Soil Dressing / Mulch

Different garden and landscaping environments have different needs, Fieldstone Landscape and Design recognizes this and works carefully to provide you with the right soil dressing and mulch necessary to enhance soil quality and improve plant growth. By applying mulch appropriately around trees and shrubs, we can suppress weeds, conserve water, improve nutrient content, and thus enable easier maintenance and health of plants.

Spread on top of soil, mulch acts as a protective layer for the soil. Mulches are either organic or inorganic. Inorganic mulches consist of stones, gravel, and brick chips. Fieldstone Landscape and Design provides organic mulches that dramatically enrich soil aeration, structure, and drainage over time.

In addition, mulches keep fruit and vegetable areas clean, allowing easy access to gardens even when soil is damp. Mulches lower the amount of compaction that occurs naturally in the soil from heavy rains, keeping the soil more aerated. Mulches also offer a complete and clean appearance to the garden. You should apply mulch to your soil depending upon what you hope to achieve in your landscape. Fieldstone Landscape and Design can assist you in determining the optimal times to apply mulch for your landscape in every season.
