Mulch Madness: Why Spring is the Best Time to Refresh Your Beds
There’s something about a fresh layer of mulch that makes a yard instantly look clean, crisp, and professionally cared for. It’s not just for show either—mulch plays a huge role in keeping your landscaping healthy.
At Pusher’s Lawn Care and Landscaping, we recommend mulching in early spring to set the tone for the rest of the season. Here’s why now is the perfect time to schedule your mulch refresh in Owensboro, KY.
🌿 What Does Mulch Actually Do?
Mulch is more than just a decorative touch. It acts as a protective barrier for your plants and soil. When applied correctly, it offers benefits like:
- Moisture retention (less watering needed)
- Weed suppression (fewer hours spent pulling!)
- Soil temperature regulation (especially important as temps rise)
- Erosion control
- Organic matter enrichment as it breaks down
And yes—it makes your beds look clean and polished.
🌷 Why Spring Is the Best Time to Mulch
- 🌞 Get ahead of the summer heat: Mulch helps your soil hold onto water, which is crucial as the sun gets stronger.
- 🌱 Suppress early weed growth: Laying mulch now helps stop weed seeds from germinating as temps rise.
- 🪴 Enhance new plantings: If you’re planning spring flowers or shrubs, mulch helps them get established with fewer pests and better moisture control.
- 🏡 Boost curb appeal instantly: Spring is when everyone’s out and about. Show off a yard that’s already dialed in!
🌳 What Type of Mulch Is Best?
We offer a variety of mulch types, including:
- Hardwood mulch (most popular and great for plant beds)
- Dyed mulch (black, brown, red—your pick!)
- Cedar mulch (smells great and repels some bugs)
Need help choosing? We’re happy to recommend the best option for your soil, plants, and budget.
