Mulching is one of the most important ways to protect and maintain healthy landscaped plants, shrubs and flowers. Some of the uses for mulch are:

• it prevents weeds from coming through

• organic mulches add to the nutrient base of the soil making the soil richer

• helps to hold water and moisture in your plants and gardens, therefore you don’t have to water as much

• helps the roots maintain an even temperature

• protects your soil from erosion

• adds to the aesthetic appeal of your landscape by making it look more finished
