In general, mulch is shredded old tree limbs and shrubs that have been composted. In this part of the country, pine and cedar are commonly used as mulch material. The benefits of mulching are multi-faceted. Mulch keeps moisture in the soil, which is essential during our hot months—and helps keep your water bill down! Mulch reduces the growth of unsightly weeds. Expert mulch installation also can prevent erosion, something important during our monsoon-like rains. Some mulches are specifically made to knit together and form a matted surface. This type of mulch is particularly beneficial where there is any elevation, since erosion happens there first.
