Mulch Installation Services for Southeast Wisconsin
Mulching Promotes Healthy Plant Growth & Adds Aesthetic Appeal
Mulching is vital for maintaining healthy, vibrant outdoor spaces in Southeast Wisconsin. Whether refreshing your garden beds, protecting new plantings or enhancing curb appeal, fresh landscape mulching provides beauty and functionality. Applied annually or during new landscaping projects, mulch acts as a protective layer, shielding soil and plants while adding a polished look to your property.
Oberndorfer Landscaping delivers high-quality residential and commercial mulching services tailored to your needs. "Mulch" refers to any material used to cover and protect soil. Organic mulches, like bark or wood chips, are a favorite among homeowners for their natural appearance and soil-enriching properties. Over time, mulch breaks down and returns valuable nutrients to the soil. Inorganic options, such as gravel, offer a low-maintenance alternative often preferred for commercial properties.
Natural Mulch Installation
Natural mulch, like bark or wood chips, enhances landscapes with its aesthetic appeal and soil benefits. As mulch decomposes, it enriches the soil with nutrients and promotes healthier plant growth. While mulch requires more frequent reapplication than inorganic options, its eco-friendly properties make natural mulch a top choice for gardens, landscape mulching and residential areas.
Considerations Before Choosing Dyed Mulch
Dyed mulch may look vibrant, but it poses risks to your landscape:
- Dyed mulch is often made from recycled wood waste including pressure-treated lumber containing harmful chemicals like chromium, copper and arsenic.
- Dyes can leach into the soil, harming beneficial organisms like bacteria, earthworms and plants.
- Dyed mulch fails to decompose and enrich the soil while depleting nitrogen and competing with plants for nutrients.
- Experts advise against dyed mulch, especially around young plants or new landscapes.
If you choose dyed mulch, opt for non-toxic materials and use it cautiously.
Benefits of Mulching
Aside from the clean, attractive appearance mulch gives your yard, proper mulching yields several other benefits. Mulch acts as a protective layer against drastic weather changes, maintaining even soil temperatures and keeping the soil moist to stimulate the growth of good soil microorganisms. Mulch hinders the growth of weeds and erosion and enriches soil with nutrients for healthier growth to help your flower beds and gardens flourish. Mulching also eliminates mowing around trees and other large plants.
