Applying mulch to different areas of a landscape is a great way to keep the ground protected.

With over 15 years of managing similar projects throughout Northwest Ohio, we have what it takes to provide our clients with high-grade solutions.

What Is Mulch?

Mulch is the organic or inorganic material spread over & near the base of plantings and on lawns. Organic mulch could be made from tree bark, wooden chips, pine straw, etc. Inorganic mulch is made of stones, gravel or aggregates, and rubber. There is a distinct advantage to using organic mulch; it breaks down over time and makes the soil nutrient-rich.

But since it decomposes over time, you would need to replace it frequently, which isn’t the case with inorganic mulch. We can provide you information about the different types of mulches. These products also come in different colors, depending on the material used. When we are providing recommendations, we also focus on the aesthetics and suggest mulch that will create a great visual impact.

Benefits of Mulching

There are several benefits to mulching, such as:

It protects the topsoil from direct exposure to the elements
Helps retain moisture in the soil
Deters weed growth
Organic mulches help increase the nutrient content in the soil
Help maintain a moderate ground temperature
Prevents soil erosion
Adds an attractive look to the landscape

As you can see, there are several benefits to it, and we offer excellent residential and commercial mulching services to clients throughout Northern Ohio.

The Mulching Process

We adopt a very systematic approach to mulch applications:

When applying landscape mulches, we put a 2-4” layer of it close to grass & plant roots.
We suggest the use of organic mulches and source these from certified nurseries
The right amounts of mulch are used in the job. Using excessive amounts will suffocate the roots.
We ensure that the mulches are spread a distance away from the tree trunks.
Organic mulches are very good for lawns and gardens and lawns, and we carry out these applications expertly.

As mentioned earlier, you can choose from mulches of different colors to add beauty and texture to your landscape. We always tailor our solutions and ensure that you are 100% satisfied with the services we provide. The mulches add to the beauty and curb appeal of your property.
