How Often Should You Mulch?
You should have Royal Turf Landscape & Irrigation install mulch in your landscaping beds every one to three years depending on the needs of your specific landscaping site and your budget.
Different Types Of Mulch
There are several options for mulch. The most common types of mulch are Fertimulch and Bark.
- Fertimulch is darker, has finer particles, and gives your soil nutrients as it decomposes.
- Bark is a much larger and lighter red or brown particle and is typically less expensive. It also controls weeds a little better than Fertimulch.
Mulching your landscaping beds on a regular basis will provide the single most noticeable difference in the way your landscaping looks. Do you need your landscaping mulched? Give us a call today.
