Enrich Your Landscape With Mulching
With just one simple technique, your landscape can be surprisingly enriched!
Mulch helps maintain soil moisture for lush growth; it suppresses weeds so that less maintenance is required from you; and its protective layer also regulates temperature and prevents erosion―all this without sacrificing aesthetic value.
We can help with mulching, so you can enjoy its many benefits, including:
- Root protection
- Soil moisture retention
- Soil insulation
- Reduced watering
- Weed growth suppression
- Enhanced aesthetics
- Polished landscape look
- Reduces soil erosion
- Plant protection
What Is Mulching?
Mulching is placing a material layer over the surface of the soil to help promote healthy plant growth and protect against harmful elements.
Organic mulches, such as grass clippings, straws, or wood chips, are made from natural materials that break down over time and provide added nutrients to the soil.
Inorganic mulches, such as rocks or plastic, do not break down and do not provide any added nutrients to the soil.
Mulching is an essential aspect of landscaping because it helps to regulate soil temperatures, retains soil moisture, and suppresses weed growth. It can also help prevent soil compaction by reducing the impact of heavy rain and foot traffic.
There are several different types of mulch available, each with its own set of advantages.
- Organic mulches are typically more beneficial for the soil, as they break down over time and add nutrients to the soil.
- Grass clippings can be an excellent mulch for vegetable gardens, as they break down quickly and provide added nitrogen to the soil.
- Wood mulch, such as wood chips or bark, is a popular choice for landscaping, as it is attractive and long-lasting.
- Straw mulch is another organic option, which is commonly used to cover newly seeded lawns to help protect the soil and retain moisture.
- Inorganic mulches, such as rocks or plastic, are long-lasting and require less maintenance than organic mulches.

The Benefits of Mulching
Mulching provides numerous benefits for both the health and appearance of your landscape. Some of the key benefits of mulching include:
- Water Conservation
- Soil Insulation
It also helps regulate soil temperature, keeping the soil cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This can help protect plants from extreme temperature fluctuations and promote healthy root growth.
- Weed Control
Mulch helps suppress weed growth by blocking sunlight and preventing weed seeds from germinating. This can help to reduce the need for herbicides and manual weed removal, saving time and effort.

When To Mulch
The best time of year to mulch your landscape depends on your location, climate, and the specific needs of your plants.
In general, however, it is best to mulch in the spring and fall when the soil is moist and temperatures are moderate. This helps ensure that the mulch can retain moisture and regulate soil temperature during the hot and cold summer months.
The frequency of mulching depends on the type of mulch you are using and the specific needs of your plants.
Organic mulches
Organic mulches, such as wood chips or bark, break down over time and need to be replenished periodically, usually every one to two years.
Inorganic mulches
In addition to the type of mulch you are using, the frequency of mulching can also depend on factors such as weather conditions, plant growth, and soil type.
If you notice that your soil is drying out quickly or your plants are not growing as well as they should be, it may be time to add more mulch to help retain moisture and promote healthy growth.

Mulching FAQs
Organic mulch is made from natural materials that decompose over time, such as bark, wood chips, pine needles, and grass clippings. Inorganic mulch, on the other hand, is made from non-decomposing materials, such as rocks, gravel, or plastic.

Jonathon and his crew were excellent. They are experienced, professional and reasonably priced. They started on time and finished on time.
They did design, demolition and installation of both hardscape and sod at our property as well as install a new fence around it.
They also repaired an old sprinkler system with new equipment.
Jonathon is friendly and approachable and worked with us to adjust our budget during the process. We highly recommend!

It was great working with Jon, Flavia, and the team. Jon provided a reasonably priced quote, made some recommendations, and completed the project in a timely manner. I look forward to working with Land Designs by Colton again in the near future.

Jon has been terrific to work with. He listened to my concerns and vision for my landscaping. From there, he was able to propose options.
He has always delivered as promised. I didn’t need to worry about his professionalism or punctuality. What I wanted and agreed to, he did.
He’s a terrific person to talk to and sound off ideas. Also, he is not “pushy”, more pragmatic and helpful. As a small business owner myself, I understand that your integrity and reputation is paramount. Lands Designs by Colton has achieved that and I would recommend him to anyone I know, and I have!
