Residential Mulch Placement

Placing mulch around your plants, trees, and garden beds is one of the easiest ways to give your landscaping a boost. Not only does mulch look great, but it also provides a ton of benefits. It helps keep the soil moist, reduces the chances of weeds popping up, and keeps the soil temperature just right for healthy plant growth.

When you’re laying down mulch, aim for a nice, even layer that’s about 2 to 4 inches thick. Make sure it’s spread out around your plants or along garden beds—just be careful not to pile it up right against the stems or trunks of trees and plants. Mulch that’s too close to the base can cause rot or attract pests.

Also, keep in mind that mulch isn’t a “one-and-done” deal. Over time, it’ll break down and lose its effectiveness, so it’s a good idea to refresh it each year to keep your garden looking its best. With the right mulch and a little care, your landscaping will stay healthy, clean, and beautiful year-round!
