Importance of Mulch & Pine Needles

Why is it important to install mulch and pine needles?

• It is important for the health of your shrubs, flowers, and trees.
• Mulch and pine needles help insulate the soil to provide protection from heat and cold temperatures for plant, flower, and tree roots.
• Proper depth of Mulch or pine needles will help retain water and help keep the roots moist.
• Fresh Mulch and pine needles keeps weeds out to help prevent root competition.
• Mulch and pine needles will help prevents soil compaction and erosion.

Types of Mulch & Pine Needles:

• Double Ground: Double ground mulch is bark that is shredded twice.  Most people install double ground mulch in our area.  Double ground mulch comes in natural, dark brown, and black color. 
• Triple Ground: Triple ground mulch is great for fruit and vegetable gardens.  January and February are the perfect time to install triple ground mulch for your garden.  It will normally decompose within 6 months, which will give vital nutrients to your plants as they grow.
• Pine Needles: Pine needles come in two types, short or long needle.  We can install both.  While many people say that pine needles will help acidify your soil because they are acidic, that is false.  Once pine needles turn brown they are not longer acidic.  Even green pine needles are only slightly acidic once they fall off the tree.  So we will be happy to install them if you would like us to.
