Mulch conserves soil moisture for shrubs and other plantings, keeps the soil looser and temperate, adds nutrients as it decomposes and provides color contrast so that your landscape stands out. Mulch inhibits the growth of weeds, each of which could produce many seeds and quickly take over. Hawk Rock Yard Works provides an array of superior landscape improvement and maintenance services (see ad above) for the busy property owner. Call us today for a beautiful property tomorrow!
