What’s the Best Way to Mulch Commercial Landscaping?
Mulch is useful for protecting roots, plants and soil during the winter months. One good idea for investing in commercial property landscaping is to use mulch to protect the investment during winter. It must be installed correctly to be effective. These best practices should guide you during winter mulching.
Apply the Right Amount: Make sure to look for 2 to 4 inches of mulch. Too much mulch can suffocate plants and too little protects against damage.
Choose the Right Mulch: For best results, use organic mulches like shredded bark, wood chips, or pine needles. These mulches decay on the ground, enriching soil and generating lasting benefits.
Keep Mulch Away from Plant Stems and Tree Trunks: Mulch should be spread evenly across plants but a few inches away from plant stems and tree trunks to prevent water buildup and rot.
Refresh Mulch Annually: If the mulch has broken down in recent years and a fresh layer can be added in the fall, add a layer in the fall to help protect it during winter.
