Mulch Installation in Riverton
Good mulch does three jobs in a Riverton bed: it holds moisture, blocks weed seed from reaching light, and keeps soil temperatures steady. On the open bluff lots where summer sun bakes the clay, that moisture-holding alone keeps plantings alive between waterings. In the shaded riverside beds, a clean layer of mulch covers the bare, weedy ground the lawn never managed to fill.
Two to Three Inches, Never Volcanoed
We lay mulch two to three inches deep, enough to do its job without smothering roots. The one thing we never do is pile it up against trunks in a cone, because that “volcano” traps moisture against the bark and rots the tree from the collar down. We keep mulch pulled back a few inches from every trunk and stem, edge the beds clean, and refresh the color without burying last year’s layer into a soggy mat.
Mulch finishes a landscape design and protects new tree and shrub plantings. Our mulch installation page has the options, with everything under Riverton.
