Mulching Tips & Best Practices

📏

Recommended Depth

Apply 2-4 inches of mulch for best results. Too much can suffocate plant roots.

🌳

Keep Away from Trunks

Leave a 3-6 inch gap around tree trunks to prevent rot and pest issues.

🍂

Refresh Annually

Top up mulch each spring as it decomposes, adding nutrients to your soil.

💧

Water First

Water the area thoroughly before mulching to lock in moisture.

🌿

Weed Control

Remove weeds and lay landscape fabric before mulching for best suppression.

📦

Bulk vs Bags

Bulk is cheaper for large projects (3+ cubic yards). Bags are easier for small areas.
