Mulching

At Guilford Landscaping, we take pride in doing what's best for your lawn, and mulching is one of those things. We not only can install the mulch for you, but we can purchase it, deliver it, and maintain it regularly. This is entirely necessary for keeping your plants healthy and your lawn looking it's best.

Why is Mulching Necessary?

1. Moisture Retention

Mulch acts as a protective barrier, reducing water evaporation from the soil surface. This helps your plants and trees retain moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering.

2. Weed Suppression

Mulch helps prevent the growth of weeds by blocking sunlight and hindering weed seed germination. This reduces the competition for nutrients and allows your desired plants to flourish.

3. Soil Health Improvement

As mulch breaks down over time, it enriches the soil by adding organic matter. This enhances soil fertility and structure, promoting healthier root development.

4. Temperature Regulation

Mulch acts as an insulator, moderating soil temperature fluctuations. It keeps the soil cooler in hot weather and warmer during colder periods, creating a more favorable environment for plant growth.
