But it can also be made from non-organic materials like rock, stone, geo-textile fabrics, and pulverized rubber. When applied properly, mulch allows soil to retain sufficient levels of moisture. This not only improves the condition of the soil, but it does also so much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Visible Benefits of Tree Mulching:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">\u2611 Promotes overall tree health<br>\u2611 Controls weed growth<br>\u2611 Insulates soil<br>\u2611 Protects tree roots from extreme temperatures<br>\u2611 Prevents certain plant diseases<br>\u2611 Improves soil aeration and drainage<br>\u2611 Gives landscaping a well-groomed look<br>\u2611 Mulch decomposition improves soil fertility<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Best Times of Year to Mulch Your Trees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trees should be mulched at the start of spring, after the ground has thawed from a frozen state. Trees should also be mulched at the start of winter before the ground freezes through. Mulching is an important part of the tree care process, so be sure to stay current on your program. You can choose from a wide selection of mulches, ranging in color, texture, shape, and more.
