WHY MULCH?
Proper mulching is a simple way to keep your trees healthy and to give your yard a well-cared for look. There are many benefits to mulching including helping trees retain water during dry months, suppressing weeds, and adding nutrients to the.
Arborist wood chips are the gold standard for mulching trees and shrubs. Arborist wood chips are ground up when older trees are pruned or removed. They include both green (leaves) parts and brown (woody) parts. They are not uniform in size, with some large and some small pieces. The mix of green and brown is a great combination, as the green will break down quickly to add nutrients to the soil immediately, leaving behind the brown woody parts which will break down more slowly over 1-3 years.
Studies have shown that arborist wood chips outperform other landscape mulches, including beauty bark, in moisture retention, temperature moderation, and weed control. Arborist wood chips have also been found to be the most effective mulch for enhancing plant productivity and keeping urban trees healthy.
