Think of mulch as the finishing touch to a perfectly maintained yard. It serves both an aesthetic and functional purpose with regards to landscaping and lawn health. It is a beautiful way to hide any unsightly ground, fill in open or vacant space, as well as accent the existing lawn features. Mulch comes in many different colors that be used to complement the colors of your lawn and exterior. Brown or reddish tones offer an earthy feel, while its lighter counterpart can brighten and highlight areas of your property. Mulch can take an average exterior and make it extraordinary.
Mulch Landscaping has Functional Purpose as Well!
Mulch is more than just fashion for your lawn, it has a practical function as well! So it looks amazing and helps your greenery grow and prosper, what more could you ask for? Mulch is widely used by property owners because it promotes plant growth and health. But how?
Water Retention
When you mulch your garden and lawn, you are providing a permeable layer over the soil. This allows for healthy circulation while stopping water from evaporating from the soil. This means that plants need to be watered less and the soil is protected from powerful UV rays.
Weed Prevention
Weeds grow in warm, sunlit environments. By mulching your garden or green space, you can effectively prevent weeds from growing among delicate plants by keeping the soil damp and sheltered.
Soil Insulation
Mulch acts as a temperature resistant barrier to harsh weather and environments. It can keep the layers underneath colder during hot sunny days, as well as providing a blanket of warmth during the colder winter months.
