Description

Arbor Enterprises, a full-service landscape company, specializes in residential landscape design and installation. One of the services that the team offers to clients is mulching. Mulch is a layer or covering of material applied directly to the ground. Natural occurrences of mulch are found in deciduous forests where annually thick layers of leaves are deposited on the forest floor. Pine forests drop needles year-round, creating a smooth, cushiony, auburn mat. Benefits of Mulch Boosts curb appeal Mulch improves the beauty of both residential and commercial landscapes. Most property owners think of mulch as an aesthetic enhancement rather than as a soil amendment. The right color and texture of mulch create interest and contrast. A dark mulch can define perimeters and draw attention to a fountain, statue, or bench. Makes the soil fertile and healthy Organic mulch eventually rots and enriches the soil. Earthworms eat the mulch and deposit droppings that fertilize the soil, making it rich with nutrients that plants and shrubs love. Conserves soil moisture Mulch keeps existing moisture in the soil by inhibiting evaporation. Mulch is porous and absorbs moisture from precipitation and irrigation. During an extended dry spell, mulch can prevent moisture from light rain from making its way into the soil. During these dry spells, homeowners are advised to thoroughly water flowerbeds, shrubs, and trees that have been mulched, especially if the mulch layer is thick.
