A beautiful and well maintained residential landscape and garden in Central Florida starts with mulch. Aesthetically pleasing and improves the appearance of your home. Mulch of all sizes and colors enhance your flowering plants, trees, shrubs, and vegetable.
Both bark mulch and stones discourage weeds from growing, helps keep the soil at a consistent temperature, and prevent erosion.
Other ways mulch is beneficial to your landscape include:
Sculptured Garden Beds
For those garden beds bordering your home, a focal point in your yard, and around trees, mulch is a great way to keep the soil from drying out too much. Retaining moisture and keeping the soil cool during the heat of our summer can make all the difference.
It just takes a 3 inch layer of mulch applied on top of the soil to take advantage of the benefits. Mulch allows the irrigation water and that from the torrential afternoon downpours to drain through the mulch and feed the roots underground.
Raised Garden Beds
Raised garden beds have become very popular, they are fairly easy to assemble and take care of. Because the soil conditions here in Central Florida isn’t always the best for raising vegetables or flowers. The benefits of a mulched raised garden bed include,
Improve soil conditions
Higher Yields
Enhanced Accessibility
Decreased maintenance
Water conservation
Mulched Landscapes
Mulch is a great way to add usable space to your backyard. It can be sued to create a play and barbecue areas, patios, and garden paths. Clearing out an area of the yard, lay down landscape fabric, then add a good layer of mulch. A perfect area for a table and chairs or a play area for the children.
Not All Mulch Is The Same
The biggest stumbling block for many homeowners is purchasing their mulch from an unreliable source. Which can be plagued with toxic materials and noxious weed seeds. It is worth the effort to look for healthy mulch.
