Reasons to Use Mulch in Your Commercial Landscaping

Mulch is a landscaping jack-of-all-trades, whether you’re using it for landscaping a sloped backyard or just filling space in your flower beds. The benefits of mulching abound, and mulching can be a cheap, easy way to upgrade your outdoor spaces. 

While you may not have thought about using mulch in your commercial landscaping, it can be quite beneficial there as well. Over many years of providing commercial landscaping design services in Exton, PA, we’ve learned that mulch is a veritable garden hero! Here are good reasons to use mulch when landscaping your commercial property, anywhere from in your plant beds to open spaces around your trees and bushes.

Mulch Keeps Plants Growing

If you’re invested in the health of your plants, mulch is a landscape maintenance essential. Mulch insulates and protects your plants. When you put mulch in your flower beds, you’re keeping plants and trees protected from cold weather, nibbling pests, and more. Fresh mulch also can help with retaining moisture, meaning you conserve water. And who doesn’t like saving a couple of bucks on utility bills, especially when you’re trying to bring in more money for your business or other commercial property?

Mulch Weeds Out the Weeds

Mulch helps prevent weeds from growing amongst your plants and strangling their roots. It also means you spend less time weeding on your commercial property. Mulch can also prevent unwanted visitors because weed growth can attract more animals that, in turn, eat the plants you want to keep. 

When you spend extra time weeding, you need to find a landscaping team or dedicate your own time to clearing out these annoying, unwanted plants — which is why you should consider professional mulching for your commercial property. A good professional team will use the best organic materials and cover every part of your flower beds or open spaces in order to prevent weeds from sneaking their way amongst your plants.

Mulch Keeps Soil Healthy

Preventing soil erosion is a top lawn maintenance priority for many commercial property owners. When you use mulch, especially organic mulch, on your commercial property, your soil stays healthier buried under the cover of nutrient-rich, moist material. Mulch also keeps your soil healthy because it protects seeds and shrubs you’ve planted from being eaten by birds, rodents, and other local wildlife.

Mulch Boosts Curb Appeal

If you need any specific reason to make time to mulch your commercial property, do it because it boosts your property’s curb appeal. Visitors, customers, and employees benefit from a more attractive place to visit, shop, or work, blooming with seasonal colors — and you may even be improving people’s moods, according to research on planting flowers around commercial spaces.

Making curb appeal a priority will boost the value of your property both on the real estate market and also as a destination for people to visit and enjoy. Even if you don’t plan on selling your commercial property, it’s a mistake to ignore curb appeal.
