Last updated September 7, 2023

Any time of year, but especially in fall and spring, it's important to insulate your garden with a layer of mulch for protection from extreme weather. A blanket of mulch also gives your garden beds a fresh and tidy look.

Get started refreshing your garden by cleaning up edges, composting spent plants and treating gardens to a layer of mulch. You can also use mulch to protect trees in your landscape when you install a tree ring.
