COMMON
QUESTIONS
Why should I install mulch?
Mulch of any type or colour can be installed to help control water retention and act as a buffer from the heat of the summer or the cold of winter. It also can help with soil and root compaction issues as well.
To what depth should mulch be applied?
It is recommended that 2 to 3" of coverage should be installed in order to achieve the desired look and intended purpose of the overall installation for weed and moisture control. Mulching too thin will result in inadequate protection for your plants and allow weed growth.
When should mulch be applied?
Mulching your garden can be done at any time throughout the year however the ideal time to install mulch is mid-spring. By this time, the soil has warmed and plants are visible.
How long does mulch typically last?
Mulch typically lasts 3 to 5 years under the proper conditions. Mulch can also be topped up and refreshed as often as you like. Most common colors are available year over year which enables you to expand or add new garden beds with matching results.
