Intro Paragraph
Mulching is one of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to improve the health of your trees — yet many homeowners either skip it or do it incorrectly. At B&B Tree Company, we recommend mulching as part of your regular tree care routine. Here’s why it matters and how to do it right.
1. Mulch Helps Retain Moisture
During Kansas’s hot, dry summers, mulch keeps the soil cooler and prevents water from evaporating too quickly — especially important for young or newly planted trees.
2. It Protects Tree Roots
A layer of mulch acts like a natural blanket for your tree’s roots, shielding them from temperature swings and helping prevent soil compaction from foot traffic or mowers.
3. Mulch Reduces Weeds
Weeds compete with your trees for nutrients and water. Mulch creates a barrier that limits weed growth around the base of your tree.
4. It Enhances Curb Appeal
Fresh mulch around trees creates a polished, well-maintained look that adds value and visual appeal to your landscaping.
5. It Prevents Lawn Equipment Damage
We often see bark wounds on trees caused by weed whackers or lawn mowers. A proper mulch ring keeps these tools at a safe distance from the trunk.
How to Mulch the Right Way
- Spread mulch in a 2–4 inch layer around the tree base.
- Extend the mulch ring as far out as the drip line (where the branches end).
- Avoid “volcano mulching”: never pile mulch directly against the trunk, which traps moisture and causes rot.
