Why Mulching Matters: The Secret to a Healthier Landscape

Mulch may not be the flashiest part of your yard — but it’s one of the hardest-working tools in any landscape.

At Hurley Landscaping, we recommend fresh mulch each spring not just for looks, but for function. A clean layer of mulch helps regulate soil temperature, retain moisture, and suppress weeds — giving your plants the healthiest start possible. Plus, it gives your garden beds that crisp, clean, and professional look every homeowner loves.

Here’s why now is the perfect time to mulch:

  • Moisture Retention: Mulch helps your soil stay hydrated, which is especially important as temperatures begin to rise.
  • Weed Control: A thick layer blocks sunlight and reduces weed growth naturally — less work for you!
  • Soil Health: Organic mulch breaks down over time and enriches the soil with nutrients.
  • Curb Appeal: Nothing freshens up your yard like a neat, dark mulch bed. It’s an instant upgrade.

Not sure how much mulch you need or which type is best? We’ll help you choose the right material and apply it evenly and efficiently across your landscape.
