MULCHING IN West Bend, WI

WHY GO WITH MULCH?

Odds are you've seen mulch in gardens, but if you've ever wondered exactly what its objective is, you've come to the right place!

The principal advantage of mulch comes from its capacity to preserve soil moisture, but in addition, it helps fight weed growth and improve soil health and serves as a visually interesting addition to your yard. Mulch also helps to shield your soil from the elements. All told, mulch is actually a great way to keep your outdoor area looking great, and your soil chock full of nutrients.

A good deal of water can be lost due to evaporation, so mulch functions as a means to keep this from happening, while also being aesthetically pleasing. Mulch comes in many forms, so there's bound to be one that suits your requirements while also adding yet another intriguing visual component to your outdoor space.

Stone and Rock Mulch for Your Property!

Here at Herriges Lawn & Landscaping, Inc. we specialize in stone mulching, also known as rock mulch. Stone mulch is basically crushed rocks used in residential and commercial landscapes. It is perfect for hands-off maintenance since stone does not decay or decompose. Without having to replace mulch regularly, stone mulch also comes in many different colors and sizes. Many people choose pumice volcanic stone for its light weight and neutral dark gray color, but there are several options such as gravel and crushed stone, river stones, slate, pebbles, and marble.

Many experts use stone mulch for ponds, xeriscaping, driveways, walkways, and even yard designs. A yard will benefit from most stone mulch due to their inability to retain moisture, unlike organic mulch types. Less moisture means less invasive plants from growing. However, there are stone mulch options that do allow water to get in, so if that is what you are looking for, Herriges Lawn & Landscaping, Inc. has the options!

For a little bit of background, inorganic mulch such as stone mulch, while lacking the nourishing qualities of organic substances, is a good choice if you're looking for something with less maintenance - while still being visually pleasing. Inorganic mulch will not break down as quickly as its organic counterpart, which makes it a cost effective alternative to other kinds of compost.
