Mulching in Macon
Mulch isn't just decorative. A well-installed layer of mulch over the root zone of a tree retains moisture, moderates soil temperature, suppresses weeds, and slowly feeds the soil as it breaks down. We install mulch the right way — at the right depth and well clear of trunks.
How we mulch
- Apply 2–4 inches of mulch over the root zone — never more.
- Pull mulch 3–6 inches back from the trunk flare (no 'volcano mulching').
- Extend the mulched ring as far as practical — ideally to the dripline.
- Use clean, aged hardwood or pine bark mulch unless you've requested something specific.
FAQ
