WHY should I use mulch?

Mulch offers several tangible benefits to homeowners and professional landscapers seeking to create gardens and landscapes of striking beauty and vitality. These benefits include weed control, moisture retention during dry conditions, and improving soil structure to prevent soil compaction (often resulting from heavy rains or harsh sun). Mulch also adds a look of refinement and artistry to all landscapes, gardens, and flower beds.

Gardens and landscapes are complex ecosystems. Mulch helps to maintain the vitality of gardens and landscapes in several ways. Mulch enables the soil in gardens and landscapes to retain the levels of oxygen necessary for the growth of healthy root structures in decorative plants, flowers, and shrubs. Mulch also serves to protect the surface roots of trees and shrubbery from injuries caused by string trimmers and lawn mower blades. And if these benefits weren’t enough to convince you to use mulch in your gardens and landscaping, consider that mulch helps to provide shelter to earthworms and other beneficial organisms that serve to aerate the soil in your garden and landscape beds.
