Benefits of Tree Mulching<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
You may already mulch are trees for the sake of having\npretty landscaping, but you might be surprised to learn that your annual\nmulching routine does more than add value to your property. So if you are\nasking yourself, \u201cDo I really need to mulch my trees?\u201d the answer is, yes<\/em>! Take a look at the most common benefits\nmulch provides our landscaping:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udf33 Promotes overall tree health; When applied improperly, mulch can have negative effects on\na tree\u2019s health. For this reason, proper mulching methods are important, and\nshould be practiced every spring. And since spring is here, it is time to start\nthinking about your seasonal tree care needs, including new mulch! Here are\nsome tips on how to properly mulch a tree:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to mulching your trees, it is recommended to use organic mulch. Although inorganic mulch is tempting since it doesn\u2019t need to be replenished as often, the benefits derived from organic materials and decomposition outweigh the benefits of using inorganic mulch. In fact, most tree care pros prefer to use an organic product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When mulching your trees, keep in mind that using too much\ncan actually be detrimental. Over-mulching can lead to tree stress, excessive\nground moisture, root rot, tree and bark diseases, insect and rodent\ninfestations, tree girdling, reduced air penetration, unbalanced soil pH, and\nmore. To be safe, keep mulch depths between 2 and 4 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure to check the project area for adequate water\ndrainage before applying mulch. If the water drainage is poor, then too much\nmulch may lead to many of the above-mentioned tree problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before applying new mulch over existing mulch, first measure the depth to prevent over-mulching. If the depth is still 2 to 4 inches, do not apply new mulch. Instead, use a rake to release the top matted layers and refresh the look of the mulch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If faded, visit your local gardening store for a spray-on, water-soluble, vegetable-based dye to brighten up the color. Also, be sure to also spread out any piles that may have built-up against the tree trunk. The base of the tree should be exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call Timberland Tree Care at 317-348-0811<\/strong> to schedule your needed Indianapolis tree services<\/a> for your residential or commercial property.
