Reduced Watering: a solid layer of mulch will hold moisture and protect roots from the unexpected dry spells, although watering is still necessary in most cases. The roots are also better protected from direct sunlight and drying winds.
Protection: covering the area around plants, shrubs and flowers helps protect roots from temperature changes all year long.
Weed Control: Mulch is an excellent deterrent to the new growth of weeds and grass.
Stops Soil Erosion: The interlocking fibers help prevent erosion under normal weather conditions.
Aesthetics: Mulch is a quick way to dress up your home's curb appeal! It creates a tailored look for your yard and reduces those areas that are difficult to mow.
