Mulch is more than just a finishing touch for your landscape—it plays a vital role in maintaining soil health, regulating moisture, and preventing weed growth. But how often should you refresh your mulch to keep your yard looking its best and functioning properly? Let’s break it down.
Over time, mulch breaks down, enriching the soil but losing its effectiveness in the process. Aged mulch can compact, trapping moisture and encouraging fungal growth, or it can thin out, exposing soil to weeds and temperature extremes. Regularly refreshing your mulch not only keeps your landscape aesthetically pleasing but also ensures it continues to do its job effectively.
For most Chattanooga landscapes, refreshing mulch once a year is ideal, typically in late spring or early summer. This timing replenishes the protective layer just before the peak growing season while avoiding the winter months when plants need less insulation.
By staying proactive with mulch maintenance, you’ll keep your landscape healthy, weed-free, and visually appealing year-round.
