Are your flower beds just not catching your eye like they used to? Are your plants looking dried out and scorched? Do you have exposed dirt around your home?
In any yard and landscape, mulch plays a few very important roles. First of all, it protects plants’ roots from the extreme heat that scorches Decatur and the south in the summer, keeping them nice and cool. Mulch plays a large factor in keeping the moisture in during those hot summer months as well. This can play a big part in the long term health of your plants.
Mulch
In case you chose an organic mulch, it will decompose and fertilize the soil. This helps all plant life around the mulch as nutrients are distributed throughout the root systems. This nourishment of the soil helps plants fend off those pesky weeds that tend to pop up everywhere. While mulch plays a large part in the health and wellness of the plant life in your yard, it also plays a large role in the aesthetics as well. A properly done mulch installation will help make those flower beds pop with color. Mulch adds a great natural contrast to the greenery surrounding it, bringing out the best in your landscape.
Weeding
Weeds seem to grow just about anywhere and in large quantities as well. No need to worry because our team will get those weeds cleared out for you in no time! We prefer not to use harsh chemicals when treating a weed infestation and resort to more natural based solutions.
Types of Mulch
Many people are unaware, but there are quite a few different types of mulch. The word “mulch” does not only refer to tree bark that most people associate it with. Mulch means anything that can cover an area of ground and be spread out. This means everything from gravel to rubber is considered mulch. At Decatur Lawn Pro we offer a range of different types of mulch such as rock, rubber, and your classic tree bark mulch. This allows us to cater to a wide range of customer’s needs.
Other Uses for Mulch
While mulch is mainly for flower beds and giving your plants a nice place to grow, it has other uses as well. For example, many of our clients use mulch to place around the base of their home to keep mud from splashing up onto the side of their home. This keeps those nasty Georgia red clay stains off of your siding. Another major use for rock mulch is to fill in those areas where grass won’t grow and there is too much shade for plants to thrive. Making this type of area into a rock garden is a great way to make the best use of the space in your yard.
