BENEFITS

Why mulch matters.

Mulch isn’t just decoration. A proper layer of natural wood chips around your trees does six things at once.

/ 01

Reduces evaporation

Mulch holds moisture in the soil, protecting roots from drought stress.

/ 02

Maintains soil temperature

Insulates the root zone — cooler in summer, warmer in winter.

/ 03

Prevents erosion

A consistent layer reduces runoff and surface soil loss in heavy rain.

/ 04

Controls weeds

Smothers seedlings and reduces the weed pressure around tree bases.

/ 05

Enriches the soil

As mulch breaks down, it adds organic matter and nutrients to the root zone.

/ 06

Keeps fruit clean

Around fruit trees, mulch provides a clean surface for fallen fruit.

APPLICATION GUIDE

How to mulch the right way.

Proper mulching technique matters. Done correctly, it protects your trees. Done incorrectly — and we see this all the time — it actively damages them.

  1. 01 Apply 2 to 4 inches A layer 2-4 inches thick is the right depth around most trees. Thinner if you’re in an area with drainage problems.
  2. 02 Extend to the drip line Mulch should extend out to the tree’s drip line — the outer edge of the canopy. That’s where most of the feeder roots are.
  3. 03 Pull mulch back from the trunk Keep mulch pulled back from the trunk to expose the root crown. Mulch volcanoes — piles against the trunk — kill trees.
  4. 04 Refresh by breaking up, not piling When existing mulch is matted but adequate, break it up with a rake instead of adding new material. The roots need air, not more mulch.
WHEN MULCH GOES WRONG

Improper mulching causes real damage.

Done wrong — too thick, piled against the trunk, blocking water — mulch can do more harm than good.

  • Root rot
  • Pest infestation
  • Disease
  • Soil pH issues
  • Water blocking
  • Weed growth

If you’re unsure how much mulch you need or how to apply it, just ask — we’ll walk you through it.
