Best Type of Mulch for Gardens
Mulch is mostly made of organic materials. Fresh mulch offers the dual advantage of enhancing your yard and plants’ looks and adding nutrients to the soil. Our experienced landscapers handle all sizes of mulch jobs and deliver the best quality of most types and colors. Some of the most common mulch types we work with include:- Shredded cedar or hardwoods

Recycled plant material comprising leaves, spent plants, twigs, bark, buds, and other plant debris is considered among the best mulch. It is reminiscent of the natural mulch that forests have.
It is important to choose quality mulch because how it breaks down will affect the condition of the soil. Heavily treated wood chips are not recommended. Similarly, too finely ground or too small mulch may not be perfect. Even when they are effective in enriching the soil with nutrients, they may break down too fast. This can allow weed to grow and the mulch will not hold moisture for long. We help you make the right choice depending on your landscape’s short-term and long-term needs.
