Mulch and rock installation services.

We offer our expert mulch and rock installation services to homes and businesses. A popular time of the year to refresh mulch or rock is during the spring. However, we install ground covers at virtually all times of the year, except winter.

We recommend customers add new mulch annually and new rock bi-annually. This not only allows you to continue reaping the health benefits of the mulch for the plants in your beds, it also leaves your landscaping beds beautiful and bountiful all through the season.

Benefits of Mulch.

While mulch provides decorative value to your landscaping beds, the benefits go much further. Some of the most important benefits that come from fresh mulch in your landscaping include:

• • Water loss is reduced when using mulch.
• • Mulch improves the soil's moisture and nutrient absorption.
• • Your landscaping beds will be less prone to soil erosion.
• • Mulch suppresses weed growth and the spread of multiple types of plant diseases.
• • The mulch acts as a temperature regulator by keeping the soil cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Proper installation of your mulch is important to reach its maximum benefits, which is why it's a great idea to leave the task to GM Landscaping.

Benefits of Rock.

We primarily do mulching for our residential and commercial customers. However, rock can be requested directly from any customer. Though rock shares many of the same benefits as mulch, there are some benefits to using rock in your landscaping beds that are different, such as:

• • Rock is low maintenance and needs to be replaced less often than mulch.
• • Rock is less expensive than mulch in the long run, because it lasts longer.
• • Rock has the capability of keeping weeds away longer than mulch.

One downside to choosing rock instead of mulch is that it can result in an imbalance in your soil's pH, making it harder for some plants to grow well. Additionally, rocks can get extremely hot, which raises the temperature of the soil.
