May Mulching: The Secret to a Healthy, Beautiful Landscape

As May ushers in warmer temperatures and longer days, it’s the perfect time to give your landscape a boost with fresh mulch. Mulching is one of the most effective and affordable ways to improve the health and appearance of your property. At Lawn Harmony Landscaping, we know that a well-mulched garden not only looks fantastic but also supports thriving plants all season long.

Why Mulch in May?

May is ideal for mulching because the soil has warmed up, spring weeds are just starting to emerge, and your plants are entering their most active growing phase. Applying mulch now helps:

Conserve Moisture: Mulch keeps soil cool and retains water, reducing the need for frequent watering as summer heat arrives.

Suppress Weeds: A fresh layer of mulch blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds, making it harder for them to sprout and compete with your plants.

Improve Soil Health: As organic mulch breaks down, it adds valuable nutrients and improves soil structure.

Enhance Curb Appeal: A tidy, well-mulched landscape instantly looks more polished and inviting.

How to Mulch for Maximum Benefit

Follow these simple steps for the best results:

Clear the Area: Remove weeds, old mulch, and debris from your beds.

Edge Your Beds: Create crisp edges for a clean, professional look.

Apply the Right Depth: Spread mulch 2–3 inches deep. Too much can suffocate roots, while too little won’t provide enough protection.

Keep Mulch Away from Stems: Leave a small gap around the base of plants and tree trunks to prevent rot and pest issues.

Choose Quality Mulch: Organic options like shredded bark, wood chips, or composted leaves are best for nourishing your soil.

While mulching might seem simple, professional service ensures even coverage, proper depth, and a flawless finish.
