The Benefits of Mulching

Increases moisture retention

A proper layer of mulch will help your plant retain  water and keep them drying out as quickly.  This can decrease watering  amounts.

Decreases weed propagation.

Weeds are not only unattractive, they are harmful to plants.  Mulch helps control the growth and spread of unsightly weeds.

Helps insulate plants, trees and shrubs from temperature changes.

The weather can change rapidly in North Carolina,  especially during season changes.  Mulch helps regulate soil  temperatures, especially during periods of rapid change.  This is most  beneficial during spring because it helps reduce stress on tender  plants.  It helps to keep plant roots cool in hot temperatures and helps  to warm them in colder weather. 

Reduces erosion.

Mulch will help keep your nutrient rich soils in place.

Makes your property more attractive.

A ring of mulch around your trees and shrubs makes  mowing a lot easier. This allows you to mow right up to the edge of the  mulch and eliminate weed eating, also at the same timw you are  protecting surface roots from damage by mowing equipment.

Long term benefits.

Over a period of time it will break down into a dark,  rich looking soil, which will enrich your existing soil and add organics  back into the soil. This will provide a much healthier environment for  your plants. You will need to replenish, not replace, any mulch over a  period of time, and this is based on your personal preference depending  on the appearance you want in your beds. Once you have a 2 to 3-inch  base of mulch, you would then only need to add a thin layer on each  future installation

Will not attract termites.

Bark mulches are not an attractive food source for  termites. Termites prefer large pieces of wood typically 6-inches or  larger. Termites can only live in wet areas. The best preventative steps  to protect your home from termites is make sure water properly drains  away form the foundation and have your home treated annually by a  licensed exterminator.
