Importance of Mulching for Healthy Landscaping

Most home and business owners want their lawn and garden to look beautiful for as long as possible. However, they don’t always have the experience, tools, and techniques needed to protect their landscaping from drought, pests and insects, weeds, fungi, and other problems that are common in Colorado. Mulching services are a key element of landscape maintenance services and can protect your landscaping, create the optimal growth environment, and make sure your plants and lawn get the nutrients and water they need to thrive. There are numerous benefits to choosing a professional landscaping company to lay your mulch beds:

Increases Curb Appeal – One of the most significant benefits of laying mulch is the added curb appeal. If you plan on selling your home, mulching is an affordable home improvement project that can create stunning exterior scenery. It’s also enticing for buyers because mulch is a low-maintenance landscaping material.
Insulates the Soil – Your plants must be protected from sudden and extreme temperature changes during the winter and summer. By laying down mulch over your plants during seasonal changes, you can ensure they survive the following year.

Prevents Weeds—Mulch not only helps protect your plants and flowers; it also prevents weed growth. Weeds siphon vital nutrients away from other plants and create a hostile environment for your flowers to grow.
Maintains Moisture—Laying down mulch will keep your plants and flowers healthy. Mulch absorbs and retains moisture. It prevents plants from drowning from excessive rain and stores the moisture, giving plants the nutrients they need during the dry season.

Types of Mulch & Mulching Services

Choosing the right type of mulch and the right mulching services will give your lawn and landscaping the best chance of looking gorgeous, even in extreme weather and temperatures. Our landscaping professionals can help you choose the right mulch for your home or business landscaping needs and create a customized mulch laying service that will protect your landscaping and allow it to thrive and grow. The most common types of mulch are:

Shredded or Chipped Wood – Shredded and chipped wood breaks down slowly, enriching the soil with nutrients. This type of mulch can last for years.
Wood Bark – Wood bark is one of the most common and popular types of mulch for home gardens. It is easy to find, inexpensive, and easy to lay. It decomposes slowly and lasts a long time.
Shredded Leaves – Shredded leaves can improve the aeration and ventilation of the soil while adding nutrients and other benefits. This type of mulch is best for use in vegetable gardens or for trees and shrubs.
Leaf Mold – Leaf mold mulch is created from partially composted leaves that have grown mold. It is not used as often in the United States, but it can enhance the nutrients in the soil.

Grass Clippings – You can use cut grass clippings as mulch in gardens; however, you should let the grass compost for a while before using it in a vegetable garden.
Straw – Straw can provide warmth and insulation for plants during cold snaps. It protects the plants without smothering them and is a popular choice for roses and perennials.
Pine Needles – Pine needle mulch is similar to straw mulch. It offers protection and insulation during cold months.
Mushrooms—If mushrooms are mixed with other mulching materials like hay or straw, they can be composted and used as mulch. They offer nutrition and help the soil retain moisture.

Our Mulch Laying Services

Mulch laying may not be difficult, but it is strenuous and time-consuming. If you don’t have the experience, knowledge, or tools needed to get the job done correctly and efficiently, you may waste time and become frustrated. Our mulch-laying experts can get the job done quickly and correctly with no stress and minimal downtime and inconvenience. Our team has spent years laying mulch for homes and businesses throughout the area. We follow a comprehensive mulch-laying process that ensures exceptional, long-lasting results:

Weed Removal—Whether we’re creating a new mulch bed or tending to an old one, our first step is to remove existing weeds. Our team will eliminate the weeds by digging up the roots, which will prevent them from growing up through the mulch bed.
Edging – We use an edge tool to evenly cut the grass around the mulch bed for a clean and professional look. The edge adds a refined look and will prevent the mulch from mixing with the grass.

Cultivation and Preparation—For existing mulch beds, we will remove the old mulch before applying the new mulch. When creating a fresh mulch bed, our team will use landscaping fabric to stifle weed growth.
Mulch Laying Services – Finally, our team will begin laying the mulch down. We apply an even coat that won’t suffocate your plants or flowers.
