Residential Mulch Installation & Cultivation Services in Baton Rouge, LA

Understanding Mulching & Its Significance

Mulching is a valuable practice involving the application of a protective layer of material onto the surface of your garden soil. The thickness of the mulch layer, typically ranging from 2 to 4 inches, depends on the size of your plants or garden beds. This chosen material is spread over the uppermost soil layer surrounding your plants. The Grounds Guys of Baton Rouge are proud to offer professional mulch installation services in Baton Rouge, LA.

Incorporating mulching into your lawn care plan yields numerous benefits that enhance your outdoor space. Mulch is a natural barrier, suppressing weed growth and minimizing soil compaction, especially during rainy seasons. It fosters soil enrichment, contributes to stable soil temperatures, and conserves water by retaining moisture from watering, efficiently transferring it to the plant roots. Furthermore, mulch lends an aesthetically pleasing and uniform appearance to your flower beds and garden.

    Our Varied Mulch Offerings

    Mulch options fall into two main categories: organic and inorganic. Both can deter weed growth, but while organic mulches improve soil quality as they decompose, inorganic mulches do not break down and enrich the soil. Inorganic mulches can, however, raise soil temperatures, which may benefit heat-loving plants like eggplants and cherry tomatoes.

Different Types of Organic and Inorganic Mulch

Wood chips

Ideal for flower beds and shrub borders, though not suitable for annual flower beds and vegetable gardens due to annual digging.

Stones

Effective at suppressing weeds for extended periods, making them suitable for rock and cacti gardens but increasing soil temperatures and offering no soil benefits.

Grass clippings

As they decompose, they release vital nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, although they can become a habitat for pests.

Cocoa hulls

These contain nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphate, and potash, benefiting soil vitality but may attract pests when wet or develop harmless mold in humid climates.

Wood shavings

Reduce water and fertilizer needs while enhancing yard aesthetics; however, they can block airflow, potentially leading to root rot and fungus. Our landscape mulch services will take your landscape into account and determine the best material.

Straw

Excellent for building healthy soil, regulating moisture, and maintaining temperature in gardens, but it may contain seeds that lead to weed growth.

Bark chips

Superior water absorption, longer-lasting, and suitable for drier landscapes; as they decompose, they may deplete soil nitrogen content. Our lawn mulching services are tailored to your landscape.

Pine straw

Low-maintenance and erosion control-friendly but requires frequent replacement and can attract pests like mice and spiders.
