6" to 12" beyond the drip line of the tree or shrub. We also ensure that the finished mulch bed is no more than 4" deep.
