Mulching

Conservation

Mulching borders, trees, hedges, ornamental fruits and vegetables produces many benefits for the garden.

• Moisture retention
• Reducing weed growth
• Prevents soil erosion
• Insulates soil in winter
• Cools down soil in summer
• Prevents and reduces soil compaction
• Adds nutrients back to the soil as the mulch breaks down
• Adds visual enhancement to borders, tree circles, fruit and woodlands
• Improves soil texture
• Conditions soils

Country Park Landscapes ensure that the types of mulch used are renewable and organic wherever possible. Some organic mulch, such as Farm Yard Manure is certified, ensuring herbicide residues are not contained within the product. Several types of mulch are available as listed below:

• Chipped Bark
• Composted Bark
• Medium Bark Mulch
• Ornamental bark
• Woodland Chippings
• Farm Yard Manure
• Mushroom Compost
• Recycled Green Leaf Mulch and Farm Yard Manure (50/50) *

Biodegradable mulch

Biodegradable mulch breaks down gradually, releasing nutrients into the soil which helps to improve the structure. Overt time the mulch will need replacing as the material breaks down. One of the finest materials we use is the Recycled* Green Leaf Mulch and Farm Yard Manure (50/50). Used on general borders, this material adds nutrient benefits, soil conditioning, and visual enhancement. Being a recycled material the cost is also economical. Woodland Chippings is regularly used around trees and under hedgerows. Often recycled from our own tree surgery operations, this material is renewable, sustainable and releases nutrients back into the soil. Woodland Chippings also protect the trees in varying seasonal temperatures and prevent soil compaction and conditions soils around the tree.
