Mulch Does More than Make Your Landscape Pretty
Maynor Chavez, CM Landscaping Services owner, says that many people think only about aesthetics when adding mulch to their landcape. Like which color will look best in their yard. But Maynor says, “Mulch actually serves more functions when it comes to maintaining a beautiful outdoor area.” And this post explains.
What Mulch Does
Mulch helps conserve and extend available water. And it protects soil from erosion. It also suppresses weeds, by reducing competition. And it protects your soil from temperature extremes, which can cause damage.
In practical terms, mulch serves as a visible barrier, or marker, to your garden areas. Which helps lawn care professionals from damaging your garden with landscape equipment.
Finally, mulch improves your soil’s health. Because it breaks down over time, releasing nutrients into your soil.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Mulch Color
Maynor says that black or dark mulch is a popular mulch color in the Andovers. This mulch is a shredded or screened mulch that is dyed with a non-toxic black colorant. Which creates a bold contrast in landscapes. Meaning that the dark color typically blends naturally into the landscape, allowing vibrant flowers to “pop” and the house to stand out more.

As for natural or premium hemlock mulch, Maynor says it is highly acidic. Having a unique, natural odor that helps deter bugs from making a home in your garden.

Maynor continued that red cedar mulch is known for its pleasant aroma. And its natural insect-repelling properties, which can help keep certain pests away from your plant and your home.
