Mulching

Mulching

Mulching is very important to improve the condition of the soil. Mulches are often used in the garden to improve the health of plants and trees. Mulch helps retain moisture in the soil, increases the nutrients found in the soil and helps in preventing unwanted weed growth. It has to be suitably applied according to the nature and condition of the plant.

Style Scapes uses a variety of quality Mulches. The mulch selection will depend on the style we aim to create. Mulch is very important to the health of your garden. We also give you the option of installing a high-quality water penetrable mulch mat which helps guard against some weeds.

Over time as the mulch breaks down, it should be replenished and we advise that mulching be added to your programmed maintenance items. The frequency of this will depend on the variety of mulch used.

Wood Mulch:

Wood mulch is made from wood chips, which is easily available and also easy to make. It also decays at different rates, creating a diverse environment for soil organisms. It performs well in the garden. In addition to that, another factor to be considered is the longevity of the mulch. Usually, the mulches made from other wood chips are not so harmful but sometimes wood chips of black walnut trees can be harmful to sensitive plants. That’s why it is better not to make mulch from black walnut. Help your garden and plants by providing either chipped wood or bark mulch and maintain the environment.
