What are the Benefits of Mulching?
Many people think that mulching is just a method for controlling weeds, but it’s actually one of the best ways to achieve an attractive and damage-resistant lawn. A few of the benefits of mulching include:
• Mulching retains soil moisture in hot Texas lawns.
• Mulching prevents erosion in the soil.
• Mulching minimizes compaction from rain.

If you just have soil, you will see all the water run-off and an increase of weeds! Also, you will need to water your plants much more frequently as you lack the protective barrier which significantly retains more water in the soil.
We use a double ground (not big and chunky) hardwood tree bark. Not ground-up wood. Because of this, it contains a great deal more nutrition for your plants. As it decomposes it greatly improves the soil in your flower beds and or gardens!
Bed Mulching helps conserve water which has a great environmental impact!
By mulching your landscape, you use less water on your plants. This contributes to reducing loads of water that American’s use on lawns. How does mulch conserve water? Mulching cools the soil and, as a result, the roots remain cool year-round. Cooler roots have a higher tolerance to the drought of summer and the frosts of winter. Additionally, cooler soil means less watering since the water does not evaporate as quickly within cool soil. In return, there is less need for water as the ground is able to hold onto water for longer!
