Benefits of Getting Fresh Mulch Installed
According to the USDA, "Mulching is one of the simplest and most beneficial practices you can use in the garden." Here are some of the most notable benefits of spreading fresh mulch:
1. Increase Curb Appeal
Fresh mulch instantly improves the looks of your yard, adding vibrant colors and a polished appearance. It creates a neat and well-maintained look that boosts the overall look of your property.
2. Improve Soil Health
Mulch acts as a protective layer, nourishing the soil and promoting its overall health. By providing a barrier against extreme temperatures and erosion, mulch helps maintain soil structure, prevents nutrient leaching, and creates an optimal environment for beneficial microorganisms and plant roots to thrive. This results in long-term soil health and vitality, supporting the growth of healthy plant life.
3. Better Moisture Rentention
Mulch helps to retain moisture in the soil, reducing the need for frequent watering. This is particularly beneficial during hot and dry periods, like summer months, as it helps to keep plants hydrated and healthy while conserving water.
4. Suppress Weed Growth
Mulch acts as a natural barrier, suppressing weed growth by blocking sunlight and inhibiting weed seed germination. This helps to reduce the time and effort spent on weed control, keeping your garden beds looking tidy and weed-free.
Choosing the Right Mulch for Your Yard
Choosing the perfect mulch for your yard depends on various factors, including your aesthetic preferences, maintenance preferences, and specific landscaping goals. Consider the following questions to determine which mulch type best suits your needs:
Aesthetic Appeal
Do you prefer the natural look of organic mulch, or are you drawn to the uniform appearance of colored mulch? Consider the visual impact you want to achieve in your landscape and select a mulch type that complements your property.
Maintenance
Are you looking for a low-maintenance option that requires minimal upkeep, or are you willing to invest in regular maintenance? Inorganic mulches like gravel or rock may require less maintenance, while organic mulches may need periodic replenishment as they decompose.
Plant Needs
Consider the specific needs of your plants when choosing mulch. Some plants may benefit from organic mulches' moisture retention and nutrient enrichment, while others may thrive in dryer conditions offered by stone or gravel mulches.
Budget
Evaluate your budget and consider the cost-effectiveness of different mulch options. While organic mulches may be more affordable upfront, they may require more frequent replacement over time. In contrast, inorganic mulches may have a higher initial cost but offer long-term durability.

FAQs
Why should I get fresh mulch installed?
Mulch adds aesthetic appeal to your landscape and it provides numerous benefits to plant life. It helps retain moisture, preventing plants from drying out. Additionally, it helps prevent weed growth by blocking new weed seeds from reaching the soil. As it breaks down, it also serves as a natural fertilizer for your plants, promoting further growth.
How frequently should I have new mulch installed?
Mulch should typically be refreshed once a year to maintain its benefits for your landscape. A good time to do this is in the spring, as it helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health throughout the growing season. However, if you notice that your mulch is thinning (below 2 to 3 inches), discolored, or breaking down faster due to weather or foot traffic, consider refreshing it more frequently to keep your landscape looking its best.
