Mulching is a common practice in landscaping that involves spreading a layer of organic or inorganic material over the soil surface around trees, shrubs, and plants. The main purpose of mulching is to improve the health and appearance of plants by retaining moisture, suppressing weeds, regulating soil temperature, and adding organic matter to the soil.

Mulching services are typically provided by professional landscapers who have the expertise and equipment necessary to apply mulch effectively and efficiently. The type of mulch used depends on the specific needs of the landscape and the preferences of the property owner. Organic mulches, such as bark, wood chips, straw, or leaves, are the most commonly used and provide a range of benefits to the soil and plants.

One of the primary benefits of mulching is moisture retention. By covering the soil surface with a layer of mulch, water is prevented from evaporating, reducing the need for frequent watering and conserving water resources. Additionally, mulch helps regulate soil temperature, keeping the soil cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which promotes healthy plant growth.
