Mulching

It looks good, but it also helps retain water, which can be very important during the dog days of summer.  Mulch keeps ground water from evaporating, thereby making some precious water available.  BUT, mulch applied haphazardly can actually be bad for the soil and the plants by compressing it too much, and not letting air in.  SO, you need someone who knows what they’re doing, and has done it before, so they get it JUST right. Knowing how to test for compaction and choose the right product for each bed is what separates a proper installation from one that looks finished but quietly harms the soil. Our guide to spring mulching covers exactly what that process looks like, from timing and depth to the mistakes that cost homeowners plants every season.

So don’t assume just because mulching looks easy, that it is.  Like everything else in your landscape, there is more to it than meets the eye, and you will pay for a careless application.
