Why Do We Need Mulch?
Mulch works as insulation for the soil and provides protection from hot and cold temperatures.
Mulch retains water - reducing the amount of watering needed - and helps root systems stay healthy.
Mulch helps keep weeds out and minimizes competition of essential nutrients for plants.
Mulch decomposes over time and improves soil drainage as it breaks down.
Mulch helps prevent disease and provides protection from heavy rain.
Mulch adds a finished look to any landscape or container garden.
Proper Use of Mulch:
Choose the RIGHT mulch!
Silver Creek Materials mulches are made from North Texas native trees, 100% Cedar or Pine - Made in Texas for Texas Gardens.
Purchase enough to cover the area!
A beautiful garden starts with GREAT soil. However, mulch is the key to keeping your garden and landscaping lush and lively. Do not skimp! Use at least 3” in all landscape areas… This is one area where “more is better,” so why not use 4” instead.
How often should you mulch?
Mulch in the early spring and again in the fall. This will provide protection year round and keep your garden looking spectacular! With colors from Cedar and Native trees in Black Anvil, Saddle Brown, or Palo Duro Red finishes, you can change the look of your landscape anytime you want.
