Benefits of Mulch

Mulching is essential to the survival of your landscape during a drought and will reduce the amount of water that evaporates from your soil, greatly reducing your need to water your plants. Mulch improves the quality of your soil by breaking up clay and allowing better water and air movement through the soil. It is a rich source of nutrients for sandy soil and improves its ability to hold water. Mulch acts as an insulating layer on top of soil, keeping it cooler in the summer (roots like that!). Mulch keeps weeds down and the weeds that grow are much easier to pull.
