Mulch Season
Most of us think of mulch as something there to make the ground look good. With a clean edging job, fresh mulch does just that. The consistent color and texture do improve the looks of your shrubs and flowers. In fact, dark-colored mulches even widen the pupil of the eye, making bright plants stand out even more. Mulching also cuts down on the amount of time and effort needed to keep your beds and your whole property looking good throughout the entire season. Here are some of the advantages of spring mulching.

Some Of The Things Mulch Can Do For You
• Prevent many weeds and grasses from sprouting by blocking sunlight from the soil
• Keep up to 21% more moisture in the soil around the root zone
• Help soil stay up to 10 degrees cooler in summer, which reduces stress on plants
What's the best mulch to use? There's a huge variety of mulch material available, and you can buy either bulk or bagged mulch. Your choice will probably depend on what’s available and your personal preference for color and texture.
Whatever type of mulch you prefer, it’s best to get an early start for the most benefits. So mulch now for an easier and more attractive season later.
Moisture Manager
Proper irrigation is the most basic and necessary step in caring for your lawn and garden. While the idea is simple, the process can be a challenge. Water constantly seeps lower and lower into the ground, often past the root level. During the warm months especially, large amounts of water are lost to evaporation.
