The benefits of mulch in Williamsport, MD and Hagerstown, MD

Magnificent Mulch
Mulch is much more than good looks

The aesthetic benefits that mulch brings to your landscape are obvious, but have you ever wondered what purposes it serves beyond beautification? In addition to improving the looks of your property, mulching is one of the best ways to protect and improve the health of your landscape plants.

Applied properly by Grosh's Lawn Service, mulch will benefit both your plants and soil in the following ways:
  • It will help to retain soil moisture.
  • It will reduce weed growth.
  • It will maintain a more even soil temperature throughout the year.
  • It will help to prevent soil erosion.
  • It will prevent crusting of soil surfaces to improve water absorption.
  • It will protect tree and shrub trunks from lawn equipment damage.
  • It will encourage the expansion of root systems.


Since mulch is so beneficial, it can be tempting to go overboard with the application. Too much of it, however, can do more harm than good.

At Grosh's Lawn Service, we make sure that the total mulch depth never exceeds 4", and we never pile it up against trunks and stems. This subjects trunks and stems to constantly moist conditions, which can encourage diseases to develop.

For a great-looking landscape and healthier, more beautiful trees and shrubs, mulch really is marvelous! To learn more, give us a call at 301.842.0062. Tom@GroshsLawnService.com
