Mulch might not be the flashiest thing in your garden, but it’s one of the hardest-working! Whether you’re growing flowers, veggies, shrubs, or trees, adding a fresh layer of mulch is one of the simplest and most impactful things you can do to boost your landscape’s health—and its beauty.
So, what makes mulch such a garden superhero?
Locks in Moisture
Texas heat is no joke. A good layer of mulch helps the soil retain moisture, keeping plant roots cooler and reducing how often you need to water.
Stops Weeds in Their Tracks
Mulch acts like a natural weed barrier. Fewer weeds = happier plants and less work for you!
Regulates Soil Temperature
It keeps soil cooler in summer and warmer in winter, creating a more stable environment for roots.
Adds Curb Appeal
Fresh mulch gives garden beds a clean, polished look that makes your whole landscape pop.
