Mulch Volcano Removal

Mulch volcano removal is the process of correcting the improper application of mulch, where it is piled up in a cone-like shape around the base of a tree, resembling a volcano. This practice, known as "mulch volcano," can lead to several problems, including bark rot, pest infestation, and root suffocation. The correct technique involves spreading the mulch evenly in a flat layer around the tree's root zone, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. Mulch volcano removal ensures that the tree receives the benefits of mulching, such as moisture retention and temperature regulation, without the risks associated with improper mulching practices. Proper mulching is essential for the health and longevity of trees in landscaped areas.
