Ahh, Fall season is finally here!

As the temperatures drop and leaves fall, you might think your landscaping tasks are
winding down. But if you want your soil and plants to thrive come spring, fall is the perfect
time to add mulch. Mulching in fall isn’t just a final touch; it’s an essential step to protect your
soil and plants from winter’s challenges.

Some of the ways mulching can help your soil over the colder season:

– It protects soil temperature & plant roots

– It helps with moisture retention & water conservation

– Helps improve soil quality over time

Adding mulch in the fall has numerous benefits that make a noticeable difference for both
commercial and residential landscapes. Mulch acts as a protective layer that insulates the
soil, helping it stay warmer during cold nights and retaining moisture when it’s dry. By
keeping soil temperatures steady, mulch prevents the freeze-thaw cycle, which can harm
plant roots. For commercial properties, stable soil and healthier plants in spring improve curb
appeal, making your business more welcoming.

Fall mulching helps lock in moisture, an asset during dry winter spells. A layer of mulch
reduces the amount of water lost to evaporation, cutting down on the need for frequent
watering. This moisture retention doesn’t just benefit the plants—it supports soil organisms
that break down nutrients, keeping your soil rich and healthy. Additionally, mulching can
suppress weeds, saving you time and money on landscape maintenance.
