Towards the beginning of the growing season mulches serve initially to warm the soil by helping it retain heat which is lost during the night. This allows early seeding and transplanting of certain crops, and encourages faster growth. As the season progresses, mulch stabilizes the soil temperature and moisture, and prevents the growing of weeds from seeds. In temperate climates, the effect of mulch is dependent upon the time of year they are applied and when applied in fall and winter, are used to delay the growth of perennial plants in the spring or prevent growth in winter during warm spells, which limits freeze thaw damage.


Pros of Installing Mulch:

  • Installing mulch is one of the best things you can do for the health of trees and shrubs. When placed on the soil surface, mulch improves the soil, minimizes weeds, regulates temperature, prevents erosion and adjusts the amount of moisture available to roots. Plus, it adds a tailored look to your property, giving your lawn a groomed, finished look.
  • Think about trees in their natural forest environment. The soil has a blanket of leaves and other organic stuff, which is decomposing, providing the soil with a constant source of nutrients. This top blanket prevents the soil from compacting, so it remains properly aerated.
  • Mulch actually improves the soil! As mulch decomposes it adds humus and micro-nutrients to the soil. Additionally, studies have shown that the tree roots below mulch tend to have very high mycorrhiza colonies. In fact, after several years, your trees may no longer need soil injections of mycorrhiza (a beneficial fungus which occurs naturally in a forest setting, but is normally missing in urban forest settings). The presence of mycorrhiza dramatically increases root efficiency.
    Mulch encourages the presence of earthworms which improve soil structure and add nutrients.But possibly the best reason for mulching your landscape beds is it looks terrific!
