You may not realize it, but mulch, either pine bark or stones/rocks, does so much more than have increase aesthetics in Central Florida. The convenience of having your mulch or stones delivered to your Central Florida home is by far a primary benefit.
Taking care of your landscape or garden can be time consuming by itself, the last thing you want is to spend the time driving to the store and loading those heavy bags of mulch into your car and then unloading them and carrying them to your garden.
Having your mulch delivered means your mulch is dropped off when and where you need it.
You won’t have the inconvenience of loading the mulch, transporting, and unloading all the bags of mulch. Then it’s time to apply the mulch, cut all the bags open and then throwing them all away.
Impact of Mulches on Landscape Plants and the Environment — A Review by Linda Chalker-Scott, Washington State University, Puyallup Research and Extension Center
Mulches provide aesthetic, economic and environmental benefits to urban landscapes. Mulching is especially useful in the establishment of trees in landscapes that receive minimal care, such as restoration sites. In general, mulches improve soil health, creating healthy populations of plants and associated animals. These biodiverse, stable landscapes are more resistant to stress, are more aesthetically pleasing, require fewer applications of pesticides and fertilizers, and are ultimately more sustainable than those without mulch cover. All mulches are not created equally
Maintenance of optimal soil temperatures. Mulches protect soils from extreme temperatures in that soils can be kept cooler in hot conditions and warmer in cold conditions. Temperature extremes will kill fine roots and while rarely killing established plantings, they can induce a chronic stress as the plant expends energy to generate new fine roots. Thicker applications of organic mulches are more temperature moderating than thin applications. Once again, coarse mulches are better in this regard as thick layers of finely textured mulches can inhibit both water and gas transfer.
