Prepare the Area: Before laying down mulch, clear the area of any debris, weeds, or excess of existing mulch. This step ensures a clean surface for the new mulch and prevents weeds from growing through.
Weed Barrier: Consider laying down a weed barrier fabric or landscape fabric to further prevent weed growth. This barrier helps block sunlight and suppress weed growth while allowing water to penetrate the soil.
Edging: Define the borders of your mulched area by installing landscape edging. This helps contain the mulch and prevents it from spilling onto surrounding surfaces like sidewalks or lawns.
Calculate Depth: Determine the appropriate depth of mulch for your landscape. Generally, a layer of mulch 1.5-3 inches deep is sufficient for most applications. However, around trees and shrubs, you may need to adjust the depth to avoid suffocating the roots.
Spread Evenly: Distribute the mulch evenly across the designated area using a rake or shovel. Avoid piling mulch too close to the base of plants or tree trunks, as this can promote moisture retention and lead to rot or disease.
Avoid Mulch Volcanoes: Refrain from creating \"mulch volcanoes\" around the base of trees, where mulch is piled up against the trunk. Instead, create a slight depression around the tree to prevent water from pooling and causing root rot.
Leave Breathing Room: Avoid covering the entire soil surface with mulch, especially in areas where plants are actively growing. Leave some bare soil around the base of plants to allow for air circulation and water absorption.
Maintain Edges: Periodically check and maintain the edges of your mulched areas to prevent mulch from spilling over onto adjacent surfaces. Trim any overgrown grass or weeds along the edges to maintain a neat appearance.
