Unearthing Mulching FAQs

Mulch is a vital part of gardening and landscaping. It’s a protective layer spread over the soil to retain moisture, prevent weed growth, and maintain soil health. Mulching can transform your garden from good to great, but many folks managing community landscapes often have questions about it. 

This blog aims to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about mulching, specifically focusing on mulching services and finding a reliable mulch supplier.

Decoding the Mulching Mysteries

Should You Mulch Under Your Trees?

Yes! Mulch helps conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, which benefits tree roots. However, ensure not to pile it up against the tree trunk – this can cause rot and invite pests.

What Is Used To Dye Red And Black Mulches?

Aesthetics! Most colored mulches are dyed using vegetable-based dyes, which are safe for plants and the environment. Red mulch is dyed with iron oxide, while black mulch uses carbon.

Is It Better To Buy Mulch By The Bag Or Bulk? 

This depends on your needs. Buying bulk from a mulch supplier could save you money if you’re handling a large landscaping project. However, bagged mulch might be more convenient for smaller projects.

How Much Is A Yard Of Mulch?

The cost varies based on type and quality. However, you’ll usually find that a yard of mulch costs between $20 to $60. As always, contact a reliable mulch supplier for a tailored quotation..

Do I need to remove old mulch before adding new?

Yes, removing old mulch before adding a new layer is recommended. This allows air and water to reach the soil and prevents excess build-up, which can suffocate plants.
