Mulch is a top layer of material that is used to add color, variety and a protective barrier to soil. Mulching is when a layer of materials such as synthetic coverings, wood chips or compost is added over the soil surface in landscaping and garden beds. Mulching serves several key purposes such as:

  • Helping retain moisture in the soil
  • Helping suppress the growth of weeds
  • Helping regulate the temperature of soil
  • Improve the health of the soil by adding organic matter
  • Enhancing the aesthetic of a landscape

More About Mulching Materials:

  1. Bark and Wood Chips

Bark and wood chips are the most common materials used in mulch. They are relatively inexpensive and look decorative. They also come in a variety of colors. At times, they can be dyed to make the customer’s vision a reality. Bark and wood chips also resemble what you would see in nature for a more natural look.

  1. Rubber Mulch

Rubber mulch is made from recycled tires. Rubber mulch is commonly used around children’s outdoor play areas and equipment as the material is soft and made of cushiony material. It is important to keep in mind that rubber may contain toxins, so you do not want to use rubber mulch in garden beds or in your soil.

  1. Gravel, Pebbles, Stone Chippings, etc.

This type of mulch can work as a soil insulator, keeping the soil underneath it warm. The main con of this material is its high initial cost; however, you will not need to replace this material often, saving you money in the long run.

  1. Garden Compost

Composted garden products, food waste and manure make for excellent soil mulch while giving your soil the nutrients it needs to thrive.

  1. Straw

Straw is a great material for newly seeded lawns and vegetable gardens. It provides a great home for spiders which helps control unwanted pests. It also helps prevent plant diseases that originate in soil.
