Why Use Mulch?

You may be asking yourself, “Why should I use mulch?” Mulch offers several tangible benefits to homeowners and professional landscapers seeking to create gardens and landscapes of striking beauty and vitality. These benefits include weed control, moisture retention during dry conditions, and improving soil structure to prevent soil compaction (often resulting from heavy rains or harsh sun). Mulch also adds a look of refinement and artistry to all landscapes, gardens, and flower beds.

Benefits of Using Mulch.

Gardens and landscapes are complex ecosystems. Mulch helps to maintain the vitality of gardens and landscapes in several ways. Mulch enables the soil in gardens and landscapes to retain the levels of oxygen necessary for the growth of healthy root structures in decorative plants, flowers, and shrubs. Mulch also serves to protect the surface roots of trees and shrubbery from injuries caused by string trimmers and lawn mower blades. And if these benefits weren’t enough to convince you to use mulch in your gardens and landscaping, consider that mulch helps to provide shelter to earthworms and other beneficial organisms that serve to aerate the soil in your garden and landscape beds.

The Norfleet Difference.

We invite you to experience the Norfleet Difference. That difference is consistent quality that enhances the appearance of gardens and landscapes. Norfleet Premium Mulches are made with selected pine and hardwood barks that provide excellent ground cover and moisture-retention properties. In addition, mulches made with bark also resist termites. This feature is in sharp contrast to the characteristics offered by cheap “commercial-grade” bagged mulches sold by the large home-improvement chain stores. “Commercial-grade” bagged mulches often attract termites, as they contain a high percentage of wood-fiber by-products. For your next garden or landscaping project, insist on using only Norfleet Premium Mulches. And transform ordinary landscapes into scenery with greenery!
