Ground cover is one of the most important aspects of any landscape. It adds beauty to your property, enhances steep terrain where mowing is difficult, and can be a good solution for erosion control. It also serves other important purposes, as in the case of mulch. Proper mulching around trees, shrubs, and in flower beds helps with weed prevention, protects vulnerable aspects of your plantings, and even aids in hydration. Ground cover of any kind requires expert application and care to maximize its benefits.
MULCH IN YOUR LANDSCAPE
Covering your landscape with mulch is one of the best ways to instantly add visual appeal. When you apply mulch to the plant beds, shrubs, and trees on your property, you immediately add a clean, finished look to the appearance of these areas. But with the use of mulch you can also:
- Reduce weed growth
- Maintain a more uniform soil temperature throughout the year
- Help prevent erosion of vital topsoil
- Protect tree and shrub trunks from damage caused by gardening equipment
- Encourage deep growth and expansion of root systems
Permanent Ground Cover
Ground covers like pea stone, crushed shell, or gravel all serve to delineate and beautify areas of your business’s landscape. This can also add visual interest in the way of color and texture. In order to truly maximize the benefits of permanent ground cover, it takes experts, like GREEN HILLS, to help you choose the cover that is going to work best in a given area.
