Mulch is one of the most effective and eco-friendly tools in professional landscaping. While it adds beauty to your yard, it also provides crucial benefits for soil and plant health.

In this post, we’ll explain what mulch is, why it’s important, and how Edwin’s Landscaping LLC can help apply it properly in your outdoor space.

🌱 What Is Mulch?

Mulch is a layer of organic or inorganic material spread over the soil around plants, trees, or garden beds to protect and enrich the soil.

Common types of mulch include:

• Bark mulch (pine, cypress, cedar)
• Colored mulch (black, brown, red)
• Natural wood mulch
• Leaf compost or shredded leaves

✅ Benefits of Mulching

Moisture retention 💧
Mulch reduces evaporation, requiring less frequent watering.

Weed suppression 🚫🌿
It blocks sunlight, limiting weed growth.

Temperature regulation 🌡️
Keeps roots cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Soil improvement 🌾
Organic mulch breaks down and enriches the soil with nutrients.

Erosion control 🌧️
Helps keep soil in place, especially on slopes.

Curb appeal 🏡
Mulched beds look neat, clean, and well-maintained.

🧑‍🌾 Best Time to Apply Mulch

The ideal time for mulching is spring (to prep your garden) or fall (to protect during winter), but mulch can be applied anytime your soil needs it.
