Mulch Renewal

Mulch renewal is the practice of refreshing or replacing the layer of mulch around plants, trees, and garden beds to maintain its benefits and improve the appearance of the landscape. Over time, mulch can break down, wash away, or become compacted, reducing its effectiveness in suppressing weeds, retaining soil moisture, and insulating plant roots. Renewing mulch involves adding a fresh layer, usually 2-3 inches thick, to ensure continued protection and nourishment for the soil. Mulch renewal is typically done in the spring or fall, depending on the climate and the needs of the plants. Regular mulch renewal is essential for maintaining healthy soil, reducing weed growth, and giving the garden a neat, finished look.
